New in PNAS today: we projected how climate change will reshape the body size of marine life across the entire ocean. 23,329 mollusc species, every ocean basin. The headline everyone expects is "life shrinks." The real answer is far stranger. 🧪 #marinelife www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Welcoming year 2026 with a new PhD! 🥳 Congratulations to @catharinauth.bsky.social who defended her thesis on the role of phytoplankton in carbon dynamics just before Christmas! @tvarminne.bsky.social @helsinki.fi @coastclim.bsky.social And a big thank you to her brilliant opponent Ben Ward 🙂
This news is truly devastating. I wouldn’t be the same researcher and the same person without NCAR experience early during my PhD. #NCAR is the place where I learned the power of interdisciplinary collaborative research, which I value and benefit from ever since. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
