Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research

The board of directors of the Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research decided on Monday, Nov 27th, 2023 to suspend its activity on X (Twitter). We invite our followers to visit us on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Did you know… Foraminifers exhibit a wide diversity of feeding and behavioral strategies, including kleptoplastidy, where they retain intact functional chloroplasts from their microalgal food source? This #foramfact on #foramfriday has been created by Guillem Mateu Vicens

The Foundation´s board of directors condemns any kind of antisemitic and discriminatory agenda. Therefore, we will stop sharing our announcements on this platform until X better aligns with the Foundation´s values.

In this way, he helped numerous foraminiferal experts and students conduct higher-quality research and educate them about foraminifera.

For his contributions to the study of foraminifera through his exceptional work publishing and editing, particularly of The Catalogue of Foraminifera and the journal Micropaleontology.

The Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research occasionally awards people who have provided outstanding service to the Foundation or to foraminiferal researchers or educators. This year the award was given to John A. Van Couvering (1931-2023)

She also studies evidence of wildfires at the PETM through microscopic charcoal analyses. She moved into younger timescales and is involved in project assessing the impact of diagenetic bias on MIS 3 sea-level reconstructions based on deep-sea benthic foram. stable isotopes.

She is currently interested in evaluating the response of benthic and planktonic foraminifera to early Eocene post-PETM hyperthermal events through potential changes in assemblages and foraminiferal stable isotopes from sites along the US mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain.

Meet Megan Fung. The Cushman Foundation For Foraminiferal Research Board elected Megan to become a new Board Director starting 2024 She primarily studies shallow-water Eocene #benthic and #planktonic #foraminifera.

@BialikOr What a beauty!

These things are fascinating... but so fragile. During expedition #SO292 we could see many of them on the seafloor around the Queensland Plateau, but never managed to recover any of them with the tools we had.

@DiatomsATTACK @jy_suarezibarra Awwww 💖

Our TMS @MicropalaeoSoc friends are having a great meeting.

A great #foramfriday to everyone

What about having a foram with you wherever you go? Pass by and get your keyring with @jfabrombacher #TMS23
