I just returned from my holiday in Finland. While we were looking for bears, wolves and co, one of my personal favorites were these green-alga bearing freshwater sponges. Photosymbiosis is everywhere if you look close enough. Maybe it‘s time for some freshwater work at @hifmb.de?

My first dive into Raman microscopy! 🔬 Our latest heat stress experiments on Aiptasia raised more questions than answers — until a few days of Raman spectroscopy with Dr. Peter Mojzeš at @charlesuni.cuni.cz helped connect the dots. Grateful for the collaboration and excited about what’s ahead!

What a great finale. Receiving the Zeno Karl Schindler Research Prize marked the perfect end to an amazing time as a postdoc at EPFL🇨🇭. Big thanks to the Laboratory for Biological Geochemistry for being awesome friends and colleagues throughout these years!

I am thrilled to announce that this will be my new workplace. I am joining @hifmb.bsky.social today to start my new focus group on host-microbe interactions in photosymbioses.

Looking forward to meeting old and new friends and exploring new collaborations. 🦠🧫🪸 #microsky

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

🎓 Congratulations to the brilliant Dr. Gaëlle Toullec on successfully defending her PhD thesis on symbiotic nutrient cycling in the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea. 🌊🪸🪼🔬#PhD #MarineScience

That feeling when you spent three weeks on a NanoSIMS mosaic just to falsify your initial hypothesis… At least 15N-ammonium uptake in the Hydra-Chlorella symbiosis looks pretty.
