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. https://t.co/ZOlVJ5LNKm

#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

oooof!
Genetics: being able to understand the genome without technology or money Genomics: setting fire to money to generate increasingly pointless data

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?

Postdoc opportunity for someone who wants to use climate models to evaluate crazy ideas aimed at reducing the amount of climate change. https://t.co/Ffp3nP3iAe

We're still looking for a postdoc in metabolic modeling and culture-based validation. If it sounds like you, reach out to discuss! https://t.co/FrVb0AULGh

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: https://t.co/VMzSxgm6EN (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! 🥳
