Our paper is finally out! We looked at the effect of #salp blooms on #microbial communities and #carbon export, during different stages of a bloom. Check it out!
@LadyZooplankton @Scripps_Ocean check out that #poop!

.@ladyZooplankton et al. find that #Salps (#plankton) alter microbial communities and quintuple the flux of sinking particles from the surface to the deep, strongly enhancing the ocean's ability to sequester #CO2 @Decimalab @Scripps_Ocean @niwa_nz https://t.co/WnkiyqMd9G

Ever wondered about the importance of #biologicalcollections, and why museums and maintaining past samples is important? Check out our piece here:

A study led by @DecimaLab out of @niwa_nz highlights the impact salp’s fast sinking fecal pellets can have on carbon export. When salps are present the biological carbon pump is more efficient, sequestering atmospheric carbon to the ocean! #RVTangaroa https://t.co/E59S7DDUeD

Josefina Castellví (1935) fue la primera mujer en el mundo en dirigir una base antártica 🇦🇶

Pepita decía que en los hielos antárticos están escritas las vivencias del planeta y trabajó para que cientos de científicos nos revelasen algunos de estos secretos 🙋‍♀️🐧❄️

Salp 💩! Read all abt it 👇🏽

[Scripps Institution of Oceanography @Scripps_Ocean]

The 💩 produced by microscopic organisms called salps helps remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Learn more about Scripps oceanographer @LadyZooplankton's @NSF-funded research published in @Nature on the power of salp poop. ⬇️ #NSFStories @DecimaLab

So excited about this! 🥳 @AmandineSabadel 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[Scripps Institution of Oceanography @Scripps_Ocean]

Don't be scared of the ghost fish 👻 🐠—despite its haunting name, these helpful creatures act as the ocean's vacuum. Scripps biological oceanographer @LadyZooplankton shares more about how these fish are an important part of the carbon cycle. ⬇️

We’re hiring an Assistant Professor in Marine Animal Physiology at Scripps-UC San Diego!!! @Scripps_Ocean Ask here or DM if you have any questions https://t.co/dNxV0vT164

[Women and Minorities in Science at SIO @wmis_sio]

@Scripps_Ocean folks - join us TOMORROW at Surfside for a good old end-of-the-week TG! 🎉

Come learn about @wmis_sio and unwind with a beverage while watching the sun go down as we welcome the weekend!

Hope to see you there! 🥳
