The Tara Pacific program involved a two-year continuous scientific expedition at sea to reveal new facets of coral reef biodiversity in the Pacific Ocean. This Collection highlights research published from this ambitious project. go.nature.com/42j0Dbb

press release by Universität Konstanz from first results of #TaraPacific expedition, exiting things to come! Fondation Tara Océan Tara Oceans Scientific entire dataset is #OpenAccess

Participated in my first #TaraPacific meeting this month in Nice. Lots of new ideas for analyses and a great example for collaborative science!

When work follows you wherever you go, even on vacation in Greece... ⛵️ Tara Océan art exhibition at the Fish & Olive Gallery in Halki, Naxos.

..almost at the end of #SequAna core facility's "how-to-sequence&assemble-a-genome-in-a-week" course, a resounding success. Training the next gen of biology data scientists, see more of you next year :) kudos to Abdoallah Sharaf who pretty much ran the whole show! Universität Konstanz

Lovely to do ECRS 2024 with the great group at the Christian R Voolstra lab! @unikonstanz Marlen Schlotheuber Luigi Colin Kim Mayer Melanie Dörr Hannah Manns Alyssa Bell & Congrats to Anna Fiesinger on winning best poster!

I love Thursday morning surprises: we got the cover of the August Issue of Nature Reviews Microbiology for our review on coral microbiomes. Thanks to all co-authors!!
