So a big day for #microeukaryote #imaging. To finish "en beaute" a small video to share the behind the scenes of this first work. Such an exciting time to be a #marine #microbiologist !!

This was led by @serenaflori.bsky.social, @fmikus.bsky.social and @eliottflaum.bsky.social, with fantastic collaborators from @embl.org @yschwab.bsky.social, TREC teams @nikobiota.bsky.social and beyond @dudinlab.bsky.social and will hopefully accelerate future research in diatom cell biology 2/n

Exciting day for the lab: our 1rst paper is officially out in @currentbiology.bsky.social 🥳 Wonderful collaboration wt @gautamdey.bsky.social showing how Cryo-ExM achieves consistent immunostaining in diverse diatoms, from the lab and the natural environment 1/n

A small piece with PhD student @sorayazwahlen.bsky.social and Wiebe Kooistra on why we think Chaetoceros is an emerging model system for phytoplankton research, ranging from its ecological role, to unique cellular features and - of course - its many symbiotic interactions in the marine microbiome.

So good to reconnect with the adrenaline of field work. My guilty pleasure as a PI is to keep this happening to make sure you never go too far from the initial Pasión.

A huge thx to @vibtrainconf.bsky.social for this #MLD8 full of diatom geeks. Such a beautiful community & really phenomenal science. @serenaflori.bsky.social could present her latest preprint & I updated the diatom folks on how we make Chaetoceros a good model for phytoplankton symbiosis research !

Excited to share the lab's 1rst preprint! Rapid high-res immunofluorescence is now possible in cultured & environmental diatoms thanks to 4-fold expansion microscopy. A step-change for comparative cell biology in one of the most important phytoplankton groups on the planet 🥳

@embl.org crew at @embo.org workshop on #EMBOClimateResilience
After a day of intense talks, now comes the active brainstorming part to actually come up with concrete steps forward to create more bonds between cell biology and planetary science.

From one @embo.org meeting into another …
First of its own workshop bringing together scientists, funding agencies, key stakeholders to tackle scales and climate resilience.
Fun fact: I took that SEM picture during my PhD, @taraoceans-science.bsky.social sample ;)

Absolutely phenomenal week for the #EESWildModels.
A pure celebration of biological wonders, and incredibly engaged participants.
Thanks to all the co-organizers and @events.embl.org for making this possible !

If you’re in Paris… Run to 104 !!
Full immersion in the world of arts and science, built by dozens of artists that have embarked on the Tara schooner. Special crush for Maki Okhojima and Antoine Bertin with whom I had so much fun onboard (including seasickness 🙃)
