What was supposed to do: writing a talk.
What I actually did: figure out that 'bananas' is a portmanteau for 'good pineapple' in French.

Ever wondered how trophic interactions affect how phytoplankton adapt to warming? Check out David Anderson’s #ASLO24 talk on Wednesday (9:30 am, session CS26B).Β Stoichiometry, grazing, temperature, evolution, beautifully parameterized theory – something for everyone! davidmerrillanderson.weebly.com

Know any queer high school students in CT, MA, or RI that might be interested in a free one day Queer Science conference? This is organized by queer scientists (like me!) for future queer scientists.

I am recruiting a PhD student to work on microbial communities in Arctic ecosystems. This is a great opportunity for someone interested in combining field, lab, and computational approaches. If you are interested, message me for more information.

Our group in Geneva has a 2-year postdoc position to classify phytoplankton from images and analyse time series. We are specifically looking for experience with machine learning / image classification, not necessarily in ecology/phytoplankton.

Needing to move is a huge barrier to broadening representation in the sciences Science will be more inclusive and equitable when we stop expecting people to uproot their lives every few years

Imagine our profession was built so that you could advance your career without moving all the time. Isn't this a huge piece of the equity and access problem? Yes, it is.

I think this is fitting as my first post on this platform. This is huge news for me - it took a long time to get here - but it is finally here! My first first-author paper!
