New study reveals surprising twists in #dinoflagellate evolution! Photosynthesis lost 21 times, novel bacterially-derived histone-like proteins (HLPs) & several independent acquisitions of kleptoplastic species. Congrats @weeseamonsters & all authors! #Evolution #protists

💯 Someone asked me why was I moving back to Spain after my PhD in NY, when there are so many more opportunities in science over there… I replied “If I live in NY I can’t have a coffee with my mom whenever I want”

Sci Hub is a "pirate" website with 88M research papers freely available.

Using it is not advisable. We should all try to make billion-dollar acdemic publishers richer.

Here's a thread on integrating Zotero with Sci Hub to get free articles.

PLEASE DON'T DO THIS 😉

Coolest paper of the year?

"Copepods, the most abundant zooplankton in the oceans, imprint seawater with unique polar lipids—copepodamides—which trigger toxin production and..."

Heading to your local swimming hole 🏊‍♀️ this summer? Keep an eye out for harmful algal blooms (#HABs) before you canon ball!

We're using science to understand how #ClimateChange might impact the occurrence of these toxic blooms: https://t.co/GGgHoO5CMj

Happy 4th of July! Be safe on the water and learn the difference between HAB's and Algal Blooms. When in doubt, stay out!

Excited to share the results from this HAB project we've been working on! "Simulated upwelling and marine heatwave events promote similar growth rates but differential domoic acid toxicity in Pseudo-nitzschia australis" https://t.co/C7OxcFCHx3
