Great to get together with former Worden Lab members Lilly ⁦Elisabeth Hehenberger⁩ who now has her own group in the Czech Republic, and Cami Poirier now at the Richards Lab ⁦@AncestralState⁩ along with current folks @GEOMAR while at the EMBO workshop

This isn’t a new paper from Broman, Sjostedt, ⁦Jarone Pinhassi⁩ and Dopson, but wanted to share because it’s so interesting!

My lab Systematic Biology Programme is hiring, several positions (two PhDs and one postdoc) available in connection with the European Research Council (ERC) CoG PlastidOrigin. Links to the ads and information here: burki-lab.net/news/we-are-hi… I would greatly appreciate sharing broadly this information, many thanks

Was fun helping the BBC team to produce the footage shown in episode II. We show sea-ice #diatoms (and copepods) attached to ice crystals in a sea-ice chamber. Credits to Robert Utting and Maria Luisa Sánchez Montes from our lab for helping with the diatom cultures! UEA School of Environmental Sciences

Enjoyed working this week with next gen scientists in our GEOMAR_en marine micro practical with Ute Hentschel examining the great plate anomaly via microscopy, flow and plating! Wow the non marine test plate of a public scooter handle was scary! (Marine were beautiful 😉)

My editorial is kicking off a new series of perspective papers Journal of Phycology to provide insights into the latest developments of algal models for addressing fundamental questions in #biology. We will have ca. 2 papers per issue in volume 59 (2023). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jp…

Just here at Logan after immigration detained our student and wouldn’t even let us have contact, even though she has the same entry authorization as another student she was traveling with.

We will re-advertise this #PhD project. Project start date: October 2023. Get in touch if you are interested in polar #diatoms, #metals, #climate change and #evolution. This time, applications only from U.K. residents will be considered (Not my rules). #Arctic #SeaIce UEA School of Environmental Sciences

Cool talk by Vesma Grujcic at the Minisymposium on microeukaryote diversity and ecology in Uppsala Sweden!

If you missed this beautiful study make sure you take a look!

BBSRC funded #PhD Studentship available in my group! Please share. NRPDTP UEA School of Environmental Sciences The role of light-driven proton pumps🔽(Microbial Rhodopsins) in #algae In collaboration with Sophien Kamoun Angela Falciatore Shiqiang Gao biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/projects/the-r…

Excited about #polar research, bioinformatics and machine learning? Come and do your #PhD with us as part of MOSAiC Expedition in collaboration with Vincent Moulton Fanny Monteiro Richard Leggett @ARIES_DTP UEA School of Environmental Sciences Closing date: 10th January 2024 aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/m…

Check out our 'Behind the paper' blog post on our #Researchpaper Nature Microbiology on how #microalgae can switch between photosynthesis and a light-driven #rhodopsin proton pump to support growth in nutrient-deprived #oceans. #sciencenews #sciencetwitter microbiologycommunity.nature.com/posts/some-mic…

New issue of Nature Microbiology featuring our #research on how #microalgae can switch between photosynthesis and a light-driven #rhodopsin proton pump under #ocean iron-limitation, accompanied by a great News & Views article by @BejaLab INOUE lab. (ISSP, Univ. Tokyo) #sciencenews

I published something not related to plastid evolution!! Diving deep into the transcriptional changes of a marine green alga during nutrient limitation, I found some surprises involving tRNA modifications and codon usage doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

🌊Exciting News! Dive into the wonders of #OceanObservations with "Journey with Ocean Observers", our comic book for young minds! Edited by OceanOPS & Euro-Argo ERIC within #OceanObservers Thanks @EuroSea for making this educational journey possible oceanobservers.org/Ocean-Observer…

Please #RT! Exciting polar diving course organised in March at Kilpisjärvi University of Helsinki in Lapland by the Finnish Scientific Diving Academy.
