Tiny sea cucumbers, big mysteries! 🪱
Out sampling for my MSCA project SensHolo at the @msarscentre.bsky.social, at the University of Bergen, 🇳🇴— exploring how these mini echinoderms sense their world.
Plus a few bonus echinoderms! 🌊✨

🌊✨ Forgot the most important part in my #chemecol2025 excitement yesterday 🫣 — huge thanks to @mchatzigeorgiou.bsky.social and @msarscentre.bsky.social
for the support behind my work on chemical cues & larval behaviour in Ciona intestinalis!

🌊🧪 Big day at #chemecol2025!
I presented my talk:
“Chemical cues & larval behaviour in the tunicate Ciona intestinalis 🪸✨

I had the pleasure of chairing the Aquatic Chemical Ecology session — featuring amazing talks on annelids, cnidarians, oysters, and red algae. 🌿🦪🪼🪱

🎬 ACTION! The curtain rises…
So pumped for a whole week of chemical ecology adventures here in Christchurch, NZ 🇳🇿 with @chemicalecology.bsky.social!

Expect plenty of land drama 🌱🌿🐝🦟🪲
…and some splashy aquatic cameos too 🪸🪼🦪💦

Let the #chemecol2025 show begin! 🎉

So awesome seeing some marine chemical ecology research on the cover of science!! 💙💚

Kelp forests on the coast of Maine are in decline owing to rapid ocean warming and are being replaced by turf algae, which alter the ecosystem’s chemistry, hindering the recovery of kelp forests.

📣🌊 Calling on all aquatic chemical ecologists! 🌿🐠
Join us at @chemicalecology.bsky.social conference in Christchurch, New Zealand 🇳🇿 , Aug 18–22!

I will be chairing the Aquatic Chem Ecol session — send us your abstracts! Submissing in link below👇
📅 Deadline: May 31

Let’s make some waves in NZ! 💧🌏

Pretty proud of my first post-doc paper making the cover and “new & notable” section of @biophysj.bsky.social
🥹💪

🚨Registration & abstract submission is open for this years International Society of Chemical Ecology Conference! scienceevents.eventsair.com/isce-apace-2...
🎙️ I am also happy to share that I will be chairing the “Aquatic Chemical Ecology” session! 🌊👃👅🧫 Hope to see heaps of you in beautiful NZ 🏔️🇳🇿

Ciona intestinalis in situ @ 25m around Sotra island,🇳🇴!

I am trying to understand how chemical cues lead to these mass aggregations!
