New method reveals #marinemicrobes' outsized role in carbon cycle @BigelowLab @nature https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05505-3 https://phys.org/news/2022-12-method-reveals-marine-microbes-outsized.html
A new study led by researchers from Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences suggests that a small fraction of marine microorganisms are responsible for most of the consumption of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide in the ocean. This surprising discovery, published in Nature, came from a new method that provides unprecedented insight into these organisms that help govern complex carbon dioxide exchange between the atmosphere and ocean.

Every single talk was amazing and the poster session was buzzing! — day 2 promises to be equally exciting
One of our conference node leaders @well.read.panda worked on creating #DIY #knitted and #crocheted ocean microbes to raise awareness of the fun invisible creatures filling the Seas with life!
There's even a glowing #dinoflagellates
Full instructions on how to make them are at wellreadpanda.com
