Never thought my hometown will appear on the front page of all newspapers like this 💔
The catastrophic natural disaster is not too surprising in this climate crisis. The political management though is simply disastrous.

This first genome-scale data for glacier algae suggests an Ancylonema-specific adaptation to the cryosphere, and sheds light on the genome evolution of land plants and Zygnematophyceae.

I'm happy to announce that our snow algae genome paper is out in G3 now!

This is one of the first high quality genome of snow algae, which was isolated from Svalbard😊

10,000+ people have signed the petition to #SaveObanChamber, thank you to everyone for your support. This petition will be passed to our local MP, MSP, & regional MSP to demonstrate the need for this facility to continue running, to support & protect divers on the West coast.

Observing chaos in the microcosm...just fascinating :)

This is a BIG week! Microlab is hosting the first CASP-ICE workshop, bringing together global leaders in snow/glacier algae research to standardise and innovate sampling methods. Watch this space!

Can't quite comprehend the decision made by the @nhs to pull funding from the Oban hyperbaric chamber. Diving on the west coast of Scotland just got more dangerous. Please sign the petition below and retweet.

Snow algae on a zero-g trip. They don't seem bothered at all 🤷🏽‍♂️ #snowalgae #astrobiology #microgravity

Snow algae to be born, patiently.

Today was alien lecture day for my astrobiology course. In person for the first time in three years ("in-alien" as they say in the rest of the galaxy). Always a good way to end, and to raise some questions about our assumptions on life and habitability.

All being well we will be on the new @BAS_News Antarctic new icebreaker this time next month as we start our @eco_snow polar snow algae and plant science @NERCscience research expedition, great new article here showcasing the ship https://t.co/OISDlezJUg @SAMSoceannews

Welcome to SAMS and @ThinkUHI!

Our four newest #postgraduate students have a start date in common, but their research could hardly be more different!

-Using AI to predict harmful algal blooms💻
-Distribution of Risso's dolphins🐬
-Climate change and MPAs🌡️
AND
-Algae in space🧪
