🐟🌊🥁 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!

So proud of Dr Sim and Dr Ong!! What a privilege I had to be your advisor. Thank you for the trust! Excited to see your next scientific adventures!! 😍😍 @biovitenskap.bsky.social

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...

We have an A in house with a brillant master thesis defence of Sandra Irén!!! First master student of the GEEK lab in Norway! 😍 Thanks to @maritbjorbaekmo.bsky.social and Inger Skrede for a delightful & constructive discussion. #protists #proudadvisor 🔬🧬👩‍💻 @biovitenskap.bsky.social

Happy #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience! I've been luck to be the mentor & mentee (officially and unofficially) and supported by amazing women in science! YOU have a vital role in my career!! 💜👩‍🔬
ps. some cute random photos I have on my phone. Not representative!

ECODIM XII (LA school of Marine Microbial Ecology) is completed (cloud word from student feedback)! 👏This UNESCO-awarded program thrives thanks to Osvaldo Ulloa's leadership & the support of @udeconcepcion.bsky.social, Agouron Inst. & @moorefound.bsky.social! @biovitenskap.bsky.social #ECODIM2025

ECODIM XII has started at Hunay biological station, in the heart of Chilean Patagonia. Excited to be back as prof and contribuite to graduate another batch of Marine Microbial Ecologists from Latin America!! 🇧🇷🇨🇱🇦🇷🇨🇺🇵🇪🇨🇴 #ECODIM @biovitenskap.bsky.social #ProtistsOnSky

It is time to hit the ice continent again! On the way to Antarctica with my dearest friend & colleague Catherine Gerikas & incredible team! More on ice-protists to come!

Finally,big thanks to our reviewers who were really thoughtful & thoroughly and greatly helped us to improve the work!! From now, I consider sending a message after the review process bc reviewer #1, made our day with this message!! @asloorg.bsky.social

Very proud of Denise Ong, a former PhD in group who had no previous training or experience with oceanographic data, and nailed this work!! Also, this work would be impossible w/o the support of Andres Gutierrez (IEO-CSIC), our field ecologist guru! @ieo-oceanografia.bsky.social

Thank you for the ref! I've missed this one!!🙈 Our strain has a zoozpore phase, usually after transfer (SEM). Once the zoospores settle, in a few days the network starts to appears. I wonder if the settlement is just random in nature or those that are parasitic, follows host clues...
