First #planktoscope images coming through from the North West Atlantic!! Looks like we hit a sticky phaeocystis patch. #nwabcp @planktosquad @MicrobialOcean @LaRocheLab @MarineInst @PrakashLab @fabien_lombard @airseanuig

The National Research Vessel Task Team’s co-chairs have created a User Demand Survey about research ship time to better understand the needs of the Canadian research community. If you can contribute, please take this short survey. bit.ly/3L5c9hL

We just published a paper this week on using metaproteomics to quantify proteomic traits across different marine microbes - check it out! nature.com/articles/s41396-0… Also, here's the "Behind the Paper" @MicrobialOcean @andreweallen tinyurl.com/bktfmccv

First preprint :) We used metaproteomics to identify and quantify proteomic 'traits' of marine microbes in Antarctica, tackling various methods issues and showing that taxa are distinct with respect to these traits. Any and all feedback is welcome! @MicrobialOcean

We launched the ocean protein portal prototype this week at #ASLO2019. Wonder where your protein is and who makes it? Try the prototype out, submit data to it, and give us (lots of) feedback. We want to build a useful and sustainable community resource. #earthcube
Introducing the Ocean Protein Portal, a metaproteomic data sharing platform. The science launch of the Prototype site just went live for the ASLO conference in Puerto Rico. oceanproteinportal.org
An honour to meet these two inspiring #WomenInSTEM. Thank you @KirstyDuncanMP @ChiefSciCan for championing the first annual Science Meets Parliament event! #SciParl2018

Props to my fellow #womeninSTEM who are carrying on with lecture-making, proposal-writing, experiment-running, butt-kicking amidst the cacophony of terrible, distracting thoughts & memories & news. Props to the invisible, quiet heroines of science, doing this every day.

Scientists at Scripps and @JCVenterInst have discovered the genes that produce domoic acid, the deadly neurotoxin produced by harmful algal blooms. More on the breakthrough here: scripps.ucsd.edu/news/domoic… @NSF_GEO @NIEHS @aaas
Come by #AskDalSci to make models with our scientists! Neurons and cells and so much more, find us down @BuskersHFX until 3pm #Dal200 – at Halifax, Nova Scotia

Only one of the 27 @CERC_CERC are women. This is unacceptable in 2016. We can do better.
