Such statements undermine funding efforts for large scale oceanographic projects. I am sure Trump would lovet it...

The following statement is utterly misleading "The cost of this venture pales in comparison to running a scientific research vessel, while yielding far more information..." A bunch of random measurements will never replace a carefully planned cruise with a very large number of metadata.

It was so nice and so fulfilling to interact with you both...

Very nice led by Clarence and Adriana...

ASM is so US centered... mostly American authors, a few European and no one else from South America, Africa or Asia... a real shame.

We have contributed to a paper led by Kenneth Timmis on the murky world of predatory journals:

We have an A in house with a brillant master thesis defence of Sandra Irén!!! First master student of the GEEK lab in Norway! 😍 Thanks to @maritbjorbaekmo.bsky.social and Inger Skrede for a delightful & constructive discussion. #protists #proudadvisor 🔬🧬👩‍💻 @biovitenskap.bsky.social

Congratulations Puri... Is the speech available anywhere ?

Deep origin of eukaryotes outside Heimdallarchaeia within Asgardarchaeota - Nature Ancestral reconstruction together with molecular dating of the last Asgard archaea and eukaryote common ancestor suggest that eukaryotes arose from the fusion of a H2-consuming archaeal host and a H2-...

Despite 150+ years of Radiolaria diversity research, we have just scratched the surface. Nearly half of Radiolaria diversity might be naked hiding in plain sight! We unveiled the diversity and evolution of Radiolaria beyond "the stars of the ocean"
doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

Extant diversity, biogeography, and evolutionary history of Radiolaria Sandin et al. reveal a vast, overlooked molecular diversity of Radiolaria, likely skeleton-less, contrasting the traditional view of their star-shaped skeleton. Such comprehensive Radiolaria diversity...

Prochlorococcus is also very difficult to grow and still it has been very early on deposited to culture collections.

And still, most of the isolated strains have never made it to public culture collections. A blatant example of unFAIR science...

#OTD in 1868 Elsie Sexton was. Born Alice Wilkins Tring, Elsie studied at the Truro School of Art before moving to Plymouth. Through her husband, Louis, she met Director of the MBA Dr Edgar Allen and began illustrating for his scientific publications, eventually publishing her own research in 1908.

One of the plus to live in Paris... lots and full of people. Less than 50 years ago for sure but still.

Spot the microbes! I am looking fwd to grabbing a copy of this book but the tree of life does not look like this. Animals, plants, and mushrooms are almost invisible on the ToL. Sorry for this rant on publication day, congrats on your book

Expansion microscopy micrograph of the choanoflagellate Choanoeca flexa, vaguely evocative of a cactus. Red = tubulin, green = actin, blue = DNA

Same with yellow = lipids (BODIPY)

A dream come true: the first expansion microscopy images of C. flexa 🤩 Generated by Mylan & Uzuki who learned from the best (@hiralshah.bsky.social @gautamdey.bsky.social @dudinlab.bsky.social). We will learn so much from these!

The only Pope to have ever mentioned plankton- he will be missed! Obviously also Advocate for protecting migrants, homeless, vicitims of senseless wars.
