I wrote a blog post for Springer Nature about the joys, challenges, and fantastic collaboration that is part of creating a global oceanography dataset. Check it out below! UCI OCEANS UCI ESS US GO-SHIP British Oceanographic Data Centre

Really loved getting to virtually visit Alexander Chase and the Jensen Lab Scripps Institution of Oceanography this afternoon! I feel lucky to have gotten great questions and suggestions from an amazing group of marine microbiologists/ecologists/geochemists.

Just a shout-out for the excellent presentations in the OCB summer workshop session 'Bridging the divide between ocean biology and geochemistry' Dr. Alyse A Larkin Dr. Bethanie Edwards Mak Saito Daniele Iudicone Andrew Barton web.whoi.edu/ocb-workshop/o…

We are excited to start #ASLO21. Check out the great work by Dr. Alyse A Larkin ('omics to measure growth), Lucas Ustick (nutrient limitation), @brockml76 (Indian Ocean biogeography), Angie Nguyen (Nfix microdiversity), and UCI OCEANS (Nfx biogeography)

Tomorrow I’m presenting some work from my PhD in the Martiny lab. This was a great enjoyable collaboration (George Hagstrom Dr. Alyse A Larkin Lucas Ustick UCI OCEANS Lomas and Levin) using genomics, modeling and stoichiometry to build a better picture of C:P ratios. Join me if you can!

Interested in what marine microbes are up to? Check out our #OSM22 session on marine microbial activity!! Abstracts due in 2 weeks. JL Weissman @JedFuhrman ASLO UCI OCEANS

If you use in situ, experimental, or theoretical techniques to examine the activity of marine microbial populations we’d love to hear from you! Abstracts due TODAY at 11:59pm EDT. Hope to see you virtually or in person! #OSM22

Heartbreaking to see the #OilSpill environmental disaster. By initiating high resolution sampling we will use cutting edge ‘omics and geochemical techniques to understand West Coast ecosystem responses to the first major oil spill in #OrangeCounty in 30 yrs. UCI ESS UCI OCEANS

Oh hey Melissa Brock and Joana Tavares (she/ they) that’s you two!! Such an awesome feature of all your efforts to understand the #OrangeCountyOilSpill

Two UC Irvine grad students, Joana Tavares (she/ they) and Melissa Brock, responded immediately to the OC oil spill, sampling water at Newport Pier three days a week. Discover their science. #UCIOilSpillScience | UCI ESS | UCI Ecology and Evolutionary Biol | O.C. Register | The Daily Pilot youtu.be/IbW1SCU9Vzk

Fantastic plenary by Pierre Deep Sea at #OSM2022 today! Loved hearing about transformational technologies and, for the first time ever, science where I grew up… Pt Dume!!!

The best thing about being a first-time session organizer is that you get to listen to all the talks you are most excited about in one place!! 😁 Come join JL Weissman @JedFuhrman and I in OB06 tomorrow at 2:30pm EST. #OSM22 #OSM2022

Job alert! The Glassman lab is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar with expertise in bacterial/fungal genomics to be part of a USDA funded project! msafungi.org/postdoctoral-s… #fungi #AcademicTwitter #mushrooms #Genomics #postdocjobs

At the coast, we like to say there are no rivalries in marine sciences. Here’s a throwback story about just one of the many amazing co-LAB-orations between UNC-Chapel Hill & Duke University’s marine labs. uncnewsarchive.unc.edu/campus-updates…

Congrats Dr. Ustick!! Proud to be a coauthor on some of your awesome dissertation chapters. Well done!! Lucas Ustick

Awesome science communication by JL Weissman!!!

My little sister published her first first-author paper! She examined the James Webb Space Telescope’s ability to detect some of the earliest stars in our universe. She is an absolute rock star and I am so proud! mikaela UC San Diego School of Physical Sciences #JWST doi.org/10.3847/1538-3…

Preprint of my recent work with UCI OCEANS and Dr. Alyse A Larkin. We describe a novel clade of Prochlorococcus adapted to low P conditions along with general functional diversity and micro-diversity across the globe. I am excited to finally have this out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
