PRIMROSE is an #EU @interregeurope project aiming to improve forecasts of Western European harmful #algae blooms in #aquaculture from Shetland to Canary Islands
📢Calling all #undergraduates - have you made your plans for this summer?
Last call for applications to our three @SUPERDTP1 paid internships on the fantastic topics of #eDNA, #photogrammetry and snow #algae!
DEADLINE THIS FRIDAY!

Recently published, The Marine #Microbiome, the only scientific book publication on the topic.
PRIMROSE researcher Marcos Mateus has contributed a chapter on marine viruses.

Look at this! Hitchhiking algae. Among the plankton is this copepod with an epizoic diatom bloom growing upon its body. But, what is the relationship? @zeiss_micro
PhD student Ellie Murphy created this amazing, intricate Christmas tree using marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. This model species is used frequently in our labs notably to investigate cellular mechanisms using molecular techniques like crispr-cas9 gene editing @thembauk
Still a few places available!
Algaculture for Biotechnology: online course, 9-10 Feb 2022
Aimed at students, technicians, early career researchers, industry professionals & algae enthusiasts, covers microalgae biology, culture & biotechnology.

Thats great @CPRSurvey@thembauk to have Prof. Reid to speak on the evolution of the CPR and its datasets to celebrate the last 90 years! Looking forward to it! #CPR90
We've just finalised & made available all 2019 CPR data! This is a phenomenal achievement; #Covid19 forced many labs to pause sampling efforts, but thanks to support from the intl. shipping community & huge efforts from the CPR Survey team, the Survey continued uninterrupted!
📢New paper out by @Joanna_Kershaw, Silje-Kristin Jensen et al on toxins from harmful algae in fish from Scottish waters. Access here: https://t.co/wk3qLPJb9I. @univofstandrews@PlymUni @NAFCShetland @USFWSAlaska Marine Laboratory @marinescotland @CefasGovUK@SAMSoceannews
Project leader @Crimsonestra summing up the project successes and looking to the future of #HAB#forecasting:
"We're entering into a very important time where we can start mining data and using it to our advantage in predicting harmful algal blooms."
Our final project meeting is underway.
The team will be presenting on how we have established more readily available #HAB forecasting tools for industry and academia, while increasing our knowledge of HAB events.

"Data services has been a key concept of PRIMROSE," says @PeterIMiller.
The project has produced a series of interface services that can be used across nations of western #Europe.
🔬The HABscope, developed by NOAA with funding from NASA, consists of a #microscope with an iPod attached, embedded with artificially intelligent software to identify the swimming pattern of the #phytoplankton Karenia. 🌊 @nuigalway #Marine#Algalbloom https://t.co/qS786df5mr
Our partner institute @SAMSoceannews is deploying a FlowCytobot off Shetland. The device photographs algae and through machine learning can identify certain types.
The technology could be a game changer for #HABForecast and #harmfulalgae research.
#Innovation to improve algal bloom forecasting
The FlowCytobot device is being developed to detect early warnings of harmful bloom formations, simply by taking a photo 📸
It uses similar tech to facial recognition software
