Ever heard of Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences or CUREs? C-CoMP is developing a few CUREs with institutional partners across the U.S. that investigate the ocean chemical-microbial network. Read more here: https://t.co/WGK24EYqGU! #STEMeducation #diversityinSTEM

🌊🦠🌎Happy #WorldOceansDay! We (@MicrobialPlanet) are thankful to investigate the complex chemical-microbe network within our ocean that helps govern the global carbon cycle! To celebrate, we share a captivating sunset scene taken close to @BIOSstation. Video by @Michelleofseas!

🪸🐠🧬🌊 Our new study led by @CynthiaBecker25 documents reef microbialization following disturbance using a 7-year eDNA time-series. Thanks to @NSF @NOAA @WHOI & The Tiffany Foundation for support & coauthors @lggray3 @JoelLopiz Aran Mooney https://t.co/tPavogXLSQ

Nothing says an academic “Happy Birthday” more than having a paper published on your birthday! 🎂 Check out our latest work highlighting how SW #microbes capture and predict #hurricane and disease #SCTLD impacts on USVI reefs:

#ASLO23 Poster alert! @Michelleofseas will be presenting her work on the large-scale metabolic evolution and niche partitioning of Alteromonas at poster #878 (session ss116). Michelle is applying to PhD programs this fall so this is an opportunity to meet a brilliant candidate!

🌊🦠Happy #WorldOceansDay from C-CoMP! On this day (and everyday), we (@MicrobialPlanet) are thankful for and fascinated by our #Oceans and the complex chemical-microbe network within them that helps govern the global carbon cycle!🦠🌊

Had a great time at #ASLO2023 yesterday presenting some of my thesis research on seawater #microbes during the #sctld #coral disease outbreak! Thanks to the wonderful @AmyApprill @lggray3 @JoelLlopiz and Aran Mooney! (📸: @JeanneBloomberg who has a coral talk today at 11:30!)
