Thank you @PerrinAbi and Richard Dorrell for such a pertinent paper. A beautiful and challenging read - as scientists how can we pursue relevant protistology reseach in a purposeful way.
"Protists and protistology in the Anthropocene: challenges for a climate and ecological crisis". New #openaccess Review from @PerrinAbi and Richard Dorrell.

Well, it seems I am officially a published scientist 🥳🙌🏻👩🏻💻 Thanks @mackinderlab and team for supporting me! .This work on diatom pyrenoids is interesting and exciting - definitely take a look (especially figure 4b 😉) .@CellCellPress.
A blueprint of the diatom pyrenoid reveals a Rubisco encapsulating protein Shell is critical for CO2 fixation. Is it essential for global NPP? Congrats to @OnyouNam,@james_r_barrett,@ItsCarolineMck,@JNB_lab + great collab with @DemulderManon,@bengeliscious.

Happy #WorldSeaweedDay 🌊🥳.Always good to celebrate our macroalgal friends.
🎉🌊 Happy #WorldSeaweedDay, let's roll out the green carpet for our ocean's incredible algae!. From #superfoods to eco-friendly products, seaweed is the unsung hero of the ocean. What's your favorite seaweed product?. #EU4Algae

Small but mighty! .Phytoplankton - 'the world's most unknown climate hero'.
Phytoplankton are a vital part of the ocean's system regulating climate change. 🦠💪. These tiny plant-like #plankton 'breathe in' carbon and 'breathe out' oxygen. Here's 4⃣ of the main types:.🔴Diatoms.🟡Flagellates.🔵Synechococcus.🟢Prochlorococcus. 📽️@NASA /MIT Darwin Project

Anthropocene = the current period in which humans have had a large influence over the status and trajectory of earth's climate and environment. Foundation species = critical species which define much of the structure of a community.
