I'm on an mCDR panel at #EGU25, but I just learned that our convener Carolin Löscher from Denmark won't be there. She's been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer whose expensive treatment is only available in the US and UAE. Please consider helping: www.gofundme.com/f/help-for-m...

Apply to our Biological Oceanography MSc program, study in small groups on the shores of the Baltic Sea with leading researchers! Courses are research-driven, deadline April 15: www.geomar.de/en/studying/... #geomar #kieluniversity

Congrats to former team member Jahan for being nominated! Well deserved! #Geomar

If you are looking for a postdoc and interested in 2nd generation restoration considering genetic factors in seagrass ecosystem, targeting our pet species Zostera marina, still 10 days left to apply!

Wonderful opportunity for a phytoplankton scientist with a green thumb in Birte Matthiessen‘s lab in our research unit Experimental Ecology at #GEOMAR Kiel www.geomar.de/en/karriere/...

Today marks one of the saddest day in my professional career. I am reading about several hundert employees fired from NOAA. NOAA provides critical services for the US but also globally. (1/2)

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

and another 5-yr (!) postdoctoral position at GEOMAR Kiel on advancing seagrass assisted evolution, see details and link to apply www.geomar.de/en/karriere/.... Omics and pop genetics knowledge required, seagrass and coastal ecology desirable. @geomarkiel.bsky.social DM me for inquiries

The GEOMAR seagrass team is hiring. Time to make coastal restoration long-term sustainable. A fully funded 4-yr PhD position on eelgrass seascape genomics in the Baltic Sea, further details see here www.geomar.de/en/karriere/... @geomarkiel.bsky.social DM me for inquiries

I am proud to have helped interpret this analysis, which highlights the impacts of climate change on land and the oceans 🌊 with great visualisation... 2/3 of the Earth's surface experienced record heat in 2024! lnkd.in/d4v9rRSB

Our Evolution of Evolvability work is finally* out! *technically it has been out for a bit, but all of ~this~ bullshit was happening www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

A Direct Hit, by @holdenthorp.bsky.social @science.org www.science.org/doi/full/10.... "This is a moment to unite."

This is how you do it. Thank you @sicbjournals.bsky.social Read their whole email to membership here mailchi.mp/sicb.org/sic...

Our new colleague Till Harter is looking for a Postdoc and PhD student to study red blood cell function in cod. Excellent opportunities, see www.geomar.de/en/karriere/... #Geomar and theharterlab.com

🌱 Seagrass meadows as natural climate protectors 🌊 In the new major project ZOBLUC ("Zostera marina as a Blue Carbon sink"), researchers are exploring the potential of seagrass meadows to store carbon. 🔗Read more: www.geomar.de/en/news/arti... 📷Photo: Jan Dierking, GEOMAR

🔥 It is happening now ! Mediterranean ecosystems under fire: 👉 T. Ermitão et al. Jan 2024 doi.org/10.1111/gcb.... 🔑 Recurrent fires reshape Mediterranean ecosystems, with declining recovery rates—needle-leaved forests recover faster, shrublands struggle, and climate extremes worsen disruptions 🌐🌍

New paper alert! Partially sex-reversed giant #kelp gametophytes allowed us to investigate the transcriptomic machinery behind sexual differentiation in the haploid U/V sex chromosome system of brown #algae. Check out the open access paper here: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Article written by myself and Dr Philine zu Ermgassen www.linkedin.com/in/philine-z... and based on the published articles www.nature.com/articles/s41... and conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... with @alecbmmoore.bsky.social @profcallum.bsky.social (and maybe others on Bsky I've missed!)

My favorite sequence of our just completed #bioc102 class at #Geomar: pedicellariae in betweeb sea urchin spines cleaning all surfaces. Inspiration galore for sci fi #Marinelife

www.geomar.de/en/news/arti... Also, congratulations for yet another successful GAME cycle to Mark Lenz and team in year 21 of the program. This year, the team conducted globally replicated experiments in the impacts of light pollution on algae. #GAME #Geomar

www.geomar.de/en/news/arti... Welcome to GEOMAR Till and best of luck! We are excited to work with you and your team! #Geomar

🌊 The Marine Heatwave Research Focus is a working group of WCRP-CLIVAR, chaired by Antonietta Capotondi and me. We just published this review paper, and many open questions remain about their vertical structure, prediction and projections… rdcu.be/d2Xh0

One more day to apply!

New paper out on collaborative work on cockle parasites in Europe: Stout et al. (2024) "Morphological vs. molecular identification of trematode species infecting the edible cockle Cerastoderma edule across Europe". doi.org/10.1016/j.ij...

Timescales in Cell Biology

In kelp, we see a similar pattern of reduced inbreeding depression in small populations. For the kelp dataset, selfed individuals have less of an increase in realized load when they come from small populations. 5/5
