Delighted to share our latest work published in Science Advances - led by PhD student Sophie Zweifel, this study characterises a new life phase in coccolithophores and opens up our understanding of the complex microbial interactions driving algae blooms

Excited to share a new preprint out today - how the coccosphere protects algae from bacterial attack! This work was led by Sophie Zweifel, a talented PhD student within the StockerLab, and represents the latest chapter in her doctoral journey!

A fantastic week at Physics of Life 2025 in Harrogate, finally reconnecting with the UK research scene for the first time since I left in 2019. Coming away with the early career presentation prize was a nice cherry on the cake!

Delighted to announce the first of my works from Tufts University has been published as an Editors' Suggestion in Physical Review Fluids! We applied modal analysis to unravel the flow structures underlying active turbulence, for full details see here! richardjhenshaw.com/2023/02/…
