Thrilled to kickstart the @embo.org practical course on metabolite & microbial communities, in @embl.org & Bangalore. After 2 years working on Kefir, we now explore marine microbial interactions 🤩 with support from the @roscoff-collection.bsky.social; 1rst lecture by Marine Vallet #EMBOMicroCom

Exactly 10 yrs after defending my PhD with @taraoceans-science.bsky.social here we are with the lab celebrating 10 yrs of Tara enabled science at home in @embl.org surrounded by some of my scientific heroes and legends in the field. Scientific community is everything🌊 #EMBLPlanktonDiscoveries

So a big day for #microeukaryote #imaging. To finish "en beaute" a small video to share the behind the scenes of this first work. Such an exciting time to be a #marine #microbiologist !!

This was led by @serenaflori.bsky.social, @fmikus.bsky.social and @eliottflaum.bsky.social, with fantastic collaborators from @embl.org @yschwab.bsky.social, TREC teams @nikobiota.bsky.social and beyond @dudinlab.bsky.social and will hopefully accelerate future research in diatom cell biology 2/n

Exciting day for the lab: our 1rst paper is officially out in @currentbiology.bsky.social 🥳 Wonderful collaboration wt @gautamdey.bsky.social showing how Cryo-ExM achieves consistent immunostaining in diverse diatoms, from the lab and the natural environment 1/n #ProtistsOnSky tinyurl.com/2zxaund7

A small piece with PhD student @sorayazwahlen.bsky.social and Wiebe Kooistra on why we think Chaetoceros is an emerging model system for phytoplankton research, ranging from its ecological role, to unique cellular features and - of course - its many symbiotic interactions in the marine microbiome.

So good to reconnect with the adrenaline of field work. My guilty pleasure as a PI is to keep this happening to make sure you never go too far from the initial Pasión. Mesocosm experiments simulating impact of marine heat waves on marine microbial interactions in Vigo. @embl.org #UnivVigo

A huge thx to @vibtrainconf.bsky.social for this #MLD8 full of diatom geeks. Such a beautiful community & really phenomenal science. @serenaflori.bsky.social could present her latest preprint & I updated the diatom folks on how we make Chaetoceros a good model for phytoplankton symbiosis research !

A new day starts at #MLD8 in Ghent 🐑🐑

Excited to share the lab's 1rst preprint! Rapid high-res immunofluorescence is now possible in cultured & environmental diatoms thanks to 4-fold expansion microscopy. A step-change for comparative cell biology in one of the most important phytoplankton groups on the planet 🥳 tinyurl.com/m9s5su7s 1/2

@embl.org crew at @embo.org workshop on #EMBOClimateResilience After a day of intense talks, now comes the active brainstorming part to actually come up with concrete steps forward to create more bonds between cell biology and planetary science.

From one @embo.org meeting into another … First of its own workshop bringing together scientists, funding agencies, key stakeholders to tackle scales and climate resilience. Fun fact: I took that SEM picture during my PhD, @taraoceans-science.bsky.social sample ;) #planetary #health

Absolutely phenomenal week for the #EESWildModels. A pure celebration of biological wonders, and incredibly engaged participants. Thanks to all the co-organizers and @events.embl.org for making this possible ! See you in 2027 ? (please fill the feedback form)

The one and only Margaret McFall-Ngai on pioneering a new model system. Couldn’t be more on spot ! #EESWildModels

On your way to building the next generation Plankton Mandala. Christian Sardet will be excited !! Excited to see more marine bugs expand !!

If you’re in Paris… Run to 104 !! Full immersion in the world of arts and science, built by dozens of artists that have embarked on the Tara schooner. Special crush for Maki Okhojima and Antoine Bertin with whom I had so much fun onboard (including seasickness 🙃)
