I was awarded the Alan Higgins Award by @micropalaeosoc.bsky.social for my work on planktonic foraminifera reproduction and culture. I feel very honored and can only thank all the great colleagues who supported me along the way in Norway, Ireland, the UK, Germany and France!

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!
The lab keeps evolving and we are THRILLED! More equipment is about to arrive, some more is planned, and we feel super excited about our different projects. Also really… what a view when the doors are open, one can even see the emblematic « sainte victoire » behind the trees!

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
