I just recorded my lectures on lophophorata... I am not sure I want to read this. Don't want to re-record!!

New preprint! 🌊 Hypoxia adaptation shapes genomic architecture and vertical niche transitions in copepods www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... ‪@biorxiv-evobio.bsky.social‬ Great work by Kévin Sugier from @cea.fr and Romuald Laso-Jadart ‪@recherche.mnhn.fr‬

Stay tuned for our research on Portuguese man'o war! More coming soon!

Submissions for the WAC Student Grant program are open now until Dec 1. We anticipate making up to three $1,000 awards to support student (graduate or undergraduate) research on copepods. See details👇 www.monoculus.org/student-gran...

This summer one of my favorite science colleague and mentor and friend, Janet Bradford-Grieve, died. It is still very painful to me to think about it but I wanted to share some of the notes that are being released about herself and her research (cont) ojs.victoria.ac.nz/nzsr/article...

Come with me, little friend; let me help you recovering from your misfortune

I wrote an opinion piece about parental/family leave at UConn. I’m only ~75% happy with it but … something needed to be said. Many things actually. Loudly. Repeatedly. And with as many voices as possible. “This is UConn: Zero paid family leave for professors” ctmirror.org/2025/10/21/t...

Congratulations Dr. Millán!!!

TOMORROW is the great day!! Join to see @coocoo4coccos.bsky.social dissertation defense in #coccolithophores at BATS!!!!

New paper out! 💌🔬Spirorhynchus verrucosus is a Muranotrichean and its sister has been livin' in the deep sea Santa Barbara Basin since the 90's! See them TUFTS!! Wonderful work of B Bourland & Cepicka Lab, R Beinart, & J Bernhard enabling deep sea sampling. Read h1.nu/spiror #ProtistsOnSky #MicroSky

metaPR2 version 3.0 has just been released. Here are the major changes: - Metabarcodes (ASVs) are now annotated with the latest version of the PR2 reference sequence database (5.1.0). - 8 new published datasets have been added from the Arctic and from the South West Pacific. app.metapr2.org

Temperatures dropped thanks to the back to back hurricanes - we can enjoy the back porch again!

Come work in our lab! All the usual awesome things apply about doing exciting science, plus this one might save the world! @sulpis.bsky.social hiring a 2 year position to observe and model deep ocean processes using high-pressure reactors. *Goes to gather a bunch of forams to be dissolved* 😅

Go west, young man

More #NASA #PACE work onboard the RVAE! This time #ASU graduate student Ceridwyn Hunter, part of the Hochberg lab @biosstation.bsky.social, takes radiometric measurements at #BATS. She takes these measurements when the satellite is passing right over us!

It is the little things...

A cool anglerfish that decided to go to the epipelagic at night to eat!! Sorry little guy, it was not our intention to get you in our net!

Using strobe lights attached to the MOCNESS tows significantly increases the capture of krill and other large crustaceans. The flashing disorients these macrozooplankton, so they can not efficiently avoid the net. #NASAPACE #NASANIGHTBLUE

During this cruise, we are working together with another #NASA team, merging out #PACE and #NIGHTBLUE projects interests. We are looking at the LIDAR data, comparing it to echosounder and net zooplankton data. Go #NASA teams!!

Time at sea...

The Great Day is here! @coocoo4coccos.bsky.social will be defending with PhD in October 10, at 1 pm EST. If your are interested in #coccolitophores please join in using the zoom link below!

Bermuda (terrestrial) #fungi are blooming this week!

If conservationists want to do something positive around birdlife, maybe start with cat ownership? #RSPB

I collected this beautiful acantharian cell into an intermediate dish knowing it was getting ready to swarm... but by the time I returned to it to transfer it to an individual well it had already started to release swarmers. So, I just captured the end of the process. Enjoy! #protistsonsky 🦑

With the redirection of climate.gov to a politically directed web page we lost access to a lot of historical information, such as the CO2 concentration time series. But now, the team from www.climate.us will make that data accessible again. Follow @climate.us for the updates!!
