This paper originated from a simple idea: Since we want to study SAR11 growth physiology, let’s look at how one SAR11 bacterium becomes two SAR11 bacteria, inspired by the quote from François Jacob, “The dream of a bacterium: to produce two bacteria”.

New paper out in PNAS!!! 🎉

Do more plasmid copies mean faster evolution?

Bacteria can anticipate the seasons: Photoperiodism in cyanobacteria Photoperiodic time measurement is the ability of plants and animals to measure differences in day versus night length (photoperiod) and use that information to anticipate critical seasonal transformat...

Incredibly proud to share this work, almost 6 years in the making, out this month in Science!!! 🎇

We've known for over a century that eukaryotes of all kinds anticipate the seasons (think: hibernation, flowering, reproduction!), but what about bacteria?🦠

The 2020 lockdown has steered me towards thinking a lot about the flow cytometry, as this was the only lab equipment that I mastered by then. It is a special experience that on the day my paper launches, I am at UTMSI helping @suleles.bsky.social set up the new flow cytometry (and meet cute Maya!).

A promotional graphic for an online event titled “Balancing Hope with Hurdles: How to Cover Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal.” The headline is in large bold text, with "How to Cover Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal" in bright red. Below is a white box with black text that reads: “Register via Zoom: ow.ly/H3fu50WWJhX.”

The event date and time are listed: “October 7, 2025, 1 PM (EST).” A description below states: “The Metcalf Institute and Solutions Journalism Network present a virtual, moderated training and Q&A to support journalists interested in telling nuanced stories on both the potential and obstacles of ocean-based climate solutions.”

Two circular headshots of speakers appear on the right:

Top: Jamie Palter, smiling with long blonde hair and glasses, wearing a red top. Text box reads: “Jamie Palter, University of Rhode Island.”

Bottom: David Ho, wearing glasses and a collared shirt, with text: “David Ho, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.”

At the bottom left is the Solutions Journalism Network logo in red and gray. At the bottom right is the Metcalf Institute logo in white, with the tagline “University of Rhode Island · Metcalf Institute.” The background is gray with a diagonal coral-colored section on the right edge.

Are you a journalist covering climate solutions? @jaimepalter.bsky.social and I have some advice for sharing these stories without hype, by balancing potential and challenges.
