Today we remember Jane Goodall, who inspired a generation to protect wildlife and wild places, turning careful observation into lasting conservation.
“A 'tireless advocate' for the protection of our natural world'”- Jane Goodall Institute
The future of the ocean begins with our voice!
Join us for an inspiring public session with international researchers on a journey through tropical reefs to the deep sea and Antarctica. Discover their incredible biodiversity, the challenges they face, and the solutions to protect the ocean.
📢 Only 7 days left!
Don’t miss your chance to join the World Sponge Conference in Vila do Conde, Portugal 🇵🇹

Collecting sponges to complement my heatwave study.
Hoping to catch a real marine heatwave, but the strong mistral winds cooled things down fast. Great for the sponges, not ideal for my thermal stress data!

Sponge endobionts
In 2021 (just after I found out I was pregnant), we flew to Crete to test what shapes the diversity in sponges as living hotels.
Do isolated sponges host more guests?
Four years (and a toddler) later, our Single Hotel Hypothesis paper is out!

ATLASea has just launched a new sampling campaign in one of the most iconic sites of marine biodiversity.
For the next 10 days, our team of researchers will be working around the #Endoume_Marine_Station in Marseille to collect samples of marine species from the surrounding area.
The Endoume marine station at Marseille, from the sea.

We have started yesterday a 2-weeks mission à Endoume marine station, to collect marine species individuals for @atlasea.bsky.social !
The perfect place for for the collection, identification and preparation of marine species samples to be sequenced... 🦐🦞🪸🦀⭐🪱🧬
📸 ATLASea Mission – Day 4 - photography
Each selected specimen is individually photographed in the photo room by 3 dedicated teams.
🗂️ Images are paired with species sheets + unique ATLASea & MNHN labels to ensure full data traceability.
Next stop: the dissection room!

J'ai été invité hier avec Line le Gall sur la chaîne YouTube de l'UMR IMBE pour le 3ème épisode à propos de la mission de collecte en cours à la station marine d'Endoume pour @atlasea.bsky.social

The #ATLSea project: a #France2030 mission to sequence marine life from every coastline. Collecting invertebrates off the coast of Marseille - from sponges to sea slugs. ATLASea is building an incredible database one genome at a time. 🐚🦐 #OceanGenome #Biodiversity
