I'll still check in here, but updates will now be on Bluesky.
Looking forward to continuing the conversation in a new space.
Great days at #ISS2025 in Victoria 🇨🇦! We from @norduniversity, @AWI_de & @Roscoff to share our work. Anne Nilsen, Niko Steiner, Clément Gauci & Griffin Hill presented their PhDs #KELPRIME project, incl. Leo Minini’s work.
Great contacts, learning, & excursions.
Just deployed offspring from high- & low-#biofouled ##kelp!
We're quantifying heritability of fouling intensity—a crucial step toward fouling-resistant kelp for #aquaculture & #restoration.
Huge thanks to Polaralge AS, @kelpinorNO & the engaged students at Nord University!
Big congrats to Anne Nilsen on her article exploring the methylome of clonal seagrass shoots! 🌿 This work on Zostera marina offers valuable insights into age-related methylation, tissue differentiation, and stress memory. bit.ly/423W3Rw👏 #Epigenetics#SeagrassScience
🔬 Cell article on the evolutionary genomics of brown algae:
- Explosive genome evolution during early emergence
- Gene amplifications driving diversification
- Viral genome integrations shaping evolution

Huge thanks to Inka Bartsch & Andreas Wagner @AWI_Media for the #kelp clonal gametophyte isolation workshop! 🙌 Great learning & collaboration with colleagues from @NordUniversity, Polaralge, Kelpinor & @NIBIO. Exciting times for #KELPRIME & #DEFY projects! #Seaweed#research
#Kelp research alert! 🌊🌡️ Can we make kelp more resilient to rising sea temperatures? The first PhD paper of Clement Gauci shows promising results using thermal #priming to boost growth & heat tolerance in Saccharina latissima. int-res.com/articles/meps_oa…
🧬🌳 How does the environment shape evolution? New review article lead by @EwanHarney explores the interplay between the epigenome, genome, & environment, highlighting how epigenetic variation may drive rapid adaptation. #epigenetics#evolutiononlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Looking forward to present the results of our "Initiative towards sustainable #macroalgae#farming along European shores" at the Synergies workshop in Lisbon synergiesbiotech.com/
