What happens when an energetic postdoc (@zepernickbn.bsky.social) takes a class to a local quarry to learn to limnology? Science!! (and pets are protected). Nice work by Britt, team and colleagues from the Great Lakes Center for Fresh Waters & Human Health. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The ornithine-arginine cycle supported a toxic, metalimnic Planktothrix rubescens bloom

Planktothrix rubescens is distinct from other cyanobacterial harmful algal bloom (cHAB) genera: the crimson-red cHAB thrives in the cold, low-light, n…

Water is essential, but 1 in 3 people still lack access to safe drinking water. ASLO recently supported @agu.org and @asm.org in producing a report on how climate change fuels waterborne infections and how science can help. Check it out now: asm.org/reports/wate...

NOAA's #GreatLakes Environmental Research Lab will be taking an "indefinite hiatus" from communications due to staff cuts. GLERL communicates critical weekly updates about the extent of harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie - like the one that left my hometown of Toledo without drinking water in 2014

MIBiG is huge! This was such a great opportunity to work with world-class scientists on updating this repository, in particular @pmdagostino.bsky.social in the cyanobacterial biosynthesis world. Check out the 🧵 below...
