Today @ChilleErin and I presented at #Evol2024. Her talk was, “Gene expression response to physiological stress in two Hawaiian corals is dominated by ploidy and genotype” and mine was “Alignment-free phylogenetics to increase the value of environmental genomic data” @Evol_mtg

Great talks at the #Evol2024 meeting so far from the @DebashB lab (@timstep1383 and @g_panayotakis) and then from my college bff @KyleTheDavid in the @RokasLab giving a fantastic talk and accepting the @ASNAmNat Early Career award! It was a revelation. Congrats everyone!

Congratulations to @ChilleErin for her paper on why genotype matters when studying coral stress responses ( https://t.co/uPvLZlMbo9). 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.

It was great to have Hwan Su Yoon in our lab this week and to go Paulinella hunting with him in my hometown! Truly one of my role models and one of the best algal biologists ever!

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 ( https://t.co/R05eTu9Abg). Algae rock! Great work everyone.

Our work led by @KEDougan shows how genome duplication enhanced the efficiency of a #coral #algal #symbiont FINALLY out @ScienceAdvances! Fantastic collabs @ace_uq @UQ_SCMB @uts_c3 @FIU @aims_gov_au @BioSci_UniMelb @RutgersSEBS after years of hard work! https://t.co/HvbPOuqDq2

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 ( https://t.co/WEm00yTG4Y). Congratulations Arwa G, @timstep1383 @JohnReinfelder @VickieCalatrava and Arthur G. @RutgersSEBS @RutgersNJAES @carnegiescience

Day 3 of Paulinella field sampling and we’re up to 43 cells found, 6 environmental samples preserved for genomics, and 11 individual cells isolated to varying degrees. We’re on a roll and still have a full day ahead of us! @DebashB @timstep1383 @ChilleErin @SusanneRuemmele

Day 2 of Paulinella field sampling in North Carolina. So far we’ve found 22 cells and are hoping to isolate some of them, although this is proving very difficult. @DebashB @ChilleErin @timstep1383 @SusanneRuemmele

It’s been a strange 6 years in the @DebashB lab…
Congratulations Dr. Van Etten! An exciting future awaits. You have made your family and friends proud. @CouchMicroscopy @RutgersSEBS @NASA @RutgersNJAES @NSF
