New faces in @MicroSensing

Great fun at the 2025 DHL run 2 teams: KühlKids1 & KühkKids2

Great work Nikki👍

New paper alert 🚨 my 2nd PhD chapter has been published ‼️ Uncovering increased maximum oxyregulation capacity retained in corals transplanted from an extreme mangrove environment to a reef flat on the Great Barrier Reef🪸 doi.org/10.1016/j.envr…

I would bet that Don Bryant knew more about phototrophic physiology than anyone who has ever lived on Earth. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

I am thrilled to receive a Future Fellowship from @arc_gov_au. The project, "Understanding the role of microscale fluid dynamics in biology", aims to develop novel mathematical models and experimental tools for investigating microscopic fluid flows in biology. @SciMelb @UniMelb

@BrumleyLab @arc_gov_au @SciMelb @UniMelb Great news Doug - congrats👍 Looking forward to our continued collaboration.

Cyanobacteria are never alone in Nature. Which bacteria do they interact with and how? We describe a stable cyanobacterial community reproducibly forming spatial structure and document metabolic interactions/processes within. Read here to learn more: academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-…

📖Published📖 Pacherres et al. present a simple, modular experimental platform that enables spatial mapping of steady, laminar flow and O2 concentration fields over biological tissue surfaces in a 3D printed, laminar flow chamber 💨 Read the article 👇 buff.ly/RU93P2a

It was great to meet the @FlImagin3_DN team again and to see the impressive progress of all our PhD students.

#FluorescenceFriday the 3rd @FlImagin3_DN consortium in Milan! ~Halfway of PhD so many exciting directions in #FLIM #cancermechanics #diatoms #organoids #SPIM #FRET #heartrepair and more with @drmgmonaghan @Femtoscopist @MicroSensing @hang_zhouFLIM @melissa_skala @chiarellast ..

Take a look at our new article where we present a system to spatially map oxygen and flow fields around corals and algae 🪸@MicroSensing besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20… Thanks to @MSCActions @VILLUMscience @MooreFound

Thank you Joe Berry and @CarnegieEcology for hosting me for a wonderful visit and many inspiring discussions! carnegiescience.edu/events/microen…

Metatranscriptomics sheds light on 'who is doing what' in the coral Porites lutea biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

First preprint in 2025: #Metatranscriptomics sheds light on who is doing what in a #coral Great collaboration led by @kt_microbes @heroenv @LabVerbruggen @deepseacrepture @momedinamunoz @arc_gov_au @MooreFound biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thank you friends, colleagues, students and collaborators for the many nice interactions and accomplishments in 2024 @MicroSensing sends you best wishes for relaxing and merry xmas 🎅and a great 2025🍾Keep up the (team)spirit and good (team)work!

Congrats Dough👍
