📣 Don’t forget to sign up to our first Quantifying Ecology webinar! 📣 We join Dr James Orr in collab with @bes-aquaticgroup.bsky.social for: ”Variability of community-level responses contains information about ecosystem functioning and global change impacts” 5th Aug @ 9am BST bit.ly/44SzlwG

A comment I wrote for you is now online at @natcomms.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Oh, oh, it says "time travel will likely remain forever off the table in our universe" with a citation, so read it maybe? (am I doing the click-bait thing right? 🥲).

The #marinelife imagery you need for today.

Happy 18th birthday ggplot2! #rstats

When @bradtakei.bsky.social and I first got together, we never imagined we’d one day celebrate Pride openly, let alone post about it on the internet. But here we are, joy and all. Happy Pride, everyone! Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and marching forward (glitter optional, but encouraged). 🌈✨

Today the One Ocean Science Conference #OOSC kicks off, followed by the UN Ocean Conference #UNOC3 next week. We asked some of the HIFMB scientists who will be attending the summits about their activities at the conference and their expectations. #OceanDecade #marinebiodiversity

Next week at #PalaeoPERCS we will be joined by Eileen Straube (‪@eileenstraube.bsky.social‬‬) from the University of Bayreuth, Germany. Sign up here: paleopercs.com/participate/ (1/4)

Our icebreaker Polarstern has left Bremerhaven for the Arctic. The first destination is the “AWI House Garden”.🪼🌱 In this deep-sea observatory between Spitsbergen and Greenland, the 52 scientists will investigate how the ecosystems of the Arctic deep sea react to climate change.

If anyone eligible is willing to come to Brazil for a postdoc in our lab (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships) feel free to reach out! euraxess.ec.europa.eu/worldwide/la...

Proud and happy to be part of this. Congratulations @marumunibremen.bsky.social !

Throwback to our 2013 research cruise (LMG 13-12) where we found this gigantic ctenophore in a plankton tow near Margaurite Bay on the Peninsula in #Antarctica. 🧪🌎🦑🇦🇶🐧

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness 😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡

The planning for the HIFMB Symposium on Functional Marine Biodiversity (June 17+18) is entering the busy phase. Today we would like to introduce our speakers from Session 1 “Framing global biodiversity for policy”. More information and free registration at hifmb.de/symp25

Word of the day is ‘beek’ (13th century): to bask in the pleasurable warmth of the sun. Also available as a noun, as in ‘I took a wonderful beek today’.

This gull is 100% sure he’s the new pope. Not a doubt in my mind.

This week I was at MARUM for a quick visit and look, it’s so cute ✨🥹 PLANKTON RULES 14/10 no notes (I never once complained about forams being so abundant and sticking to every other zooplankton in some samples, I promise 🫰

Today my office was in Wilhelmshaven, where I joined the seminar discussions from the Plankton Ecology lab. Sun was sunning and nothing beats the coast smells ✨🥰 #depressioncured #vitDmagic (you’d be surprised how little I get to see the ocean as a marine scientist

"paper has 3 pages, but supplementary material has 51" has the same energy as me trying to pack everything I bought in a single small bag at the supermarket because no sir, I will not buy a new one

Happy new Lorde for those who celebrate btw

PANGAEA is working to rescue data from the US! Many datasets - e.g. from NOAA - are being decommissioned in May. PANGAEA has opened its archive to safeguard these valuable resources. "If you become aware of any endangered datasets, please don't hesitate to contact us. We ❤️ data!" www.pangaea.de

Join us online for our second seminar this Thursday 1pm AEST. Akshit Goyal @akshitg.bsky.social (ICTS) will present: "Predicting Ecosystem Responses to Perturbations via a Geometric Approach" Sign up to receive the zoom link forms.gle/XzypgbUp53fW... NB. Time changes in SE Aus from last month!

We offer a 5-year research position in the #PlanktonEcology lab in Wilhelmshaven. Are you interested in empirically testing ecological concepts? We offer a stimulating scientific environment, experimental facilities & support to establish an independent research profile uol.de/en/job/postd...

Nice weather should be illegal during pollen season.

5th HIFMB symposium: Your ticket to talks, discussions, early career program, art and more. Registration is free of charge. ➡️ www.hifmb.de/symp25 #marinebiodiversity @hillebr1.bsky.social @ibaums.bsky.social @thilogross.bsky.social @merenbey.bsky.social

In the last weeks: - I passed my PhD Viva (subject to minor corrections) - Took part in an incredible workshop on palaeoecology - Turned my brain into mush - Have pinned so many papers to read, I fear my computer will quit (earned Guess that's a great start of my postdoc and life as an ECR 🫣🥳🤔

“on Wednesdays we wear pink”

If you are interested in a postdoc opportunity in Europe, I'd suggest you to consider the EU Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship: ec.europa.eu/info/funding... If you are into marine microbial ecology and evolution, I'd love to support your application (see more at merenlab.org). E-MAIL ME NOW! :)

Some sanity amidst chaos 🇧🇷👏

Has anyone tried unplugging the US and plugging it back in

An excellent letter by Dennis Hazelett: www.nature.com/articles/s41... And below is my attempt to motivate people in my group and others elsewhere to read it. Putting it here as well in case it may work on you, too :p

Mike spotted this before the rest of us. 🫡 Publications from 2025 are shared more on Bluesky than on X/Twitter.

doing some studying on forams, and came across the concept of "expatriation" and I think it's adorable
