🎉Out today @pnas.org the amazing work of Jon Doenier between our group, and Ellen Yeh's reveals one of the most important proteins that help diatoms, and many phytoplankton survive dynamic oceanic conditions 👇☀️🌥️☀️🌦️ www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🎉🚨Big announcement! My lab is moving to the @caltech.edu campus this summer! We'll be recruiting at all levels and are already looking for a lab manager to help us set up the lab 🧪🥼👀. If you're dynamic, ready for new challenges, 👇apply 👇 jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/carneg...

How is the CCM influencing the response to nitrogen deprivation? 🤔 In this preprint led by Evan Saldivar in collaboration with @rheelab.bsky.social , we reveal that in cyanobacteria🦠, the CCM is required for rapidly responding to dynamic nitrogen concentrations👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

So glad 🥳 to see this work led by Felix Buchert and Michael Hippler out in Nature Plant@natureportfolio.nature.com ! 🥳This work shows new residues of cytochrome b6f, which are critical to electron transport and state transition during photosynthesis ☀️👀 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The amino terminus of PetD is essential for cytochrome b6 f function and the negative feedback control of STT7 kinase - Nature Plants

This study reveals that the cytochrome b6f subunit PetD regulates the STT7 kinase. In particular, the N terminus is required for kinase activation, while Thr4 phosphorylation provides feedback that im...

📣The American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB) is pleased to announce the recipients of its 2026 awards! Please join ASPB in celebrating this year’s award winners. Congratulations to all!👏https://buff.ly/V8zYMbk. #Plantscience

Evan Saldivar defended his PhD on cyanobacteria with brilliance🎉🍾 I am so proud of what he has accomplished with us and Sue Rhee's lab ! Soon we'll share his discoveries on nitrogen and CO2 interaction, stay tuned ! 👀 @carnegiescience.bsky.social @stanfordpress.bsky.social

🍃 Invited Speakers 🍃 photosynthesis2026.com Regulation of Electron Transport - molecular mechanisms 🌿 Tomas Morosinotto, University of Padova 🌿 Adrien Burlacot, Stanford University @tmoro.bsky.social @aburlacot.bsky.social #ICPR26 #photosynthesis

📣 📣 Wondering what allow diatoms to grow in the ever-changing environment 🌦️of the ocean🌊? Check out or latest work where we develop genome-wide CRISPR screen to unravel the genes🧬 critical for diatoms under dynamic light conditions☀️🌥️👇 Spoiler alert: it is (almost) not about NPQ 👀 but CEF 🫣

Excited to have been invited to the Annual Symposium of the Botanical Society of Japan 👀🦠🌱🌾🌿

So glad to have given a course on photosynthesis ☀️ last week at the @szndohrn.bsky.social , it's very humbling to see such a historical place for marine biology 👀🐠🐟🦠

Glad to see the recognition of Vincent Boudreau's amazing work 🥳🥳🥳 and to have taken part in the journey ☺️ www.ascb.org/society-news...

Part of the lab was at York last week for the CCM11 conference! Amazing science, wonderful people as always 🥰

Silly artwork alert 🚨from our favorite model organisms 🫣🙃 (work of Phaeodactylum photosynthesis in dynamic light to be released very soon btw 👀)

🚨 We’re hiring! The Burlacot Lab @carnegiescience.bsky.social is recruiting a Postdoc to study how photosynthetic electron flows power CO₂ fixation in algae 🌱🧫 Cutting-edge microscopy + biophysics + sustainability 🚀 Apply: apply.interfolio.com/171656

🎉🥳 Celebrating our publication revealing proteins bandwidths of importance with a Chlamy crêpe party 🥞 @carnegiescience.bsky.social @stanfordenergy.bsky.social Publication here👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Cool to see today the work of @noodlyscientist.bsky.social featured at the @stanfordenergy.bsky.social symposium 👀 💚🦠 @carnegiescience.bsky.social

📢Out today! Our work discovering that bioenergetic 🔋homeostasis in dynamic environments is periodicity-dependent ☀️🌥️🌤️⛅️🌦️☀️⛅️ We show that maintaining a healthy photosynthetic cell 💚requires mechanisms with diverse bandwidths of importance 👀 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Sustaining the cell energy in dynamic environments requires photosynthetic electron flows with diverse bandwidths

All living cells depend on the dynamic balance between their energy supply and demand to survive and thrive in dynamic environments. In extreme cases, like for photosynthetic organisms, their energy s...
