Sarah Loftus, PhD ecology student, wins second place in the Biology student poster competition at the Algae Biomass Summit in Washington DC. The Summit, organized by the Algae Biomass Organization, unites industry professionals from all sectors of the world’s algae utilization industries including those involved financing, algal ecology, genetic systems, […]
ZIJ co-chaired a session on Marine Photosynthetic Bacteria and presented a paper (abstract below) on the response of Prochlorococcus to temperature change at the International Symposium on Phototrophic Prokaryotes 2015 (ISPP2015) meeting in Tübingen, Germany. The meeting highlighted the current knowledge and the most recent advances of research on phototrophic […]
Although not quite the open ocean, Sara Blinebry worked with Marty Szul and colleagues near the mountains of Tennessee to study the effects of nutrient limitation on Prochlorococcus photosynthesis and metabolism. The work is part of an ongoing collaboration between UTK and Duke that focuses on the how the environment […]
The Johnson Lab presented recent research and outreach/STEM educational efforts at the ASLO 2015 meeting in Granada, Spain. Alyse Larkin presented recent analyses of Prochlorococcus molecular diversity in the North Pacific Ocean with the title, “Prochlorococcus has seasonal-specific trends in alpha- and beta-diversity across latitudinal temperature gradients in the North […]
This year marked the first Human and Environmental Microbiome Symposium organized by the Duke Center for Genomics of Microbial Systems (GeMS). Both the Johnson Lab and the Hunt Lab traveled to the Durham campus to present research concerning marine microbes, and to learn about other microbial research going on in […]
ZIJ presented research on the molecular ecology of Prochlorococcus from the Johnson Lab to the Biology Group at the University of Freiburg. ZIJ is working with Prof. Wolfgang Hess at the university on the metagenomics of Prochlorococcus as part of an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation research fellowship.
ZIJ presented research on Prochlorococcus from the Johnson Lab at the recent network meeting for Alexander von Humboldt fellows in Berlin. The meeting brings together all of the recent fellows of the foundation. The goal of the meeting is to learn about the breadth of research topics and to establish […]
As part of the German-American Frontiers of Science meeting in 2014, ZIJ co-organized a session on acclimation and adaptation to climate change. The session featured speakers from Germany and the USA and represented both terrestrial and ocean ecosystems. The goal of the meeting was to bring together outstanding young scientists […]
