PhD specializing in cnidarian photobiology and nutrient translocation
Today I learned that benthic ctenophores is a thing! Made me miss working with Cassiopea 🥲
This work on benthic ctenophore systematics (creation of Benthoplanidae) sets up a few planned works, focused on the systematics and evolution of shallow and deep water groups. www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=...

I will be hiring a PhD student and a postdoc for my ANR-funded project CECIL soon, starting in January 2026. If you have experience in (marine) microbiology and microbial OMICS, and are keen to understand how sea anemone microbiomes work, please reach out! 🧫 🧬

(p.s. we got tapas!)

I am thrilled to announce that two exciting proposals were selected to be funded by the 2025 call for projects by the @agencerecherche.bsky.social – one major collaborative project (PRC) on which I will be co-investigator, and my Young Researcher (JCJC) project CECIL, which I will be leading.

Once again, the heads-down, work the back channels strategy doesn't work. We know this, from a decade in Wisconsin & frontal assaults on higher ed at the state level elsewhere for years now. I don't know why anyone expects it to now suddenly work when the assault are coming from the federal level.

Part of the Pacific Ocean seabed was mined in 1979. 44 years later, marine life in the area has still not fully recovered www.newscientist.com/article/2469...
Deep-sea life is still recovering from mining activity 40 years ago
The site of a deep-sea mining test in 1979 had lower levels of biodiversity when researchers revisited it in 2023 compared with undisturbed areas nearby

While the bird flu gets worse and egg prices skyrocket, Trump’s team fired employees who were working on the bird flu response.

Now, they’re frantically trying to reverse course.

This is the opposite of efficiency.

Take a deep dive into the world of cassiosomes and their photosymbionts with @gaelletoullec.bsky.social’s first PhD paper. These autonomous cell structures of rhizostome jellyfish could be exciting model systems to study cnidarian symbioses! 🧫🪸🔬 doi.org/10.1128/msph... @cpogoreutz.bsky.social

Ever wondered what function the white granules in Cassiopea might have? In our latest work we use OCT to investigate the micromorphology and optical properties of Cassiopea tissue, and show that white granules enhance photosynthesis of nearby symbionts.
