Like #protists, #mitochondria, #evolution? Hate oxygen? Us too! Come join us as a PhD student as part of our #tango2lund project funded by @ERC_Research. Details about the position and how to apply: thelabupstairs.online/open-positions/
You have heard of the #haptophyte alga #Prymnesium parvum and how it causes massive fish kills? We just resolved the genome, revealing the genetic basis of its toxins: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
💡Single-cell sequencing proves its worth in unravelling #protist #endosymbionts! Kudos to Metody Hollender, @MartaSalek1, and @MichalKarlicki for comparing bulk DNA to single-cell sequencing and unveiling Grellia alia as endosymbiont of Eutrpetiella🧬🦠👇sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
We've just published this. The endangered freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) is affected by a novel gregarine parasite associated with mass mortality events onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/je…
Job alert (pls RT): an exciting #PhDposition in evolutionary microbiology available in my lab at @UU_University! Help us study the evolution of early intracellular bacteria and what they can tell us about their first hosts. Apply before April 8th. uu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…
I am officially looking for a PhD student to work with me on questions regarding the evolution of lichens algal partners. I would be really grateful if you can help me spread the add as far as possible. jobb.uu.se/details/?posit… #PhD #lichens #photobionts #jobsearch
Looking for a postdoc willing to apply for a Juan de la Cierva fellowship at @ICMCSIC to work on gene expression of heterotrophic protists. Experience in transcriptomics and functional genes is appreciated. DM/email me if interested. Only for people who got the PhD in 2022-2023.
🚨PhD opportunity🚨. Want to use biophysics to understand how algae🦠 swim in snow❄️, coupling to climate change? I have a fully-funded @ONEPlanetDTP project to study this in collaboration with @mjsandells @scienceisnotfun & @xanthellaltd. Do get in touch! tinyurl.com/snowalg
This is what a #protist tantrum looks like (from a student’s well)
Excited about #polar research, bioinformatics and machine learning? Come and do your #PhD with us as part of @MOSAiCArctic in collaboration with Vincent Moulton @OceanFMonteiro @richardmleggett @ARIES_DTP @ueaenv Closing date: 10th January 2024 aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/m…
Sounds like a great idea! Thanks for initiating this. Looking forward to joining Stupid Question Fridays, my lab notebook is full of them ;)

Tried baking muffins to take a break from lab work: Ended up adding 2 tablespoons of baking powder instead of teaspoons, its my PCR all over again!
I had a great time in Barcelona! Many thanks to @balkalarre and the BEAP lab for hosting me and sharing their amazing science. Learnt so much! Ps: Couldn’t have asked for a better sampling location 😉 @fburki @ERC_Research project PlastidOrigin

Please share and comment! I think I found something interesting. Has somebody ever seen such "attachments" on #flagella of #eukaryotes #protists? I searched for this organism for years, and now I do have a culture. Comments and ideas are very welcome! @protists
