What’s thriving under Arctic sea ice? We tracked photosynthetic protists during the Arctic UIB,revealing a shift from polar to polar-temperate taxa & spotlighting overlooked groups!Great team & Dr. Sim effort! @biovitenskap.bsky.social @roscoff-collection.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ismecommun/a...
"Sometimes we are chosen — not for our ideas or our leadership, but because we tick the right box. A woman from Latin America, visible and qualified. But we don’t become a peer." Sadly true...excellent comment.

🐟🌊🥁 Marine biology and samba—who said they don’t mix?
First day of Marine Bio @biovitenskap.bsky.social, we had fish biodiversity, costumes, and samba-enredo all in the same class!
🎭 So, which species inspired the costumes of 2007 parade? Tnx to Anders, Oslo Sambaskole's conductor for the imgs!
