Amazing collaborative work with the Yeh lab @stanfordpress.bsky.social Attached image from @Sarah_Frail @carnegiescience.bsky.social
๐ฃ ๐ฃ Wondering what allow diatoms to grow in the ever-changing environment ๐ฆ๏ธof the ocean๐?
Check out or latest work where we develop genome-wide CRISPR screen to unravel the genes๐งฌ critical for diatoms under dynamic light conditionsโ๏ธ๐ฅ๏ธ๐
Spoiler alert: it is (almost) not about NPQ ๐ but CEF ๐ซฃ
Excited to have been invited to the Annual Symposium of the Botanical Society of Japan ๐๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐พ๐ฟ
So glad to have given a course on photosynthesis โ๏ธ last week at the @szndohrn.bsky.social , it's very humbling to see such a historical place for marine biology ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ
Glad to see the recognition of Vincent Boudreau's amazing work ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ and to have taken part in the journey โบ๏ธ

Part of the lab was at York last week for the CCM11 conference! Amazing science, wonderful people as always ๐ฅฐ
Silly artwork alert ๐จfrom our favorite model organisms ๐ซฃ๐ (work of Phaeodactylum photosynthesis in dynamic light to be released very soon btw ๐)
๐จ Weโre hiring! The Burlacot Lab @carnegiescience.bsky.social is recruiting a Postdoc to study how photosynthetic electron flows power COโ fixation in algae ๐ฑ๐งซ
Cutting-edge microscopy + biophysics + sustainability ๐

It was a lot of fun to have @dstrenkert.bsky.social from @msudoeplantlab.bsky.social visit us and present her research on Ferredoxins last week ๐ฅฐ @carnegiescience.bsky.social
Energy trade-offs under fluctuating light govern bioenergetics and growth in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Cool to see today the work of @noodlyscientist.bsky.social featured at the @stanfordenergy.bsky.social symposium ๐ ๐๐ฆ

๐ขOut today! Our work discovering that bioenergetic ๐homeostasis in dynamic environments is periodicity-dependent โ๏ธ๐ฅ๏ธ๐ค๏ธโ

We show that maintaining a healthy photosynthetic cell ๐requires mechanisms with diverse bandwidths of importance ๐

๐ Sneak pick on our soon publicly available discovery that photosynthetic cells maintain bioenergetics homeostasis in a light periodicity-dependent mannerโ ๐ฅ๏ธ๐ค๏ธโ๏ธ we reveal that each electron flow has their own bandwidth of physiological importance. Stay tuned๐
This week we did our annual retreat at the beautiful foghouse (without the fog ๐ฅณ). Glad to have such a great team โค๏ธ @carnegiescience.bsky.social
๐ขOn this Friday's episode of The Green Light ๐Graham Peers, Associate Professor @colorado.edu joins us to discuss his journey from oceanography to algal biology, exploring how microalgae, especially diatoms, use unique adaptations to perform photosynthesis.๐
