Congratulations to @ChilleErin for her paper on why genotype matters when studying coral stress responses (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…). You can hear the live version at @Evol_mtg. Congrats also to co-authors @timstep1383 Deeksha Misri @EmmaStrand4 and @HolliePutnam

What a pleasure to have Hwan Su Yoon from Sungkyunkwan University in S. Korea visiting us in New Jersey. His group is doing path-breaking, creative algal research. Our long-term collaboration has always been joyful and spirited.

Happy to have contributed to this excellent paper by @KEdougan in the group of @dorkyM that provides a model of how whole-genome duplication shaped evolution of the heat-tolerant coral algal symbiont, Durusdinium (science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…). Algae rock! Great work everyone.

We have an opening in my lab for a postdoc with expertise in algal/seaweed biotechnology, in particular, metabolic engineering and carbohydrate biochemistry, with some bioinformatics training. Email me at debash.bhattacharya@gmail.com, if this fits your background and aspirations

This paper was a lot of hard work, but worth it. We start to learn how Paulinella meets its CO2 needs in the chromatophore (enviromicro-journals.onlinel…). Congratulations Arwa G, @timstep1383 @JohnReinfelder @VickieCalatrava and Arthur G. @RutgersSEBS @RutgersNJAES @carnegiescience

Stoked to see that @DebashB and me became comic book characters in the new issue of @NASAAstrobio graphic novel! You will see a lot more familiar faces in this inspiring story about "How to become an Astrobiologist" issue 9 here: astrobiology.nasa.gov/resour…
