The preprint for our #NASAEXPORTS paper on #microbial #respiration at in the North Pacific and Atlantic is available! We "watch microbes breathe" using frequent optode measurements. See how respiration dynamics in these systems affect the #biogeochemistry and #carbon cycle.
Global map showing locations of N. Pacific and N. Atlantic expeditions. Each site has an outset map with the monthly average chlorophyll a concentration and cruise track. The N. Pacific has low chlorophyll a (<0.2 mg per m-3) and the N. Atlantic is patchier with high chlorophyll a.

We describe a fairly stable, low activity system in the N. Pacific where most of gross primary production is respired. Using the modified assays in the Atlantic we describe trends across several size classes in a stormy system with dynamic biogeochemistry.

Today I licked the ocean and ate some hail. Also learned some things about biogeochemistry! #OCB2023

Thank you @NatGeo & @Disney for an unforgettable experience! @HalleBailey is a beautiful soul. Halle in this role means so much to so many & even more to those protecting our oceans. We couldn’t have asked for a better princess. Make sure to see #TheLittleMermaid this weekend!

Hey look, I'm defending next week! If you'd like a zoom link and you haven't gotten one yet - send me a message! PS I'm also on the job market, interested in science communication, microbial genetics, and bacterial genome evolution :) #PhD #biotech

As it’s #NationalBookMonth I am proud to say I’m officially a children’s book author! “My Secret Mermaid” is about a little black girl finding her connection with the sea through a trip to the aquarium. I’m so excited to share this after 2yrs. Link in my bio for more info🤗

We play this fun game with the ocean color wheel on our office door where someone sets it to synechococcus and I set it to literally anything else. 🎨🌎 Maybe I should make a heterotrophic bacteria wheel of my model organisms… 🦠 #MarineMicro #OceanColor #OfficeShenanigans
