Marine biologist and phycologist. Loves all things seaweed, symbioses, and sequencing (and lots of other things that don't start with an S). Researcher @Naturalis, the Netherlands 🦠🧬🌊
Our article about Sea lettuce #seaweed biodiversity is now published in TAXON: "Incorporating historic specimens to reassess Ulva diversity in the Netherlands and Belgium"
We found Ulva shanxiensis, a freshwater species, for the first time outside China!

Last #PhycologyFriday, I successfully defended my #PhD and became a Doctor! And the good thing is...after 4 years, I still love #seaweeds ;-)

Happy #PhycologyFriday! Here's a photo of a fluffy Bellotia eriophorum to remind me of Tasmania's beautiful underwater landscapes, while I prepare the predefence of my PhD thesis next week. #seaweeds
