Slowly but surely the lab we had in our heads with @sulpis.bsky.social and @chalkyoceans.bsky.social is coming to life. High pressure incubators are about to come, more microscopy equipments… Such a nice adventure has started!

Join us as a postdoc with the amazing @sulpis.bsky.social in the exciting @exoceanlab.bsky.social

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* 😅

End of June was particularly warm in southern France and the Mediterranean Sea experienced very high temperatures (28 degree Celsius?!). We were lucky enough to have ship time and sample days later. Today we’re going through the samples - full of truncs! @exoceanlab.bsky.social

If you have interesting science to share on ocean ecosystems sensibility &/or OA etc, consider submitting it to the upcoming collection « Ocean Ecosystem Services and Sustainable Development Goals » of the new Springer Nature journal Ocean Ecosystem! bit.ly/3FzQH7E @bmc.springernature.com

Great week of scientific talks at the ICOP/ISOP 2025 in Korea and some nice work done with @raphaelmorard.bsky.social, Mattia Greco, @sandinmm.bsky.social, Nicolaas Glock and co.!

«You can’t have it all» they said. After weeks of field work in Bermuda, partly with my little one and significant other, thanks to the support of the amazing @chalkyoceans.bsky.social… I feel very optimistic that it is possible. Keep going! There’s room for science and tiny humans in our lives 💪🏼

Bermuda cave sampling today with @blancobercial.bsky.social for these little monsters (lovely forams)! Thank you Leo, @chalkyoceans.bsky.social, @biosstation.bsky.social ! @exoceanlab.bsky.social

Having fun in the lab @biosstation.bsky.social with @chalkyoceans.bsky.social, @thefosterlab.bsky.social and co.

Look at this beauty! freshly fished out of the Sargasso Sea and imaged at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences with @chalkyoceans.bsky.social @juliemeilland.bsky.social and others 🧪🌊⚒️

With the « Life of Retaria » we do podcasts! Listen to the first one during which we interviewed @fabnot.bsky.social #protistsonsky

Excited to have hundreds of baby Forams in the lab after the first towing - different species - different behaviors! @exoceanlab.bsky.social @chalkyoceans.bsky.social

Check what we do and follow us @exoceanlab.bsky.social

🚨Hello world!🚨We'd like to introduce you to our new laboratory for "experimental ocean science", ExoCean (C is for carbon). We are three researchers teaming up to work on culturing, dissolving, & measuring marine samples. @juliemeilland.bsky.social, @sulpis.bsky.social & @chalkyoceans.bsky.social.

Interested in doing a PhD with living planktonic foraminifera? Come work with us! Check our PhD subject and get in touch! @tdegaridel.bsky.social

Thrilled to announce that I officially started my new job as a @cnrs.bsky.social researcher in the @climatecerege.bsky.social, France. I am very thankful for the support I received for my project. Amazing views of Provence and a running lab, already with living forams to play with - what else?!

Not all adaptation strategies to #climatechange will be sufficient for planktonic #foraminifera to survive, an international team of researchers with #MARUM participation comes to this conclusion in the scientific journal @nature.com ➡️ www.marum.de/en/Climate-c... @juliemeilland.bsky.social

Can we (and by we I mean foraminifera) migrate our way out of the climate crisis? It doesn't look like it. Massive study by @soniachaabane.bsky.social with @tdegaridel.bsky.social, @juliemeilland.bsky.social, @sulpis.bsky.social, me and others! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌊📉 New Paper Alert! "Migrating is Not Enough for Modern Planktonic Foraminifera in a Changing Ocean" published Open Access in Nature🧵👇 Me & @tdegaridel.bsky.social @juliemeilland.bsky.social @sulpis.bsky.social @chalkyoceans.bsky.social and others www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check our last study about planktonic foraminifera, confucted by @soniachaabane.bsky.social, together with @chalkyoceans.bsky.social, @sulpis.bsky.social and other great researchers! In today’s climate, for foraminifera, migrating is not enough www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 New paper alert! 🌟 Check out our latest FORCIS project paper with @juliemeilland.bsky.social, @tdegaridel.bsky.social, @sulpis.bsky.social, and many others, published in @aslo_org L&O: Methods 📚 Discover our new approach to size-normalizing planktonic Foraminifera abundance 🐚🌊🔬

It’s happening!!🎉 Today our second seminar of the Life of Retaria seminar series! Join us at 14h (CET) to dive deeper into the role of Forams and Rads in marine biogeochemical cycles! 🌊 Our presenters: Nielja Knetch & Manon Laget😍 Learn more and register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

New paper out with the @Arclim group on Large-scale culturing of G. bulloides from cold waters - check it out! academic.oup.com/plankt/advan... @thefosterlab.bsky.social , @chalkyoceans.bsky.social, Adele Westgård, Freya sykes (Lead author), Mohamed Ezat and co! Congrats Freya!

It is our pleasure to announce The life of Retaria Seminar Series! A monthly meeting to foster exchange among the Retaria community in an informal and friendly environment. The first sessions are already scheduled, starting on June 10. Check it out: thelifeofretaria.github.io

New culture trip, new forams going strong in the lab @climatecerege.bsky.social thanks to @chalkyoceans.bsky.social, @tdegaridel.bsky.social, @soniachaabane.bsky.social, the crew of the #antedon2 and a lot of other supportive colleagues!
