Chemical Currencies of a Microbial Planet (C-CoMP)

We are a @NSF Science and Technology Center that explores how metabolite exchange through microbial networks impacts carbon cycling in the surface ocean

Had a fabulous time discussing microbes 🦠, metabolites, models, and ocean science education (& more!) at the 2026 C-CoMP Annual Meeting hosted @WHOI last week!
Here's to another year of investigating the surface ocean chemical-microbial network 🌊!

C-CoMP had a whale of a time teaching about microbes🦠 at the 2026 Woods Hole Science Stroll! For the 2nd year in a row, visitors imagined & visualized incredible adaptations of phytoplankton at our “Artistic Oceanographer” booth. Thanks to our volunteers & @DyhrmanLab for inspo!

Happy World Oceans Day from C-CoMP 🌊!
Take a moment today to reflect on the tiny yet mighty microbes 🦠 that provide and recycle life-supporting nutrients & support marine food webs, ensuring a vital and healthy ocean that we all depend on. #WorldOceansDay
