Happy #PostdocAppreciationWeek #PAWde! 🎉 Huge thanks to my amazing postdoc Cécile Molinier @cecilemolinier.bsky.social for her work on speciation & reproductive isolation in brown algae 🌊 🧬. She’s not only an outstanding scientist but also a great mentor to our students!

New #ISEPpapers! Towards a trait-based framework for protist ecology and evolution: Mahwash Jamy et al. www.cell.com/trends/micro... #protists #algae #microbes #ecology #evolution

I'm very happy to share that our paper describing the evolution of sex chromosomes in brown algae is out!🎉 This project was a long journey, but it came together into a nice story 🧬 🌊 Grateful to everyone who helped along the way!

New research: With ancient origins & surprising flexibility, #BrownAlgae reveal a compelling story of sex chromosome evolution. This could rewrite how we view sex determination. Learn more: s.gwdg.de/YDoZ3L Congrats to @agalip.bsky.social & Josue Barrera for their work in @natecoevo.nature.com

We had productive 2 days of defining some hard bits of the database as well as figuring out the next steps forward. We will send around notes in the upcoming days. ToS folks are the best, thank you all for taking part and @aruizherrera.bsky.social and @sphaeromeria.bsky.social for organising!
