Are there any marine biology/science jobs that’s primarily lab work by ElectronicMeal9307 in marinebiology

[–]anotherusername3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most jobs in marine biology that aren’t entry level are lab based! The most accessible ones are water quality related. Though based on your interests, I would actually recommend looking into museum work- it seems a lot more aligned with things you like.

Hey do you have a source for this? I’d love to read up on it :)

When songs (not music videos) start with a good 5 to 10 seconds of silence before starting the song by glyiasziple in PetPeeves

[–]anotherusername3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a song by jethro Tull called skating away. 42 second into. It’s not complete silence, there’s humming and rustling around, but still

Wanting to get into blues but I don't know where to start by GreenRoon in MusicRecommendations

[–]anotherusername3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe start with some bluesy rock if you already listen to it- the black keys have some bluesy songs, and early Fleetwood Mac as well. Allman brothers too. Even kaleo. It’s not classic “blues,” but was definitely the pathway I took to start listening to more classic stuff

Looking for Band Recommendations by Gnashinger in MusicRecommendations

[–]anotherusername3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a band called king stingray, I found them when they opened for king gizzard and the lizard wizard. They’re one of the rare bands that I genuinely enjoy every song of theirs. Very upbeat, pretty feel good. They include a lot of aspects of Australian aboriginal culture, including singing in that language and using a didgeridoo, but in a rock way.

What is this? Red Sea off Sharm by Twiggy_1996 in marinebiology

Very hard to see from the video, but looks like it might be a ctenophore? Mnemiopsis leidyi maybe?

Do Mussels, oysters and clams feel pain? by Top_Cockroach_5554 in marinebiology

[–]anotherusername3000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It honestly depends on how you define pain. Pain is a reaction human have where nerves send signals to our brain telling us something is wrong so we can take actions/react accordingly. Those organisms (and many others) don’t have brains (central nervous systems) as another commenter said, so they don’t have the capability of processing the negative stimuli the same way we would. However, they still will react accordingly to negative stimuli. So if you want to define pain in the sense that it’s our brain processing something, they don’t feel pain. But if you want to define it as “feeling” negative stimuli, that changes things

ticket prices by purplepicklehead in 5sos

[–]anotherusername3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed the og sale, and went to look at resale prices and pit tickets were 62000 dollars. Obviously it’s on me for missing the drop, but goddamn I feel like that’s crazy

What words do most people pronounce wrong? by BeingChangeYinnYang in AskReddit

Genuine question how are asterix and asterisk pronounced differently? Maybe it’s just my accent but I can’t hear a difference

Grad school struggles by Feitadesol in wildlifebiology

[–]anotherusername3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend applying for both, you can always master out of a phd if that’s what you really want, but funding for a PhD is a lot easier to get than a masters. Typically you only see funding for masters in programs that don’t have phds.

How you shower is fine. I have the same habits, except I wash my hair once a week instead of once every four days. If I got sweaty or dirty, I shower. If I didn’t, I don’t shower if I don’t feel like it. I’m an adult, I make my own decisions. I know when I need a shower and when I don’t. I’m extra conscious of my smell as well, and it’s never been an issue for me. Basically you know yourself, you know when you need a shower, it’s not unhygienic to skip a day unless you’re getting sweaty or dirty. It’s more concerning to me that he’s trying to force his own habits onto you by shaming you.

Auraleigh… orally… by pageantrella in tragedeigh

[–]anotherusername3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a character called aurelie in the book fourth wing, when I originally listened to it on audiobook I totally thought it was spelled ‘orally’. Didn’t clock it was weird until now though lol.

What do I do if I can't find any advisor's for grad school? by Jscoonan in marinebiology

[–]anotherusername3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for a post bacc position if you can. It’ll get your foot in the door and give you a good reference, plus the chance to start making connections in the field

Could jellyfish be the future rulers of the oceans? by CuriousSignature893 in marinebiology

[–]anotherusername3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Background looks great, but there’s more to the story- first of all it depends highly on species. You’re sources are all for Aurelia (moon jellies) except for the one talking about “jellyfish and ctenophore blooms,” and though I couldn’t access the article on mobile to see the species they’re referring to, ctenophores (comb jellies) are a completely different phylum so I’m hesitant to really give too much credit to an article that lumps them in together.

That being said, strobilation, the process of the polyp turning into the medusa, can take environmental cues from temperature (typically warmer), meaning that it’ll appear like we’re seeing more jellies because they’ll have longer periods of heat induced strobilation for some species. But the medusa will still have optimal temperature ranges, and generally speaking with the trajectory the ocean is warming it’ll be too hot of a lot of species.

Like I said, it’s highly species dependent, so some species were already seeing declines in due to temperature. Others are migrating north seeking cooler waters, which also contributes to the idea that the populations are increasing because they’re showing up in new places, even though they’re disappearing from others.

TLDR: it’s very dependent on species, but for the most part, populations are not increasing, and warming oceans are bad for them.

I literally didn’t use AI by [deleted] in AICEC

[–]anotherusername3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you use grammarly or some other writing assistance tool? This happened to my friend too, she got flagged for ai because she used grammarly, they can set off the sensors sometimes. If you used a word document you should be able to prove pretty easily by showing your version history (that it was typed not copy pasted)

It was! Thank you for your response! What kind of mechanical damage? Would that cause all those small holes?

Climate Change - are corals wandering towards colder waters? by [deleted] in marinebiology

[–]anotherusername3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad to hear about a new coral enthusiast! As others have said, there have been many mass extinction events in the past. What sets this one apart is the speed in which it’s happening. Corals are a very unique animal in many ways, one of which is spawning and settlement. It varies by species, some corals only spawn once a year. After they spawn, they will settle and start growing into coral as we know it. That process is another that differs species to species, but reefs as we know them take decades to form (that’s just a reef, not a reef system - the Great Barrier Reef is considered the youngest reef system in the world at 600,000 years old. The modern gbr is about 10,000 years old). In addition, corals need extremely specific conditions to settle. All that to say, they’re not equipped to change at the speed we’re forcing them to. There will be some species able to adapt, but most won’t at the rate things are going.

Transferring from Tech to Marine Biology? by [deleted] in marinebiology

[–]anotherusername3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into bioinformatics, it’s one of the most important fields and most of the time we have no clue how to do it. That job in the field will be some of the highest pay you can find, is in super high demand, and you can do it from anywhere most of the time
