I just returned from my holiday in Finland. While we were looking for bears, wolves and co, one of my personal favorites were these green-alga bearing freshwater sponges. Photosymbiosis is everywhere if you look close enough. Maybe it‘s time for some freshwater work at @hifmb.de?

My first dive into Raman microscopy! 🔬 Our latest heat stress experiments on Aiptasia raised more questions than answers — until a few days of Raman spectroscopy with Dr. Peter Mojzeš at @charlesuni.cuni.cz helped connect the dots. Grateful for the collaboration and excited about what’s ahead!

Many amoebae incorporate diatoms in their shells, but Cylindrifflugia bacillariarum is the master. Third and fourth pics are close views of the glue that holds it all together. #ProtistsonSky #Amoebae #Peatlands

Yesterday was the darkest day of my professional life so far. Many of NSF’s best and brightest people fired indiscriminately. The terms of their firing cruel. My colleagues matter, they are valued and they make a difference. I have no words. www.npr.org/2025/02/18/n...

National Science Foundation fires roughly 10% of its workforce

NSF fired 168 employees, leaving the agency less equipped to fund a wide range of scientific research.

A beautiful evening with friends, great discussions, and even some science! Excited to call this place my (work) home.

Yesterday, we celebrated the inauguration of our new building with companions and friends from science and politics. Thank you for motivating greetings and good wishes. We got a fantastic place for research, lab work, discourse and get-togethers.

Stoked about this manuscript, many years in the making. We present an original resource of ~700 highly curated plastid MAGs of marine pelagic algae. Among these we found a novel deep branching group of plastid genomes; we informally call them leptophytes

Endosymbiosis remodels transporter expression in Phaeocystis algae. Beautiful work from the @johandecelle.bsky.social lab. It would be amazing to know whether the patterns in diurnal transporter expression also change the directionality of transport. 🧫🦠
