Man standing near lecture showing a beautiful electron microscopy image of phage infecting SAR11. He carried a genomes as great books analogy through his talk - this slide is called “War and Peace (SAR11 prophage)”

Great seminar by Bob Morris @cmarinescience.bsky.social today! @cninaphore.bsky.social and I are lucky to be collaborating with him on the hunt for SUP05 phage #NSFfunded #phagesky 🦠🌊

Electron micrograph of two phage infecting a host cell side-by-side, with hearts between them

Do you love phage? I have an opening for a postdoc in my lab at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science (@cmarinescience.bsky.social) looking at interactions between marine phage and iron, which is an important limiting trace metal in the oceans (1/5) 🧵#phagesky 🦠🌊

Image of the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis under the microscope. The dinoflagellate is heart shaped and the chloroplasts are clearly visible around the edges of the cell.

Excited to share our new mSphere paper describing ssRNA viruses associated with Karenia brevis harmful algal blooms in southwest Florida in mSphere led by Jean Lim - a 🧵(1/10) 🧪🦠🌊 #MicroSky #ProtistsOnSky #USFCMS @asm.org @cmarinescience.bsky.social journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....

This is a super cool science story, but maybe also a deeper message for current events… Even though the light is much dimmer in the past few weeks, we need to survive and be ready to thrive when even a small bit returns! Channel your inner Arctic phytoplankton! 🧪

Hi friends! I’m Nina and I’m a lab tech and soon-to-be PhD student in bio oceanography! My main interest is marine viruses, and I currently study their host interactions and role in nitrogen cycling. My research has also focused on virus interactions in seagrass and genetic barcoding of fish eggs🦠🧪🌊
