I published something not related to plastid evolution!! Diving deep into the transcriptional changes of a marine green alga during nutrient limitation, I found some surprises involving tRNA modifications and codon usage doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msad2…

We will re-advertise this #PhD project. Project start date: October 2023. Get in touch if you are interested in polar #diatoms, #metals, #climate change and #evolution. This time, applications only from U.K. residents will be considered (Not my rules). #Arctic #SeaIce @ueaenv
Fully funded #PhD studentship in my group! The main aim of this project is to produce the first molecular genetics and biochemical data on the role of zinc in the physiological adaptation of cold-adapted #diatoms. @ueaenv @GLWheeler2 Deadline: Jan/11/23 aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships…

My editorial is kicking off a new series of perspective papers @JPhycology to provide insights into the latest developments of algal models for addressing fundamental questions in #biology. We will have ca. 2 papers per issue in volume 59 (2023). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Was fun helping the @BBC team to produce the footage shown in episode II. We show sea-ice #diatoms (and copepods) attached to ice crystals in a sea-ice chamber. Credits to Robert Utting and Maria Luisa Sánchez Montes from our lab for helping with the diatom cultures! @ueaenv
ICYMI: Amazing new footage of @ueaenv's algae in ep 2 of #FrozenPlanet2 shows for the first time how microalgae freeze in sea ice & are released into the water once melting starts. From 20' 30" 🦠🌊❄️ @BBCEarth @Th_Mock @uniofeastanglia @ClimateUEA_ bddy.me/3LGI2za

"Supposedly anonymous" Referee: "...the authors should easily understand who I am after reading my review. I suggest they contact me asap to discuss collaborations on this important topic..." Am I the only one thinking this is really wrong? (not to mention creepy)

In collaboration with @jgi we have started to add high-quality algal MAGs to the #PhycoCosm portal including their annotations and for comparative genomics. The first one is Micromonas sp. AD1 (A = Anthony D = Duncan). Check it out! phycocosm.jgi.doe.gov/MicrAD…
