Absolutely gorgeous day tidepooling with my Marine Algae class @stanfordhopkins.bsky.social! 🌊

In case you missed it: our review titled "Spatial structure: shaping the ecology and evolution of microbial communities" is out! 🚨 Let me hit you with some highlights on why spatial structure matters. (and why you should care!) Sharing is appreciated 🙏 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1093/fems...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Proud PI moment... I just submitted my first sbatch script as a #newPI to start metagenomic microbial data analysis again! 👩‍💻🧬 After a year of starting a lab & writing endless grants, I just want to look at data again! 👀

Oh how I missed this snowy landscape! Wisconsin 💙❄️

Absolutely gorgeous day tidepooling with students in my Marine Algae class yesterday! So much algal diversity, and a bonus Hopkins rose nudibranch! 🌊

Sunday hike reset, ready for another week! ⛰️ 🐕

We just released #anvio v9, "eunice" 🎉 This version represents over 2,000 changes in the codebase since v8, increasing the total number of programs in the anvi'o ecosystem to 176. Read the release notes: github.com/merenlab/anv... Visit our up-to-date web page: anvio.org

Come join us at #UWEnvironment! @uwsafs.bsky.social#UWEnvironmentand UW Friday Harbor Labs are hiring an assistant professor who specializes in marine invertebrate organismal biology. About the job and how to apply: https://bit.ly/44sItYr

This was a big year, starting my new research lab! So proud of all of my students. Happy Holidays from the Weigel Lab, and the kelp! 🎅🏻❄️🎄🌊

Dictyota coriacea (“Y-branched algae”) is our seaweed of the week! #PhycologyFriday

Cryptonemia obovata (which has no common name, but “red lobe weed” seems fitting) is our seaweed of the week! Red blades are notoriously difficult to identify, but supposedly this is one of the most common taxa in San Diego #PhycologyFriday

Please take a look at our new review article on the nationwide long-term monitoring program in Japan, “Monitoring-Site 1000,” which summarizes 15 years of surveys (2008–2022) and reveals significant changes in seaweed community structure. Terada et al. 2026 Phycol Res doi.org/10.1111/pre....

The Queen of Limu! 😍 #PhycologyFriday 🌊🦑

Lovely sunset low tide this evening! 🌅 🌊

Had a wonderful seminar visit to UBC in Vancouver! Thanks to @drseaweed.bsky.social for being an excellent host! Nice to be back in the Pacific Northwest 🏔️🌊

Just to bring this back up to folks attention! Join us! And happy to answer any questions! We will start reviewing applications Dec 15

Rhodymenia californica (“roseweed”) is our seaweed of the week! #PhycologyFriday

Also @hannahgreich.bsky.social shared this great resource with me for anyone else on the hunt: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Hey #microbialsky - anyone looking for a good PhD student this cycle? Ugrad from my lab is looking but no luck with the PIs she has contacted (no funding, no response). She worked in my lab for 1.5 years, now is a research tech at the FWC research institute. Excellent at the bench & super smart!

In Sept 2025, Black Ocean Stanford Scholars (BOSS) and the Monterey Bay Aquarium hosted a 3-day gathering celebrating Black scholars in ocean studies. From networking and tide-pool exploring to identity workshops and a moving aquatic-history exhibit, the event ended with a candlelit dinner. 🌊

Sunset tidepooling always makes me feel happy 😍
