Thrilled to share that the #MarineSymbiomes group joined the #TMHM Symposium! I spoke on seagrass–sponge interactions, and our postdoc Elena Quintanilla presented on seagrass–clam symbioses #ENGAGE_prin. Great science, people, and discussions—thanks to @memartino.bsky.social & Raquel Peixoto!

Priceless afterwork in Bogliasco, Italy
A coastal scene featuring large, rugged rocks by the sea with tidal pools in the foreground. Two children in warm clothing sit on a rock near the water, looking into a small pool. In the middle ground, a woman and a man stand on the rocks, gazing towards the sea. The background showcases a picturesque seaside village with pastel-colored buildings and a church tower nestled against a hillside. The sky is partly cloudy, casting a soft, diffused light over the scene.

🧪Proposal submitted! Feels like I just ran a marathon. Now, where’s my long Christmas break... oh wait, that’s over too. Guess I’ll settle for a fancy lunch break with sparkling wine and sea view: cheers to that! #MicroSky #SymbioSky #marineecology #MarineSymbiomes
A sparkling ocean view under a clear blue sky, with sunlight shimmering on the water's surface. A house and trees sit perched on the rocky shoreline, and a sailboat drifts in the distance. A joyful moment captured as two glasses of sparkling wine are clinked together in celebration, with the ocean and a sunlit view visible through large windows. A smiling person adds warmth to the scene.

Wrapping up final sampling for the #ENGAGE_prin manipulative experiment! 🌊🌱🐚 Plants, lucinid clams, and sediment were exposed to a marine heatwave — it’s time to check how metaorganisms respond alone vs. in association. Incredible teamwork! 💪 Go #MarineSymbiomes! #SymbioSky #MicroSky #MarineEcology
