Hi, JP students and WHOI postdocs!

Just wanted to send a reminded about the upcoming Fowler seminar. Malin 
Pinsky is an exceptional scientist (Pew Fellow, scads of Science and 
Nature papers, etc) and a really great person. He's worked broadly on 
climate change impacts on the ocean, particularly on larval dispersal, 
fisheries, and range shifts. He's done some clever synthetic analyses of 
existing data sets as well as experimental work in reef fish and other 
systems, and he's a very broad thinker. I know him from grad school, and 
can vouch for him being both exceptionally smart and genuinely nice, and 
I'm delighted that we're getting him here for a visit.

There are several opportunities to meet with Malin while he's here:

Thursday (1 May): Lunch w/ JP students

Friday (2 May): Lunch w/ postdocs

Friday (2 May): Informal marine dispersal discussion at Aquatic 
Brewery*, open to all who are interested

* Note that this one is BYOB (Buy Your Own Beer), since the seminar fund 
will not cover alcohol.

If you'd like to join for any of these events, please let me and Greg 
Britten know! (Thanks to all who've already replied.)

Hope to see many of you at the seminar,

Carolyn

Blurb from the UCSC website:

"Malin Pinsky, Associate Professor at the University of California Santa 
Cruz, is a biologist with expertise in the adaptation of ocean life to 
climate change and applications to ocean conservation and fisheries. His 
more than 120 publications have appeared in Science, Nature, and other 
journals, and his research has been covered by the New York Times, Wall 
Street Journal, and BBC, among others. He is a Fellow of the American 
Association for the Advancement of Science, an Earth Leadership Fellow, 
and an Early Career Fellow of the Ecological Society of America. He was 
named one of Science News’ ten scientists to watch in 2019 and was 
awarded the first Peter Larkin Award in Fisheries Science in 2024. 
Pinsky serves on advisory boards for the Beijer Institute of the Royal 
Swedish Academy of Sciences, the non-profit Oceana, and the Chewonki 
Foundation. He has a Ph.D. in Biology from Stanford University and an 
A.B. in Biology and Environmental Studies from Williams College. He grew 
up exploring tidepools and mountains in Maine."

Climate Change Responses Across Realms and Biological Scales*
Malin Pinsky, University of California, Santa Cruz
Sponsored by: Carolyn Tepolt and Greg Britten in Biology – Redfield 
Auditorium
This will be a hybrid seminar held inRedfield Auditorium. If you wish to 
join virtually, you can access the Zoom link 
here:https://whoi-edu.zoom.us/j/97877666940
Meeting ID: 978 7766 6940
Passcode: CBB1t!
(Join us for coffee and cookies in the Redfield lobby before the seminar)

There will be several opportunities to meet with Malin on May 1^st  or 
2^nd  while he's at WHOI, including lunches with graduate students and 
postdocs. If you would like to meet with Malin, or if you're a student 
or postdoc who'd like to join for lunch, please email Carolyn Tepolt 
(ctepolt at whoi.edu) and Greg Britten (gregory.britten at whoi.edu).

Abstract:

Climate change is driving a seemingly idiosyncratic reorganization of 
ecological communities around the world, but what general rules allow us 
to understand this change through time? I will present evidence 
suggesting the scales and processes of biological response differ 
fundamentally across realms, with a major role for individual adaptation 
in place on land and more widespread population-scale geographic shifts 
at sea. Despite these differences, rapid turnover in species 
compositions are occurring across realms. Taking a process-oriented 
approach to understanding global ecological change both reveals general 
rules and illuminates solutions to contemporary conservation challenges.
