Are you a researcher in 🇨🇦 interested in participating in a global-scale marine microbial biogeochemistry program @biogeoscapes to transform our understanding of ocean metabolism and nutrient cycles on a changing planet? Reach out to me!

Our contribution to @FrontMicrobiol Women in Microbiology special issue. We provide a framework for examining how microbial interactions underpin nutrient limitation in the ocean
Proud to announce the first chapter of my PhD thesis is now published! Here we (@MicrobialOcean and Insa R) propose a new category of nutrient co-limitation that acknowledges the interdependencies and exchange of essential nutrients in a community. 🎉tinyurl.com/yeh46vnm

First #planktoscope images coming through from the North West Atlantic!! Looks like we hit a sticky phaeocystis patch. #nwabcp @planktosquad @MicrobialOcean @LaRocheLab @MarineInst @PrakashLab @fabien_lombard @airseanuig

The National Research Vessel Task Team’s co-chairs have created a User Demand Survey about research ship time to better understand the needs of the Canadian research community. If you can contribute, please take this short survey. bit.ly/3L5c9hL

We just published a paper this week on using metaproteomics to quantify proteomic traits across different marine microbes - check it out! nature.com/articles/s41396-0… Also, here's the "Behind the Paper" @MicrobialOcean @andreweallen tinyurl.com/bktfmccv

Couldn't be prouder of Bertrand Lab PhD student @scottmccain5 and this exciting collaborative contribution out today in Science Advances!! A new approach combining metaproteomics and cellular modeling to learn about fundamental controls on phytoplankton growth in the ocean
Super excited to share one of my thesis chapters! We developed a proteomic allocation model of a diatom to study how protein expression is changed by trace metals (Fe and Mn) (1/6) advances.sciencemag.org/cont… @biogeoscapes @altagliabue @MicrobialOcean @andreweallen

First preprint :) We used metaproteomics to identify and quantify proteomic 'traits' of marine microbes in Antarctica, tackling various methods issues and showing that taxa are distinct with respect to these traits. Any and all feedback is welcome! @MicrobialOcean

A must read. Four actionable ideas, from four inspiring early career BIPOC researchers, to increase representation of and equity for BIPOC scholars
I've been working hard with @ArifSuchinta and @catalinaalbury on our new #equity and #diveristy in #STEM paper. What steps can powerful people and institutions in #academia do to promote representation and success of #BIPOC scholars? bit.ly/2OGXwcV
