A four-panel comic featuring a small black cat sitting in a soft, dreamy landscape beneath a blue sky. As the panels progress, the cat’s expression changes from calm to increasingly wide-eyed. The text across the panels reads: “I wish your August is full of the things that make you happy.” The final panel shows the cat with enormous, sparkling eyes, adding a sweet and hopeful feeling to the message. The artwork has a gentle, textured, hand-drawn style with pastel blue, green, and pink tones in the background.

Happy #PhycologyFriday! These are some Lympha mucosa gametophytes we caught floating downstream a while back. Typically attached to stream bottom but with heavy rains were detached and dispersing. Lovely freshwater #redalgae
Lympha mucosa a freshwater red alga. Although Rhodophyta they are blue green in color due to phycocyanin.

Excited to share our latest preprint on #PhycologyFriday. We map out the carbon fixation pathway for the first time in a multicellular alga, the green seaweed Ulva, and reveal a unique Rubisco-Linker interaction in the pyrenoid, a chloroplast condensate. Below I summarize some key points. #seaweeds

Another #rockpool #seaweed that belongs taxonomically plants, but which looks like coral, is this coralline red #alga. Like pink forms below, needs microscopy to identify to species. I find variety of these algal life-forms astonishing, and often strikingly beautiful. Port nam Murrach, near Arisaig.

Photograph of a generic white guy with a beard and dressed in black. He is stood in front of a light brown cliff of layered rock. There is a bulbous layered stromatolite fossil microbial growth next to his head. The guy is doing double thumbs up. He is very excited.
