Weltrekord? UDE BioSLiDES hat vermutlich einen Weltrekord gebrochen: Das neueste digitale Präparat umfasst über eine Billion(!) Pixel und zeigt den frontalen Dünnschnitt eines Mäuseschädels in feinsten Details. Schaut es euch selbst an unter bioslides.biologie.uni-due.de/viewer.html?...

And finally, don’t forget about this year’s International Diatom Symposium!

Look at this round-up of meetings surrounding diatomology

Job: Come work with me! Please repost! We're seeking a faculty colleague whose research, teaching, and outreach focuses on water quality and freshwater ecosystems in the context of climate change. Review of applications will begin April 15, 2025. careers.msu.edu/jobs/assista...

Als Forderung, die Visibilität der Frauen in der Wissenschaft zu erhöhen, stellen wir Euch hier die Frauen unserer Arbeitsgruppe vor. Nur diverse Wissenschaft macht sinn! #internationaldayofwomenandgirlsinscience

I am looking for a PhD student to start in fall of 2025 at MSU. Potential topics include trait-based approaches to plankton community resilience, temperature effects on communities, harmful algal blooms and many others. Please get in touch if interested. More info: www.kl-lab.group.

Just to give everyone a reminder: you should never have to get a loan for a graduate program in ecology, evolution, & organismal biology. #🧪

It's graduate school application season, so here's your reminder that nobody should pay for a graduate degree in #ecoevo ! Here's a list of fully funded ecology, evolution, & organismal biology Masters' programs (please share!)! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

📢New paper out! The biggest diatom training set has been published on GigaScience. Read all about it here: doi.org/10.1093/giga...

Researchers at @crc-resist.bsky.social are investigating how rivers react to #climatechange, pollution and damming - and how they can recover from pressures. www.uni-due.de/2024-11-25-s... #waterresearch @berndsures.bsky.social @leeselab.bsky.social @probstlab.bsky.social @ruhr-uni-bochum.de 2/3

Great news! RESIST (CRC 1439) has been prolongued for 4 years. More science with field ecology, exstream modified mesocosm systems and flumes and much, much more! Stay tuned for updates!

After a very impressive European Diatom Meeting we say thanks to the organizers from Skopje university and our student Mimoza Dani for the organization of our very successful stay in Ohrid. Beautiful, learning, networking.

Did you know that Victorians used to position diatoms for esthetic purposes? Michael Krämer has done the same and now you can see it on UDE BioSLiDES (in brightfield and phase contrast): udue.de/DiatMosaic

What is GreenHAB? GreenHAB is a German university consortium to study future distribution and effects of Harmful Algal Blooms forming algae and their effects in Greenland. Collaborating with Danish scholars, too, our first expedition to Disko Bay is coming up!

📣New Paper alert! Some time in the making, but finally our first dry river paper is done and published! Small project paid for by the UDE, amplicon sequencing underestimates diatom biodiversity through missing references in sub-aerophile diatoms. Take a look: www.frontiersin.org/articles/10....

New paper alert! Danijela Vidakovic led this project looking into the diatoms in two big rivers in Serbia. Read all about it here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Yesterday our student helper, Phillip Mones, presented his science slam at the Biodiversity Master Shindig. Great job!

Crop types in the catchment differ in their effects on aquatic organisms. Permanent crops mainly affect invertebrates (pesticides), cereals / maize / oilseed mainly affect diatoms (fertilizers). Based on 7700 sampling sites and satellite data. authors.elsevier.com/a/1iAr4B8ccy...

📣 PhD Position alert! We are looking for a biology PhD for developing computer vision and deep neural network creation for diatom samples and monitoring. Find all information here: www.uni-due.de/karriere/ste...

Follow our publication outcome at sfb-resist.de/publications...

Incredible to see output of less than three years from 20 subprojects working with bacteria, algae, macroinvertebrates, fish + modelling + data management + synthesis!
