If someone would’ve told me 3 days ago that we’d have Manu Prakash checking samples from Leeuwenhoek’s pond using a Foldscope at EMBL I’d be like yeah right. Inspirational is an understatement 😭 Gautam Dey let’s join the community in Heidelberg :)

I let my very creative PhD student soraya zwahlen design the poster of our official first « beer session » and I regret nothing. Designing figures will be a piece of cake !

Beautiful work and thread ofcourse!🥳

Fresh from press! So happy to see the 2nd big post piece wt @vardilab coming out in Nature Communications. Wonderful collaboration with Matti Gralka and all the AQUACOSM team. The twitter thread from a year ago is still pretty valid but for the peer-reviewed => nature.com/articles/s4146…

New colleagues, new ideas ! Very excited to explore interactions between plankton and the modern version of « abiotic factors »: chemical pollution ; with R. Jacoby from the @Zimmermann_Lab and our student soraya zwahlen EMBL. A teaser below ⬇️

After many months of preparation, (very) tight deadlines and discussions, we are so SO excited to finally start sampling with #TREC. 1.5 yrs along European coasts to explore the land-sea interface with > 70 institutions. Scientific collaboration is a true gift EMBL Fondation Tara Océan

The EMBLtrec expedition during its super stop PiE-UPV/EHU in the Spanish TV. 1st regionally, then at National level. The visit of Tara schooner Fondation Tara Océan for Science outreach @itsasmusem in Bilbao has been the excuse. Excellent Science wonderful people! It is being AMAZING!
