I published something not related to plastid evolution!! Diving deep into the transcriptional changes of a marine green alga during nutrient limitation, I found some surprises involving tRNA modifications and codon usage doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msad2…

We will re-advertise this #PhD project. Project start date: October 2023. Get in touch if you are interested in polar #diatoms, #metals, #climate change and #evolution. This time, applications only from U.K. residents will be considered (Not my rules). #Arctic #SeaIce @ueaenv

Fully funded #PhD studentship in my group! The main aim of this project is to produce the first molecular genetics and biochemical data on the role of zinc in the physiological adaptation of cold-adapted #diatoms. @ueaenv @GLWheeler2 Deadline: Jan/11/23 aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships…

Can’t believe how badly immigration treated a graduate student, a bunch of male officers interrogating her on and off for 24 hrs, 5 of them!!! They took all her PhD data (on ocean algae!), computer…wouldn’t give me any access to check in her…incredibly sad day for America

Didn’t even allow a translator for this foreign student when she requested one!!! What is US immigration trying to accomplish? And they don’t even understand that oceanography uses ships, and little ol’ scientists don’t own ships, govt.’s do, hence ships have natl. flags.

Just here at Logan after immigration detained our student and wouldn’t even let us have contact, even though she has the same entry authorization as another student she was traveling with.

My editorial is kicking off a new series of perspective papers @JPhycology to provide insights into the latest developments of algal models for addressing fundamental questions in #biology. We will have ca. 2 papers per issue in volume 59 (2023). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Enjoyed working this week with next gen scientists in our @GEOMAR_en marine micro practical with @ute_hentschel examining the great plate anomaly via microscopy, flow and plating! Wow the non marine test plate of a public scooter handle was scary! (Marine were beautiful 😉)

Was fun helping the @BBC team to produce the footage shown in episode II. We show sea-ice #diatoms (and copepods) attached to ice crystals in a sea-ice chamber. Credits to Robert Utting and Maria Luisa Sánchez Montes from our lab for helping with the diatom cultures! @ueaenv
ICYMI: Amazing new footage of @ueaenv's algae in ep 2 of #FrozenPlanet2 shows for the first time how microalgae freeze in sea ice & are released into the water once melting starts. From 20' 30" 🦠🌊❄️ @BBCEarth @Th_Mock @uniofeastanglia @ClimateUEA_ bddy.me/3LGI2za

My lab @SystBio_UU is hiring, several positions (two PhDs and one postdoc) available in connection with the @ERC_Research CoG PlastidOrigin. Links to the ads and information here: burki-lab.net/news/we-are-hi… I would greatly appreciate sharing broadly this information, many thanks
