I'll still check in here, but updates will now be on Bluesky.
Looking forward to continuing the conversation in a new space.

Great days at #ISS2025 in Victoria 🇨🇦! We from @norduniversity, @AWI_de & @Roscoff to share our work. Anne Nilsen, Niko Steiner, Clément Gauci & Griffin Hill presented their PhDs + #KELPRIME project, incl. Leo Minini’s work.
Great contacts, learning, & excursions.

Just deployed offspring from high- & low-#biofouled ##kelp!

We're quantifying heritability of fouling intensity—a crucial step toward fouling-resistant kelp for #aquaculture & #restoration.

Huge thanks to Polaralge AS, @kelpinorNO & the engaged students at Nord University!

Big congrats to Anne Nilsen on her article exploring the methylome of clonal seagrass shoots! 🌿 This work on Zostera marina offers valuable insights into age-related methylation, tissue differentiation, and stress memory. https://t.co/XyrBn5pqzE👏 #Epigenetics #SeagrassScience

Huge thanks to Inka Bartsch & Andreas Wagner @AWI_Media for the #kelp clonal gametophyte isolation workshop! 🙌 Great learning & collaboration with colleagues from @NordUniversity, Polaralge, Kelpinor & @NIBIO. Exciting times for #KELPRIME & #DEFY projects! #Seaweed #research

[Alexander Jueterbock @AJueterbock]

#Kelp research alert! 🌊🌡️ Can we make kelp more resilient to rising sea temperatures? The first PhD paper of Clement Gauci shows promising results using thermal #priming to boost growth & heat tolerance in Saccharina latissima. https://t.co/JyC27mEAqh

🧬🌳 How does the environment shape evolution? New review article lead by @EwanHarney explores the interplay between the epigenome, genome, & environment, highlighting how epigenetic variation may drive rapid adaptation. #epigenetics #evolution

Congrats to Lydia Scheschonk (@unibremen) & @annemlnilsen (@Norduniversitet) on their new #SugarKelp research that shows that chloroplast DNA methylation varies by geographic origin, revealing long-term environmental adaptations. #epigenetics

🌊🔬 Our June-harvest at https://t.co/4VEDMJbRof suggests that priming kelp gametophytes impacts sporophyte yield. Next up: testing effects on heat stress, fouling, grazing, biochemistry & epigenetic memory. Thanks @AWI_Media, @LofotenBlueHarvest, @NIBIO_no & @Norduniversitet
