Experimental biophysicist studying how microscale microbial interactions drive emergent phenomena on the macroscale.

Delighted to share our latest work published in Science Advances - led by PhD student Sophie Zweifel, this study characterises a new life phase in coccolithophores and opens up our understanding of the complex microbial interactions driving algae blooms

Excited to share a new preprint out today - how the coccosphere protects algae from bacterial attack! This work was led by Sophie Zweifel, a talented PhD student within the StockerLab, and represents the latest chapter in her doctoral journey!

A fantastic week at Physics of Life 2025 in Harrogate, finally reconnecting with the UK research scene for the first time since I left in 2019. Coming away with the early career presentation prize was a nice cherry on the cake!

Extremely proud to share my latest publication out today in Nature Microbiology - asking the question what happens when algae get sick?

[Richard J. Henshaw @HenshawLab]

Delighted to announce a pair of upcoming talks - firstly with @PhysRevFluids on our recent active turbulence paper, then the following day I'll be talking about some recent work on marine viral infections as part of the microscale ocean biophysics series! https://t.co/XcD02AiHND

[Richard J. Henshaw @HenshawLab]

Delighted to announce the first of my works from Tufts University has been published as an Editors' Suggestion in Physical Review Fluids! We applied modal analysis to unravel the flow structures underlying active turbulence, for full details see here! https://t.co/NLVpExSdnY

@laflammerouge16 Didn't orica green edge have a tdf(?) With like 2 riders left?

[Richard J. Henshaw @HenshawLab]

First academic event as a postdoc and in the States - 81st New England Workshop on Complex Fluids!

[Richard J. Henshaw @HenshawLab]

@Cyclocosm Gotta feel for Soler, he was the only movistar rider at the TdF who actually rode for the team, and look how that was rewarded today

[Richard J. Henshaw @HenshawLab]

@WarwickCAMDU thank you for your help with it!!

[Richard J. Henshaw @HenshawLab]
