It was my first cruise, just two weeks in the lab. Absolutely a great start 🌊🌊🌊

When an international group of empiricists and theorists go to sea, good things happen... New manuscript showing how recurring zones of elevated oxygen that harbor dense populations of phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria are connected to viral activity - a 🧵. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy to be part of this neat work by led by @camelia-s-gochev.bsky.social and Debbie Lindell on cyanophages infection rates in the Sourthen Ocean. Spoil alert! Sub-Antarctic waters are not a pleasant place for picocyanobacteria, and it not because it is cold!

The AVW12 committee wishes you a Happy New Year 2025! A quick reminder that the deadline for abstract submission is 15 February: avw12.sciencesconf.org. Spread the word with your network!

Happy to share that our work on viral infection of cyanobacteria in the Southern Ocean has been published 🦠❄️🌊 doi.org/10.1111/1462... Thank you to all the collaborators in this project @d2mory.bsky.social @joshuasweitz.bsky.social @biologytechnion.bsky.social
