Cool talk by Vesma Grujcic at the Minisymposium on microeukaryote diversity and ecology in Uppsala Sweden!
Just here at Logan after immigration detained our student and wouldn’t even let us have contact, even though she has the same entry authorization as another student she was traveling with.
Enjoyed working this week with next gen scientists in our @GEOMAR_en marine micro practical with @ute_hentschel examining the great plate anomaly via microscopy, flow and plating! Wow the non marine test plate of a public scooter handle was scary! (Marine were beautiful 😉)
Great to get together with former Worden Lab members Lilly @e_hehenberger who now has her own group in the Czech Republic, and Cami Poirier now at the Richards Lab @AncestralState along with current folks @GEOMAR while at the EMBO workshop
Matthias Fischer @the_fischer_lab updating us @EMBO on fascinating giant viruses including crazy ones he suspects swim!
Beautiful work on cyanobacterial symbionts in protists shown here by Yong Heng Phua, lots of inspiration from Rachel Foster’s research coming through!
Super cool talk on plastid switching in a novel kleptoplastidy relationship @EMBO from the PhD work of Megan Sorensen.
