Hey, just putting this out there again - if you want to learn about freshwater #redalgae l think this can help out! If you have any questions about these organisms, I am so happy to discuss! #phycologyfriday

The last days many samples of Benthic cyanobacterial mats on the coral reefs of Curaçao were collected by Dail Laughinghouse Dail Laughinghouse and David Bertholdt vivalgae and me to check the diversity of the mats. Very nice collaboration!!

SAVE THE DATE We have started the ball rolling for the 37th SIL Congress, that will take place in Foz do Iguaçu, in Brazil, from May 5th to 9th, 2024. Follow us and keep up with all the updates #Limnology #SIL #SIL2024 #SIL101

#CyanoSeq v1.2 is now available! zenodo.org/record/7864137

CyanoSeq is a curated database of #cyanobacteria 16S rRNA sequences for taxonomic assignment of metabarcoding reads, and can also be used for #cyano systematics etc

Our (with Dail Laughinghouse and vivalgae) manuscript was recently accepted in Journal of Phycology here doi.org/10.1111/jpy.13…

The 37th SIL Congress was launched! One year from now, on May 5th, 2024, we will be together once again for SIL Congress 101, in Foz do Iguaçu, in southern Brazil. We will meet there! #Sil #SILcongress #SilBrazil #Sil2024 #Limnology #Sil101

#Physicians: Be prepared for cyanobacterial blooms (blue-green algae) this summer. They can make people sick when they spend time in or near water like lakes and rivers. Check out CDC’s Physician Reference Card to learn the signs and symptoms: bit.ly/3A60Brg

Must visit to see working waterfront (and have authentic Greek food), look at those sponges! One of Florida’s hundreds of specialty crops supported by ⁦Florida Sea Grant⁩ and ⁦UF/IFAS⁩ research and extension

🎉 Congrats Dr. Dail Laughinghouse, he has been tenured and promoted to Associate Professor. He is a broadly trained phycologist working with both basic and applied algal research from Tropical to Polar Regions. #IFASResearch #UFatWork #FLREC

.The Wall Street Journal names UF the #1 public university in the country — best in preparing students for post-grad success. 🙌

Floridians are conditioned to hate #Algae. But to fight against issues such as #RedTide, you need a team that loves it. At UF/IFAS Fort Lauderdale REC, Dail Laughinghouse & vivalgae have curated 1000+ strains, some with the potential to impact #Cancer treatments, and others as a source of
