Chytrid fungi host an impressive suite of chitinases to degrade chitin - a complex but common polysaccharide & component of organic particles in freshwater and marine systems - nice work showcasing the molecular machinery of fungi which can degrade chitin-rich particles! 🦐

Look at the little bacteria cloud ☁️👀 *extracted bacteria from poop using nycodenz

Go Manish!

Bit gloomy but got to sample at the pier again!

We’re going to miss you Oriane Moyne ! I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor and post-doc to work with❤️

Another sampling day 🌊

Day 1 of the Zengler lab retreat! 🇲🇽

Day 2- mangroves and lab meeting! 🇲🇽

Day 3 of the lab retreat- Cenotes and Maya ruins 🇲🇽

Day 5- Cenotes and team bonding! 🇲🇽

Day 6- A party to thank Karsten! 🇲🇽🥳

Day 7- Ojo de Agua 🇲🇽

Novel insights into diatom biology could change our understanding of the global carbon cycle. Thrilled to share our latest publication in Science Advances. Paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. In the news: today.ucsd.edu/story/diatom-s…. Chloe Lieng Mahmoud Al-Bassam

Bacteria that turn water into ice❄️ 🔬 Pseudomonas syringae contains special surface proteins that act like scaffolds for ice nucleation! #science #research #microbiology #biochemistry

Hey San Diego - Nucleate San Diego is hosting TWO info sessions for the activator program in September! Come check us out!

Very helpful! But consider colorblind-friendly color palettes 🎨 ggpubfigs only supports colorblind-friendly color palettes, so it is something users don't even need to think about :D github.com/JLSteenwyk/ggp… x.com/tangming2005/s…

Thrilled to share my latest publication in the Journal of Biological Chemistry! 🎉We’ve developed a human lectin array to explore how innate immune receptors interact with both pathogenic and commensal microbes. Read it here: Imperial College London jbc.org/article/S0021-…
