#PhDstudent at @EawagResearch in the NarwaniLab, working on Competition in Freshwater Phytoplankton

[Elena Litchman @ElenaLitchman]

I am looking for a PhD student to start in fall of 2025 at MSU. Potential topics include trait-based approaches to plankton community resilience, temperature effects on communities, harmful algal blooms, etc . Please get in touch if interested. More info: https://t.co/GEuuT5KHDq.

[Sarah Levasseur @SaLevasseur]

I will be attending the @ESA_org conference in Long Beach this week!
If you are there too and want to hear about temperature dependence of resource competition in phytoplankton, please come to my talk, session COS 66 from 13:45-14:00 on Tuesday (6th Aug)

I went to my first GRS-GRC (Ecology Across Scales) with Pinelopi Ntetsika, it was awesome! We met so many great people who do really cool work! 🙌

@SaLevasseur is visiting @ElenaLitchman's lab! Her research blends experimental and computational methods to study freshwater phytoplankton's temp-dependent resource needs, with an aim to understand phytoplankton dynamics and succession in the context of climate change.

In this new paper, we quantified and compared the extent of warming-related community turnover (thermophilisation) in temperate freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems around the world. 🧵(1/7)

I am attending @Biology24Zurich and have my poster this morning (10:30-12:00) come see me to chat about #phytoplankton, #temperature and #resource interactions! In HG-D Süd poster D-S-F16! 🧪🧫

@citrulata Thank you!!

[Sarah Levasseur @SaLevasseur]

@ajtnarwani @aslo_org 100% serious! It was all fully planned ahead! 😂

[Sarah Levasseur @SaLevasseur]

From talks at #ASLO2023 to getting an Asterionella formosa, a Volvox aureus and a Coelastrum cambricum. #nerds #phytoplankton

@MajaIlicZg @aslo_org Thankkks! ☺️

[Sarah Levasseur @SaLevasseur]

This week I am at the #ASLO23 conference. Today, I will be presenting at 15h15 in the session SS091 Environmental variability in a multifactorial world. I invite you to come to see my talk in Sala Ibiza B (3rd floor)!

[Sarah Levasseur @SaLevasseur]

🚨Paper by Merz et al. 2023, reveal the effect of warming and nutrient levels on plankton network in 10 Swiss lakes. Those networks were inferred using long-term monitoring data and an equation-free modeling approach! #EwaMerz, @pomatifr, exciting paper! 🥳https://t.co/4n4wPTsTCl

[Mridul K Thomas @mridulkthomas]

Bas Ibelings (@MECO_UniGe) and I have a new PhD position available - please help us get the word out!

The project will study how temperature affects phytoplankton-parasite interactions and carbon fluxes, and will involve @DedmerW @JorritMesman and @alenagsell as collaborators.

@peterbonnesoeu @ClichesDeJigme @WineBottleClub @ternoa @Ternoa_ @ElrondHunters L’incompréhension la plus totale…! 😅😂

[Rebecca Oester @RebeccaOester]

What a great Eco PhD Symposium this year at @EawagResearch! Not only did 16 PhD students present their projects, but also 3 keynote speakers: Prof. Dr. Antoine Guisan (@ecospat_ch), Prof. Dr. David Aldridge and Dr. Francesca Cesari (@Fran_Cesari_ ).

[Sarah Levasseur @SaLevasseur]

Today was our #PhDSymposium at @EawagResearch. It was a great opportunity to hear about our fellow Ph.D. students’ work, and practice our presentation skills but also hear about great keynote speakers! Thanks to @Fran_Cesari_, Antoine Guisan and David Aldridge for coming!

[Sarah Levasseur @SaLevasseur]

Great paper, a lot of effort from Dr. Irene Gallego and @ajtnarwani! Have a look at this new article to read about #outdoor #mesocosms and Tilman’s RCT.

[Anita Narwani @ajtnarwani]

In this paper we aim to kick competition studies out of the lab and into complex, natural communities. We verify the utility of a trait-based predictive framework (Tilman's RCT) , AND we show that species minimum resource requirements (R*s) evolve! https://t.co/qWpI9PKtGv

If you are still at @intecol2022 you can see my poster on temperature dependence of light requirements in freshwater phytoplankton. Don’t hesitate to contact me for discussion!
