🚨I’ll be joining @tamu_ocean as an Assistant Prof January 2023!!! 💻🔬🥼🧪🦠🌊🌋🕸🍔 Continuing my quest to figure out what marine microeuks are up to in our oceans. Get in touch if you want to join 😁 #oceanography #tamu #deepsea #microbes #ocean #newPI #phd #phdchat

For some years now the @delCampoLab has been studying the diversity of #protists within the #coral holobiont. I am happy to see this paper out in which we provide one of the first evidence that non-photosynthetic protists might play a role in coral's response to heat stress 🪸🦠
Really excited that this paper is finally out! We analyzed the prokaryotic and microeukaryotic portions of the Paramuricea clavata microbiome 🪸🦠and found that certain microeukaryotes were significantly correlated with host thermal stress sensitivity 🔥 ami-journals.onlinelibrary.w….

New preprint posted @biorxivpreprint! We know that microbial eukaryotes (#protists) are under-sequenced, so databases are incomplete. What does this mean for environmental #metaomic data? We explore this issue & introduce a new annotation method 🧬🔬💻🗃 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Loving every Axial Seamount seafloor view 😍 #protatax23 #basaltlife
Sunday's 4 am shift on this well organized and smoothly executed #Protatax23 cruise. Basalt, around N3 Vent, and Trevia Vent around the Axial Caldera. ROV Jason dive 1504

After ROV Jason gets back on deck, the action starts in the lab. It can be a long day-night of work, but it’s possible because of this excited, dedicated, and fun team! And lots of snacks.

We’re on our way to Axial Seamount! Lab is secured and tidy, protocols are proofread, and excited to see that seafloor

I have fresh farm-to-table 2000m deep seawater that has been concentrated AND some expertly cultured vent or vent-associated #microbes for a total of 3 different prey types 🧪🧪🧪😁

Now we get to be creative with how we design our experiments 📈 These FLP uptake experiments will help us measure the rate that deep sea protists eat vent microbes!

Despite finding a software glitch that was incorrectly converting longitude, I now have 16 dive + CTD targets in @unols MFP, 6 draft dive plans, & only 1,489 things to do before we meet the ship ! Hopefully gear & hazmats will arrive soon & maybe I'll relax... or not #protatax23

Couldn’t resist a chance to do another #PhytoPhriday post because a great paper by @beoceanminded_ & @RynearsonLab just came out in L&O!
They show that #diatoms in #NarragansettBay have maintained synchrony for multiple years despite warming waters:

Ready for Axial 2.0! ⛴️🌊🌋🦠 #protatax23 #deepsea
We ship our gear out (again!) this Friday so dive planning is fully underway. My office can’t contain it all!

It is PhD defense time, concluding my time in the @WHOI and @eapsMIT Joint Program with the amazing @AmyApprill! If you love #coral reefs 🪸 and or #microbes come watch via zoom or in person on April 12, at 10:30a EST. DM me for zoom registration.
