@OfficialJLD Awesome!

The start of an exciting project with our many collaborators on converting waste Sargassum seaweed into bioproducts of value. The work is funded by Schmidt Sciences and is described here: rutgers.edu/news/scientist…

@DebashB @CouchMicroscopy @timstep1383 @ChilleErin @ShriniNandi @g_panayotakis @KaseyH210 That looks like a lot of fun!! Jersey Shore?

Who doesn't love a beach retreat? dblab folks @CouchMicroscopy @timstep1383 @ChilleErin @ShriniNandi @g_panayotakis @KaseyH210 take a break after discussing future projects. Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone!

Congratulations to @ChilleErin for her paper on why genotype matters when studying coral stress responses (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…). You can hear the live version at @Evol_mtg. Congrats also to co-authors @timstep1383 Deeksha Misri @EmmaStrand4 and @HolliePutnam

What a pleasure to have Hwan Su Yoon from Sungkyunkwan University in S. Korea visiting us in New Jersey. His group is doing path-breaking, creative algal research. Our long-term collaboration has always been joyful and spirited.

Happy to have contributed to this excellent paper by @KEdougan in the group of @dorkyM that provides a model of how whole-genome duplication shaped evolution of the heat-tolerant coral algal symbiont, Durusdinium (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…). Algae rock! Great work everyone.

An amazing experience presenting the awesome work we do at @DebashB lab in collaboration with AIMS, at BMC 2024. ##BenMicrobesMtg @timstep1383 @ChilleErin @SamanthaGoyen

Our work led by @KEDougan shows how genome duplication enhanced the efficiency of a #coral #algal #symbiont FINALLY out @ScienceAdvances! Fantastic collabs @ace_uq @UQ_SCMB @uts_c3 @FIU @aims_gov_au @BioSci_UniMelb @RutgersSEBS after years of hard work! doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…

@julien_tmx Breakdown of Sargassum fucoidan and alginic acid, mostly, working with engineering and protein structure team

@DebashB Are you working on polysaccharides?

We have an opening in my lab for a postdoc with expertise in algal/seaweed biotechnology, in particular, metabolic engineering and carbohydrate biochemistry, with some bioinformatics training. Email me at debash.bhattacharya@gmail.com, if this fits your background and aspirations

@CouchMicroscopy Thanks J!

Our heartfelt thanks to collaborators at the Marine Innovation Hub and Fundemar (@Fundemardr) in the Dominican Republic for organizing our recent research visit and building an exciting coral reef conservation program together. We had a great time! @RutgersSEBS @RutgersNB

This paper was a lot of hard work, but worth it. We start to learn how Paulinella meets its CO2 needs in the chromatophore (…icro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…). Congratulations Arwa G, @timstep1383 @JohnReinfelder @VickieCalatrava and Arthur G. @RutgersSEBS @RutgersNJAES @carnegiescience

@andrewjroger @CouchMicroscopy @RutgersSEBS @NASA @RutgersNJAES @NSF Thanks Dr. R!

@DebashB @CouchMicroscopy @RutgersSEBS @NASA @RutgersNJAES @NSF Congratulations Dr. Van Etten and Dr. Bhattacharya!!!

Congratulations Dr. Van Etten! An exciting future awaits. You have made your family and friends proud. @CouchMicroscopy @RutgersSEBS @NASA @RutgersNJAES @NSF

@CouchMicroscopy Strange yes, but also a lot of fun.

Our new work led by @YibiChen_Sci revealed conserved #RNA editing pattern in #dinoflagellates related to stress response, out @FrontiersIn Protistology today. @KEDougan @DebashB @ace_uq @RutgersSEBS The long+rigorous peer-review process has been helpful! doi.org/10.3389/frpro.…

Stoked to see that @DebashB and me became comic book characters in the new issue of @NASAAstrobio graphic novel! You will see a lot more familiar faces in this inspiring story about "How to become an Astrobiologist" issue 9 here: astrobiology.nasa.gov/resources/grap…
