Such cool work!
Our work on cryptic infection of giant viruses was published today in @ScienceMagazine. We discovered a large virus hiding within a green algal genome producing virions. Collaborative effort spearheaded by Virginia Tech, @univmiami & NIOZ scientists. bit.ly/4lroSyC

#ExOIS is very happy to announce the publication of our Perspective article in @FrontiersIn on what next steps are needed to transparently and ethically advance research and our understanding on the potential of #OIF as a method of #mCDR. @WHOI whoi.edu/press-room/news-rel…

Democrats should introduce a gun control bill called the "The Donald Trump safety and gun control bill" and make republicans vote against it.

Great to be out in front of our scientific peers at this year's #OCB2024 Summer Workshop talking about #OIF and #mCDR. Good work Jessica! @Cafe_Thorium @FeiChai8 @smith8272 @kramakrishna247 @US_OCB @ExOIS_OceanIron
Jessica Drysdale gave a great overview of the objectives and activities of #ExOIS at the #OCB2024 Summer Workshop, and the need for the best science to find out if #OceanIronFertilization #OIF should be part of our #mCDR toolbox. Thank you @US_OCB for the pic and time to present!

#algalbbb 2024 is here! Conference starts today. Excited to be here in Clearwater, Florida to see everyone, talk to students and colleagues, and hear all the latest in the world of algal research
I'll be presenting a plenary talk at #AlgalBBB 2024 this year - it's exciting to see how much the algae industry has grown since I became involved with it during my PhD studies in 2008. Very honored to be attending this conference and excited to see algae colleagues! Who's going?

Glad to see this in @nytimes and glad this scientist found a solution that works for her. The dilemma is real, and unfortunately taking kids into the field is not an option for many of us. We need to keep thinking creatively about how to support (and retain) moms in the field.

Expeditions can be hard to maneuver as a mother & scientist. Intense & exciting to have my essay published in @nytimes exploring how Expeditions can be an Academic Act of Defiance Mapping fungi w/family @spununderground @nytopinion: tinyurl.com/5adc5cwf (photo 2011, Kenya)

A grad student in my group received a wonderful local small grant today in support of their research, and it feels so great to be able to celebrate the wins sometimes! 🥳
