A late announcement, but...

Super excited to announce I'll be joining the Morales-Williams Lab (@mindym1101) at the University of Vermont for my PhD in Spring 2023! A dream project with a dream team 👩‍🔬

Happy #worldalgaeday!

At this point I should just make this a Chrysophyte fan account. Dinobryons 4eva.

This is really a stunning paper.

Cyanobacteria exposed to shorter days (in the lab) "rewire" their membrane lipids to anticipate cold weather.

When those cells are plunged into cold water, they have "two or three-times higher survival" than cells exposed to longer days.

2024 Ecological Restoration (ENSC 4010) service-learning class project completed! One of the most complex we’ve attempted …and one of the most successful. #restoration @UVM_RSENR

Field work vibes for this summer have been set. Come on Barbie, let's get algae

[Rachel C. @Micro_Rachel]

I've had an amazing time talking about my favorite topic (aka stochastic disturbance effects on #phytoplankton phenology) with so many incredible scientists, students, and colleagues the last few months.

Special thank you to #NAB2024 and #UVMSRC for having me this semester!

𝚷ℼℿ𝛑 Happy #PiDay! In honor of everyone’s favorite non-terminating decimal number, the best minds in WHOI Creative came up with these pie charts to help explain the complex system that is the ocean.

Now that's solved, we can all eat pie 😆
