Congrats to Kat for becoming the first student to graduate from the Johansen Lab following the successful defense of her master's thesis on Friday! We wish her well in her future endeavors and hope to see her often.

Find out in the Johansen Lab's most recent publication, "Impacts of ocean warming on fish size reductions on the world’s hottest coral reefs", published in Nature Communications.

The news release has hit nearly all the main dailies in the UAE including The National, Gulf News, Al Etihad, and Al Khaleej, among others. This research has gained attention around the world scoring in the top 5% of all research outputs by Altmetric.

Jacob Johansen, Jake Snyder and Mathias Sorensen traveled to Naples, Italy where Mathias presented his preliminary results at the European Coral Reef Symposium. 

Leon and Jasmine traveled to Prague, Check Republic to present their preliminary results at the Society of Experimental Biology. Jasmine presented her poster on, "Metabolic responses to suspended settlement in a Hawaiian herbivorous reef fish", while Leon presented his on, "Body size variation and sensitivity to marine heatwaves in the day octopus (Octopus cyanea)". Leon also received the Best Early Career Research Award for his poster session, "Tipping the scales: balancing energy acquisition, expenditure, and allocation in an ever-changing world", sponsored by Functional Ecology. Congrats and welcome back!
