Found some more joy in the ocean today! Dolphins playing in the ships wake. #fieldwork #dolphins

When your plankton sample smiles back at you 😊 💙. My colleague Maria Kavanaugh @lifewesea.bsky.social captured this on the IFCB today on board the @noaa.gov F/V Shimada where we are collecting samples in the N. Cali Current. Sometimes the ocean just sends you a little love. #Phytoplankton #Diatoms

Whoa! so many CT scans! I do scans on a smaller #microCT scale. I have hundreds of models, but took the website offline temporarily due to copyright issues. It'll be back online this summer. Here's an example: a Globorotalia scitula planktic foraminifera - on the order of maybe 200-300 microns.

The tulips at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn, Oregon are in full bloom. It is truly a spectacular sight.

We have a little zoo here with 5 pets (few foster fails during COVID). Last summer, they were chillin' in my back yard & I got these great photos.... little pet photoshoot. The only one that wouldn't cooperate was Gus the Russian Blue (not pictured). #fosterfails #snowshoe #tabby #caturday

These are some very unhappy Globigerina bulloides #Forams. I have no idea what is going on here. Are they decalcifying? What are the vacuoles around the specimen? Until this field season, I had never observed this. These were also in the high CO2 "bad water". Has anyone observed this before?

I just found what I thought were deleted photos from our 2023 field season of #forams grown in "The Bad Water" (pCO2 = 800ppm). The forams weren't happy, but the symbionts were! Here, we captured the moment the organic template formed in the final chamber of Orbulina universa for #transcriptomics

We updated our products page to include info about pricing & product availability. Previous website info stated we did not yet have aluminum slides holders, but those are IN STOCK! www.micropaleoworks.com #micropalenotology #microslides #forams (better looking website coming soon).

New paper out today by lead author @scdoherty.bsky.social demonstrating how G. hexagonus, a planktic foraminifera, record the succession of anaerobic metabolisms in particle microenvironments in samples obtained across a pelagic oxygen gradient #proxies #foraminifera #protists #research

Posting past #NSFfunded #fieldwork photos. Here is a cultured Globigerina bulloides #foraminifera from our 2023 field season. We tried to capture the moment the organic membrane it templates calcite onto formed so we can identify shell matrix proteins #basicresearch #proteomics #biomin #NERCfunded
