A mind-bending week down in Exeter sorting snow algae @X_Cyto. Flow-cytometry is pretty far out. Good job Attila Bebes is an absolute wizard at it and @RaifYuecel runs an impeccable lab. Cheers for the stay! @scienceisnotfun @eco_snow #snowalgae #flowcytometry.
A brilliant week last week at @X_Cyto sorting mixed samples of Antarctic snow algae into single cell plates to understand species composition within blooms. A huge thanks to Attila Bebes and @RaifYuecel for their cytometric expertise! #snowalgae #flowcytometry #BigFoot

Brilliant few days! And great to chew things over face to face. Thanks Claudia and @monas_nivalis for hosting. I cannot wait to see those toys in action.
Prepping this week for snow algae physiology, drone mapping and reactor optimisation on our @eco_snow Antarctic snow algae project, great to meet up and thanks for pics @monas_nivalis @Friendly_Frond and Claudia @eco_snow @NERCscience @SAMSoceannews @NERC_FSF
