Collecting sponges to complement my heatwave study.
Hoping to catch a real marine heatwave, but the strong mistral winds cooled things down fast. Great for the sponges, not ideal for my thermal stress data!

In 2021 (just after I found out I was pregnant), we flew to Crete to test what shapes the diversity in sponges as living hotels.
Do isolated sponges host more guests?
Four years (and a toddler) later, our Single Hotel Hypothesis paper is out!

The #ATLSea project: a #France2030 mission to sequence marine life from every coastline. Collecting invertebrates off the coast of Marseille - from sponges to sea slugs. ATLASea is building an incredible database one genome at a time. 🐚🦐 #OceanGenome #Biodiversity

Just completed 3 dives off Marseille with #ATLASea 🌊 Nearly 600 marine species collected for genome sequencing! Exploring life beneath the surface to unlock biodiversity secrets. 🧬🐙 #MarineScience #DivingForScience
