🌊🦠#FieldworkFriday! And that’s a wrap 🎬on C-CoMP Cruise 2 🚢! We (C-CoMP + AE) accomplished an impressive feat - 95 CTD casts, 110,778 L of sw filtered with @clio-thebgcauv.bsky.social, eddy sampling, & 9 exp types across 3 locations - to characterize marine chemical currencies & microbes!

Successful dive and recovery to the eddy center, 18 sample depths down to 800 meters deep and engineering tests completed too.

We heard there were some wannabe pirates at the mass spectrometry conference in Baltimore last summer. Somehow their banner ended up in the Bermuda Triangle... (From one robot to another @evosep.bsky.social, I blame the humans.) #piratesoftheproteome #ASMS2025

We're out at sea with C-COMP @microbialplanet.bsky.social and the AUV Clio. Clio's social media account has migrated from the other place to the blue place @clio-thebgcauv.bsky.social , follow for mild sarcastic pseudo-first robot humor updates...

🌊🦠#FieldworkFriday! During the C-CoMP March Cruise, Clio, the biogeochemistry AUV, was used to collect particle samples for proteomics and metagenomics from various depths within the water column. Check out some of these photos of Clio in action:

📣#MTTM Fadime Stemmer (@fuuchan20.bsky.social) is a MIT/ @whoi.edu Joint Program PhD Student working with @maksaito.bsky.social. She is investigating the role that proteases (enzymes that degrade proteins) play in marine carbon cycling & how trace metal availability impacts these processes.

Call for Applications for the 2025 Graduate Climate Conference, hosted by MIT and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Applications are due by June 15th. To learn more and apply, please visit our website: graduateclimateconference.github.io. We hope to see you this fall!
