Why is the sea salty? How is plankton made? How many species of plankton are there? Curious children around the world had their questions about the ocean answered by a consortium of scientists, incl. our own @DavidGJOHNS1 - read the full booklet here bit.ly/3P7jDqf

A great time was had 😎

Today we celebrate #worldmicrobiomeday The perfect occasion to discover the work of AtlantECO about the Atlantic Ocean Microbiome. Since the beginning of the program, AtlantECO has collected more than 30,000 samples to help better understand the microbiome.

Excited for the #MicrobialDiversity course Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) this summer! Making my way from South Africa and so excited for the opportunity. Looking forward to bringing skills back to UCT MARIS, Biological Sci UCT and UCT Research 🌊🧫🦠
