Very proud to announce that I received my Ph.D. in chemistry from @UCB_Chemistry! 👨‍🎓 Thanks to all the family, friends, teachers, and mentors who helped me get to this point. Special thanks to many great collaborators, especially A. thaliana, C. reinhardtii, and N. oceanica 🍃🧪

👀 Have you ever seen with your own eyes chlorophyll fluorescence ? 🌱♨️

[Berkeley Plant & Microbial Biology @PMB_Berkeley]

Photoprotective memory in algae may help scientists develop more productive plants and improve crop yields, according to a new @BerkeleyLab study co-led by Professor Krishna Niyogi.

🚨Postdoctoral position
Do you have interest in how🌡️and☀️affect #CO2capture by plants at the sub-cellular level?
Do you want your research to inform global productivity under #climatechange?
Join us to study photosynthesis accros scales with @TheRosaLab @carnegiescience link 👇

Curious about the energetics of CO2 concentration mechanism?👀 Here is a comprehensive review and opinion on how it works in the diversity of microalgae 🦠👇

Great write-up about my boss and the exciting work going in our lab to probe the nanoscale dynamics of biological systems!

It was wonderful to visit @CarnegiePlants yesterday to share my work from @UCB_Chemistry on studying photoprotection in algae!! Thanks @aburlacot for hosting!

[Adrien Burlacot @aburlacot]

Very insightful talk by @CollinSteen at @carnegiescience @CarnegiePlants on photo protection at various time and space scales 👀🦠

[Alizée Malnoë @AlizeeMalnoe]

It's now published! Read it here: https://t.co/nYLtH5UuH0
Congrats @PierrickBru @CollinSteen & all co-authors! Thanks @PMB_Berkeley @BerkeleyLab @doescience @UmeaPlantSci @Vetenskapsradet @strategiskaSSF @MSCActions @jbiolchem

@TomPFay Congrats! Looking forward to reading this!

[Collin Steen @CollinSteen]

@PlantCellEnvir This was an extremely rewarding collaboration with a remarkable team of @aburlacot and Audrey Short! @UCB_Chemistry @PMB_Berkeley @CarnegiePlants @LBNLBioSci @UCB_Biophysics

[Collin Steen @CollinSteen]

Our Open Access paper on NPQ in Chlamydomonas 🦠 is out now in @PlantCellEnvir!!
We monitor the contributions of biochemical actors involved in energy dissipation (LHCSRs) and LHC antenna movement (state transitions) under fluctuating light conditions🌤🌗

Happy to see Tom’s @TomPFay latest with the Fleming group out in @JChemPhys this morning. Here he has invented a kinetic model that can explain how algae protect themselves from too much sunlight. @UCB_Chemistry https://t.co/gqhT2baY0H

[Collin Steen @CollinSteen]

Excited to see Audrey’s work on photoprotection in Nannochloropsis under fluctuating light🌤️ out now in a Special Issue of @JChemPhys, in collab w/ @limmerlab. Nanno is one of our favorite model algal species for in vivo studies of photosynthesis. https://t.co/7nIwrtl9Je

I wrote a behind the paper blog as an introduction to our latest paper out @NatureComms ! I even made a fun figure to go with it!
Check out the blog (https://t.co/g3wP4ZycoR) and the paper (https://t.co/HYTzoWG0aH) and the figure below! #scicomm #science #research
