Spotted yesterday! A red tide near Del Mar mooring quickly moved landward. When the phytoplankton 𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘺𝘦𝘥𝘳𝘢 form dense blooms you can see pigments that give off a reddish color. Keep an eye out for bioluminescence this evening!

A #RedTide has been spotted off the coast of San Diego–so what does that mean for #bioluminescence? Scripps oceanographer and UCSD Engineering assistant professor Drew Lucas answers your questions about red tides, electric blue waves, and more. 🌊✨

New paper out in Nature Communications today! Short-term acidification promotes diverse iron acquisition and conservation mechanisms in upwelling-associated phytoplankton nature.com/articles/s4146…

Grateful to have presented my work at the International Conference of Harmful Algae this week in Hiroshima, Japan! What a great week learning more about HABs and biotoxins🔬 #ICHA2023 ISSHA

Excited to share my research on harmful algal blooms (#HABs) and their impact on marine ecosystems!🌊🔬 Thanks for featuring my work Scripps Institution of Oceanography! Check out the video to learn about fieldwork exploring Pseudo-nitzschia HABs. #PhDResearch #MarineScience #ScienceCommunication

Move over titin... introducing PKZILLA as the largest protein in life that makes one the largest nonpolymeric compounds in biology, the marine polyether toxin prymnesin. Congrats to Tim Fallon, PhD @[email protected] & Vikram Shende and rest of team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

.UC San Diego has been awarded $7.35 million in U.S. National Science Foundation and NIH funding for the Scripps Center for Oceans and Human Health, led by faculty member Bradley Moore. The program seeks to understand marine contaminants and nutrients in a changing climate: bit.ly/3Q4uqks
