Exciting times ahead: Beginning of the month I joined the @NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research as a tenure-track scientist! 🎊 Looking forward to continue my academic journey on fundamental and applied phycology at this fantastic institution! 🥳😍

Israel just banned UNRWA, the UN Palestinian refugee agency, from operating in the West Bank and Gaza. In the midst of a debilitating famine. This is a broader attack on the UN and multilateral legal institutions. 🧵 bbc.com/news/articles/… #Gaza #Genocide #Nakba

In Trump's heart there is no curiosity, no wonder, no kindness, no compassion, no lightness of spirit; only ego, rage, resentment, impulsiveness and cruelty. You are better than him. He does not deserve your vote.

Detailed demographic studies of marine foundation species are needed, esp at species range edges, to understand responses to warming and other changes. In our new ms we quantified popn structure of Laminaria ochroleuca at leading range edge in SW UK. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I am so stoked that my MRes project has been published! Many thanks to Dan Smale, Nathan King, AndyFoggo and the BEECH team at MBA - Marine Biological Association for their invaluable support ❤️ nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/oi…

🎉 New paper out! 🪸🌊 Using rocky reefs as a model and a new organising framework, we show heterogeneity effects depend on: 1) how heterogeneity is generated and measured: 2) the traits of responding organisms; and 3) environmental stress John Griffin Royal Society Publishing 1/7 🧵

I was asked about my opinion on this recent study into #MECFS and I wanted to share here as well. First and foremost, sincere congratulations to the research team for some stellar work. I will never stop cheering for groups that are working to uncover the biological 1/

Getting fired for quoting him directly. The fact that the American government and the media in this country have gone on an all-out suppression blitz for anyone who doesn’t praise and lionize a bigot really shows how dystopian it’s all become.

A UN commission of inquiry has confirmed what was already clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. For nearly two years we’ve witnessed the deliberate slaughter of civilians, starvation of an entire population, and the systematic destruction of hospitals and essential

I can't stop thinking about 1 sentence in today's UN report regarding Israel's genocide in Gaza. "Israeli security forces shot at & killed civilians, including children who were holding makeshift white flags. Some children, including toddlers, were shot in the head by snipers.”

Le projet #Paleocore, c’est une enquête avec 124 carottes sédimentaires prélevées à travers l'Europe. 👉 Objectif : savoir si des faits historiques majeurs, (Tchernobyl, l'industrialisation, l’essor des pesticides...) ont pu bouleverser la santé des écosystèmes marins côtiers.
