🎉Out today @pnas.org the amazing work of Jon Doenier between our group, and Ellen Yeh's reveals one of the most important proteins that help diatoms, and many phytoplankton survive dynamic oceanic conditions 👇☀️🌥️☀️🌦️ www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🎉🚨Big announcement! My lab is moving to the @caltech.edu campus this summer! We'll be recruiting at all levels and are already looking for a lab manager to help us set up the lab 🧪🥼👀. If you're dynamic, ready for new challenges, 👇apply 👇 jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/carneg...

How is the CCM influencing the response to nitrogen deprivation? 🤔 In this preprint led by Evan Saldivar in collaboration with @rheelab.bsky.social , we reveal that in cyanobacteria🦠, the CCM is required for rapidly responding to dynamic nitrogen concentrations👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

So glad 🥳 to see this work led by Felix Buchert and Michael Hippler out in Nature [email protected] ! 🥳This work shows new residues of cytochrome b6f, which are critical to electron transport and state transition during photosynthesis ☀️👀 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very humbled to have received the Jane Silverthorne Early career award from the @aspbofficial.bsky.social 🥳

Evan Saldivar defended his PhD on cyanobacteria with brilliance🎉🍾 I am so proud of what he has accomplished with us and Sue Rhee's lab ! Soon we'll share his discoveries on nitrogen and CO2 interaction, stay tuned ! 👀 @carnegiescience.bsky.social @stanfordpress.bsky.social

Energy trade-offs under fluctuating light govern bioenergetics and growth in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Cool to see today the work of @noodlyscientist.bsky.social featured at the @stanfordenergy.bsky.social symposium 👀 💚🦠 @carnegiescience.bsky.social

📢Out today! Our work discovering that bioenergetic 🔋homeostasis in dynamic environments is periodicity-dependent ☀️🌥️🌤️⛅️🌦️☀️⛅️ We show that maintaining a healthy photosynthetic cell 💚requires mechanisms with diverse bandwidths of importance 👀 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

👀 Sneak pick on our soon publicly available discovery that photosynthetic cells maintain bioenergetics homeostasis in a light periodicity-dependent manner⛅🌥️🌤️☀️ we reveal that each electron flow has their own bandwidth of physiological importance. Stay tuned👀
