Busy days at #itrs2025!
Several team members are in #brest discussing #microclimate, #ecology, #biodiversity and many + topics with old and new colleagues!
@catiamonteiro.bsky.social @fplima.bsky.social @manoanalu.bsky.social @biointeractproj.bsky.social
And it’s a wrap! We presented a poster (awarded the 3rd prize), delivered 6 talks, 2 of them keynotes and had many scientific chats 😊🔬🥼 thank you #itrs2025 until next time! @fplima.bsky.social @manoanalu.bsky.social @catiamonteiro.bsky.social

A few days ago Luís Pereira defended his PhD thesis in a memorable way. Congratulations Luís. We are very proud of you. @coastalwarming.bsky.social @electricbluecrl.bsky.social. @dansmale1.bsky.social and @trinebekkby.bsky.social were the main opponents. We had a great time!

Spring tides in the Spring (pun intended) mean that our entire team is busy in the field. This past couple of days we were simultaneously working in Norway, Spain and several locations in Portugal. @coastalwarming.bsky.social

Our most recently activity with the entire team: a safety training session on the field. We discussed communication, planning, prevention, emergency actions and equipment. It was a success!

🚨 New publication 🚨
Excited to share our latest work comparing DNA metabarcoding and morphological methods for assessing intertidal turf and foliose algae diversity! 🧬🔬

Returning home after an amazing field trip to Goa with Rui Seabra, Fraddry D’Souza and Lalat Hindu. We deployed temperature sensors from @electricbluecrl.bsky.social and conducted biodiversity surveys. @coastalwarming.bsky.social

Our open-source Intertidal Environmental Chamber is out now in Methods in Ecology and Evolution!
It’s a system to realistically simulate the complex tidal and thermal dynamics of intertidal habitats. Proud of our team at @electricblue.bsky.social!
Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/2041...
I am proud to share that I won a PostDoctoral fellowship from Fundación ”la Caixa”!
Happy to dive into biological interactions at BIOPOLIS-CIBIO for the next 3 years!

🚨 New publication 🚨
Our team members @fplima.bsky.social, @catiamonteiro.bsky.social and Rui Seabra participated in this horizon scan for #arctic #coastal #biodiversity
This is the first publication of the international and multidisciplinary ARCBON - arc-bon.com
#threats #knowledgegaps #shorelines
Have a look at this opinion paper on the Arctic biodiversity, lead by J. Thyrring and M. Sejr, and available today at TREE. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to have participated in this discussion.

US, what the actual hell is wrong with you?

Right in front of our eyes, we’re seeing the destruction of the US, and the beginning of a dictatorship run by a career criminal & his enablers, drawn from the worst among us. Nobody seems to be taking effective action against this, while many calmly accept this fate like lambs led to the slaughter.

The tide is the lowest «ever». Air pressure and winds are on my side 🌕💨💪🏼The temp started at -9C, but now just -5C 🥵🥰 A perfect day in the intertidal rockweed beds, downloading temperature data and photographing plots for biodiv studies together with

On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a huge shout-out to my wife @sergiavelho.bsky.social, a brilliant scientist, a dedicated mum of three, and an inspiration. Here she is working in the lab while pregnant with our first daughter: a scene that repeated twice more!

Today marks the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, and we take this opportunity to start our account here!
Apple Maps is still showing Gulf of Mexico though

I never thought anyone would actually get into that bandwagon but here we are. This is a printscreen from Google maps.
