We are #hiring! Time to acknowledge that the research we are doing is to a large degree #datascience. Know anyone who might be interested? linkedin.com/jobs/view/3461… Universität Konstanz International Coral Reef Society ICRS Student & Early Career Chapter Molecular Ecology EvolDir ISME - International Society for Microbial Ecology

1/9 new works: 7 years ago we embarked to describe biodiversity of Pacific coral reefs w/ Tara Oceans Scientific using standardized sampling: 100,000km sailing, 3,000 dives, 50,000samples. Today we are happy to announce first outcomes, summary: nature.com/articles/s4146… Universität Konstanz

coral genetics is 'coming of age': 8 years ago we posited that SLC4gamma is key for coral skeletal formation nature.com/articles/srep0…; today Phillip Cleves lab knocked it out and confirmed our hypothesis pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… .. awesome work, congrats to all authors!

+++ Call for Action +++ We call everyone with access to 🪸reefs to observe, tag and report (non-)bleached corals of their local reefs during the anticipated event via globalcoralbleaching.com Please RT!! #seesomethingsaysomething Raquel Peixoto Christian R Voolstra International Coral Reef Society


We reviewed the role of host #pigments for #coral #photobiology Great teamwork led by Gabriel Ferreira with Elena Bollati MicroEcology Lab #gfp BEEP Moore Foundation frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Why are some corals so colourful? We took a deep dive into the role of coral pigments (#GFP) for physiology and photobiology in our new review! MicroEcology Lab Frontiers - Marine Science frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…


happy new year y'all! very happy w/ new pub Oxford Journals Bioinformatics "Coracle - a machine learning framework to identify bacteria associated with continuous variables" doi.org/10.1093/bioinf… using AI to identify bacteria relevant for host biology KAUST Universität Konstanz

many things happening, first things first: the children book I'm part of is out: "Kira Coral and the disappearing colors of the sea" .. more timely than ever following the announcement of 4th Global Coral Bleaching :( , still a story of realism and hope **! Universität Konstanz


Mit Nadine Zeller im SWR Science Talk über die weltweite Korallenbleiche und der ökologische Kollaps von Korallenriffökosystemen .. und was wir dagegen tun können/müssen! hier anschauen: lnkd.in/eMPXDfgw Universität Konstanz

Inspiring the Next Generation of Coral Guardians! 🪸 International Coral Reef Society President Christian R Voolstra contributed to a wonderful #children's #book on #coral bleaching awareness!


I love Thursday morning surprises: we got the cover of the August Issue of Nature Reviews Microbiology for our review on coral microbiomes. Thanks to all co-authors!!
