BBSRC-funded #PhD studentship available in my group UEA School of Environmental Sciences. October 2021 start. We are looking for a graduate of any nationality to work on #polar #diatoms and their ice-binding proteins. Please RT. biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/projects/ice-b…

Really nice News and Views article in Plant Physiology on our discovery of fast voltage-gated sodium channels in coccolithophores plantphysiol.org/content/184/4/…

Check out our new study in Current Biology that describes how diatoms sense the vital nutrient phosphorus, to mediate rapid recovery responses from P limitation. Great collaboration with Glen Wheeler, Joseph A. Christie-Oleza & Plymouth Marine Lab! MBA - Marine Biological Association Exeter Biosciences sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

How do diatoms cope with rapid changes in salinity? We show that dynamic calcium signals help them control their cell volume during osmotic stress to prevent bursting @kehelliwell New Phytologist MBA - Marine Biological Association nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

New paper! We show that some coccolithophore species use silicon to help shape the morphology of their calcite crystals. If we interfere with this process, the cells start producing coccoliths that look like sugar cubes! @newphyt MBA - Marine Biological Association doi.org/10.1111/nph.17…

POSTDOC position on algal CO2 fixation. Deadline coming up: 22nd March. Please RT.

📢A heads up I will be recruiting a postdoc for a BBSRC-funded project investigating diatom nutrient sensing mechanisms Mary Beth Allen University of Exeter, starting Oct 2022 (once I'm back from maternity leave). Interested? DM me! #microscopy #physiology #molecularbiology #signalling #algae

Happy Valentine’s Day, especially to all my LGBTQties. For so long (and often still!), we’ve had to deny our loves and desires, often to devastating ends. You are gorgeous, wonderful beauties and our love is just as valid. 💕🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
