Good Morning #aslo23 #Mastadon! 🌴

Interested in a #postdoc on #photosynthesis?
I will have TWO positions opening for applications very soon! 😃

1. #Marine and #aquatic (photo)physiology - #ClimateChange impacts from #brownification
➡️ #Mesocosm experiments
➡️ #Field validations

2. #Biophysics and #photonics - natural variability in algal light harvesting
➡️ #multiphysics #modelling
➡️ Single-cell #spectroscopy

#Virus control

This exciting new research explores the influence of #virus #infection in changing the balance of organic matter degradation between #bacteria and #eukaryotes in #marine #carboncycling during #phytoplankton blooms.

Based on #mesocosm studies, this research demonstrates how #viruses infecting different #microorganisms change community dynamics and the release and potential fate of marine carbon from primary production.

Big week scientifically !
Happy to share the latest paper from my stay in the Vardi lab, a great collab wt co-author Matti Gralka. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-36049-3
In 2018 we conducted a big #mesocosm experiment to explore the impact of #viralinfection in #phytoplankton blooms, on marine #microbial #ecosystems. Using a month-long #time course across 7 huge bags, we manage to disentangle how viruses can potentially affect #microbial succession and flow of #carbon in the #ocean. Small microbes, big impact!

Hey #salinization and #mesocosm lovers! @PabUrrCor@twitter.com and I are looking to form a group for this exciting #roadsalt experiment and we need a lead outside of Sweden. Get in touch with us if you are interested.
