Thrilled to have started my tenure track at Naturalis @naturalis.bsky.social al this week! Ready to continue my research on seaweed biodiversity, ecology and microbial interactions 🌊🌿🦠 #PhycologyFriday

The end of the year marks the wrap-up of our European Ulva Taxonomy Initiative (EULVA) sampling campaign. We’re thrilled that we collected and received nearly 4,000 samples, covering an impressive range from Svalbard to Marocco and from Georgia to the Azores! sites.google.com/view/eulva

My final PhD chapter is now published in ScienceAdvances! "Low functional change despite high taxonomic turnover characterizes the Ulva microbiome across a 2000-km salinity gradient" www.science.org/doi/full/10.... #PhycologyFriday #seaweeds

Last #PhycologyFriday, I successfully defended my #PhD and became a Doctor! And the good thing is...after 4 years, I still love #seaweeds ;-)

Working hard on the final layout of my #PhD thesis and enjoying the #seaweed fun. Nearly #PhDone!

The 4th chapter of my PhD "The cultivated sea lettuce (Ulva) microbiome: Successional and seasonal dynamics" is now published! Read below: authors.elsevier.com/a/1iexMACeYJ...

Happy #PhycologyFriday! Here's a photo of a fluffy Bellotia eriophorum to remind me of Tasmania's beautiful underwater landscapes, while I prepare the predefence of my PhD thesis next week. #seaweeds

Happy to share our new publication "Non-indigenous seaweeds in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and Macaronesia: a critical synthesis of diversity, spatial and temporal patterns" www.tandfonline.com/eprint/GFRS2...

Just arrived from X and looking forward to a lot of #PhycologyFriday's here! I'm finishing up my PhD thesis in the coming two months, so here's a compilation of my study organism: Ulva. #seaweed
