🔬The HABscope, developed by NOAA with funding from NASA, consists of a #microscope with an iPod attached, embedded with artificially intelligent software to identify the swimming pattern of the #phytoplankton Karenia. 🌊 @nuigalway #Marine #Algalbloom bit.ly/2Uu81Di

Our partner institute Scottish Association for Marine Science is deploying a FlowCytobot off Shetland. The device photographs algae and through machine learning can identify certain types. The technology could be a game changer for #HABForecast and #harmfulalgae research.

📢New paper out by @Joanna_Kershaw, Silje-Kristin Jensen et al on toxins from harmful algae in fish from Scottish waters. Access here: tinyurl.com/app/myurls.

We've just finalised & made available all 2019 CPR data! This is a phenomenal achievement; #Covid19 forced many labs to pause sampling efforts, but thanks to support from the intl. shipping community & huge efforts from the CPR Survey team, the Survey continued uninterrupted!

Looking forward to kicking off our biological oceanographic survey of #HABs aboard #RVCelticVoyager We will be focusing on the #PSP causative organism #Alexandrium by microscopy, molecular and toxin analysis, and #Karenia using NOAA Coastal Ocean Science developed #habscope Marine Institute Research Vessels

Thats great The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) Survey MBA - Marine Biological Association to have Prof. Reid to speak on the evolution of the CPR and its datasets to celebrate the last 90 years! Looking forward to it! #CPR90

Still a few places available! Algaculture for Biotechnology: online course, 9-10 Feb 2022 Aimed at students, technicians, early career researchers, industry professionals & algae enthusiasts, covers microalgae biology, culture & biotechnology. Info: tinyurl.com/3nc4uafp

PhD student Ellie Murphy created this amazing, intricate Christmas tree using marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. This model species is used frequently in our labs notably to investigate cellular mechanisms using molecular techniques like crispr-cas9 gene editing MBA - Marine Biological Association

Look at this! Hitchhiking algae. Among the plankton is this copepod with an epizoic diatom bloom growing upon its body. But, what is the relationship? ZEISS Microscopy

Algae can be red, and even a shade of blue. We love algae for lots of reasons, not least that they store CO2! Happy Valentine's Day from SAMS.

Recently published, The Marine #Microbiome, the only scientific book publication on the topic. PRIMROSE researcher Marcos Mateus has contributed a chapter on marine viruses. link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… #ShellfishSafety #HarmfulAlgae
