📣 📣 Wondering what allow diatoms to grow in the ever-changing environment 🌦️of the ocean🌊?
Check out or latest work where we develop genome-wide CRISPR screen to unravel the genes🧬 critical for diatoms under dynamic light conditions☀️🌥️👇
Spoiler alert: it is (almost) not about NPQ 👀 but CEF 🫣

Excited to have been invited to the Annual Symposium of the Botanical Society of Japan 👀🦠🌱🌾🌿

So glad to have given a course on photosynthesis ☀️ last week at the @szndohrn.bsky.social , it's very humbling to see such a historical place for marine biology 👀🐠🐟🦠

Part of the lab was at York last week for the CCM11 conference! Amazing science, wonderful people as always 🥰

Silly artwork alert 🚨from our favorite model organisms 🫣🙃 (work of Phaeodactylum photosynthesis in dynamic light to be released very soon btw 👀)

🎉🥳 Celebrating our publication revealing proteins bandwidths of importance with a Chlamy crêpe party 🥞

It was a lot of fun to have @dstrenkert.bsky.social from @msudoeplantlab.bsky.social visit us and present her research on Ferredoxins last week 🥰 @carnegiescience.bsky.social

Cool to see today the work of @noodlyscientist.bsky.social featured at the @stanfordenergy.bsky.social symposium 👀 💚🦠
@carnegiescience.bsky.social

👀 Sneak pick on our soon publicly available discovery that photosynthetic cells maintain bioenergetics homeostasis in a light periodicity-dependent manner⛅🌥️🌤️☀️ we reveal that each electron flow has their own bandwidth of physiological importance. Stay tuned👀

This week we did our annual retreat at the beautiful foghouse (without the fog 🥳). Glad to have such a great team ❤️ @carnegiescience.bsky.social

Super excited to be at the @apsphysics.bsky.social meeting this week 👀🥳 Looking forward to build connections at the frontier between biology and physics 👀
@carnegiescience.bsky.social

From today at lunch: an onion Chlamydomonas-shaped 👀❤️🦠

Glad to have participated in this wonderful collaborative work where we describe the coolest symbiosis ever: Stentor-Chlorella👇

What a wonderful start of the year with the western photosynthesis conference at @fridayharbor.bsky.social 🥳🤩

This week we celebrated the end of the year with a Holiday Potluck, amazing food, wonderful people, great perspectives for the coming year 🤩

My new card holder in my office 🤩
