Sept 2017 – homeward bound
Francoise and Gayantonia, with the help of Sean Anderson have braved the high seas and the NAAMES 3 cruise is almost complete. They now have to face the ride home past Hurricane Joe. Safe travels!

Artist in residence, Cynthia Beth Rubin , has images and video installations that incorporate virtual reality at several shows in Connecticut and New York. She has put together a small sample video .
After a record setting mobilization in Woods Hole (10 people, < 10 hours) the crew (post-docs Franze & Morison), together with lab-alumnus Sean Anderson (now Harvey Lab , SKIO) set out for the third installment of the NAAMES cruise. I hear they hit bad weather and things are really rough…
Susanne attended the ICOP 2017 meeting in beautiful Prague, Czech Republic and received the Hutner Award. Amazing oceanographers Ginny Edgcomb, also past-president of ICOP, Diane Stoecker (Horn Point) and Alexandra Worden (MBARI) presented inspiring talks.
The National Science Foundation core Biological Oceanography Program has funded a new study in the lab, where we will combine research efforts in the laboratory and coastal Rhode Island to identify the quantitative effects of temperature changes on plankton growth and feeding rates. Thrilling times in our lab.
We are honored and excited to join the NASA funded EXPORTS campaign. A large-scale field campaign that will provide critical information for quantifying the export and fate of upper ocean net primary production. Doesn’t get more exciting than that!
We have opportunities for both Ph.D. students and post-doctoral fellows to join our lab. Potential research projects include investigating (i) plankton populations in the North Atlantic, (ii) temperature dependence in heterotrophic protists growth and grazing rates and (iii) effects of intra-specific variability on biodiversity. For further information check out the current research and prospectives pages.
Nothing more exciting than working in a very (re)productive lab. Congratulations Françoise on grandbaby number 2. So glad all are happy and healthy.
Françoise and Susanne are at NASA Langley Research Center in Virginia to participate in the NAAMES science meeting. Doesn’t get much cooler than that!
Susanne is promoted to full professor. Congratulations!
