Carolina Jativa, guest PhD student in IceLab from @ceabcsic.bsky.social, gave a talk on Friday last week on the effect of storm events on the metabolic activity in a Mediterranean headwater stream. She's also heading to IceLab Camp tomorrow along with 19 other early career researchers.

PAPER - Do leaf mitochondria react in different cell types similarly to carbon starvation? Olivier Keech's group show that mitochondria proteomes from mesophyll, vascular and guard cells differ especially under stress. Read more in @pplplantarum.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1111/ppl....

My latest paper is now out in Limnology and Ocenography Letters @aslo.org, titled "Emerging patterns of CO2 : O2 dynamics in rivers and their link to ecosystem carbon processing". It is open access, so go read! I am mostly proud of this figure, which I spent a lot of hours figuring out how to do it

10 days left to apply to join IceLab as a #multidisciplinary #postdoc! Are you interested in using your computational skills to address important life science questions? There is a project for you here! 👇 #complexity #complexsystems

Can we push ecosystems away from the brink of collapse? According to @ricardsole.bsky.social we can help life do just that with an interdisciplinary, #complexsystems approach guiding ecosystems towards recovery. Watch IceLab's 15-year anniversary public lecture: www.umu.se/en/icelab/ne...

What if we were as open as kids when dreaming up scientific questions to dive into? What if we spent part of our research time reading random books and talking about them? Well, we do that in IceLab! We read Randall Munroe's excellent book What If? Our thoughts: www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-i...

🧪🌾NEWS - They were looking for unknown genes and found OPENER, a gene without which seeds stop growing at a very early stage after fertilisation.🔬 Now they showed that it is part of a protein complex involved in establishing protein production in plants. Read more here: www.upsc.se/about-upsc/n...

Postdoc position in landscape limnology and methane cycling in Arctic lakes. Apply for a four-year position at the CLIMET project (Climate feedbacks and methane cycling in Arctic lakes: enzymes to atmosphere). Apply by 28 April. @umeaunimarine.bsky.social

Looking forward to speaking in this webinar series next Wednesday.

Today was the first field day in my ERC ARIMETH project! I installed a oxygen and water level sensor in Krycklan. It was a great field day, wearing t-shirt, sunny... But this is so wrong. Mid-april in northern Sweden means a thick snow cover, but this has been an abnormally warm and dry winter.

#IceLabCamp is ready and waiting for you, PhD students who want to learn how to ask questions and work creatively in multidisciplinary groups! Come to us in Umeå and transform your research. #PhDchat #PhDSky #complexsystems #complexity #researchschool
