Congrats to Jenny who has received not one, but two grants to fund her work on temporal seasonal adaptation in Eurytemora affinis!

Field collections 2024 have begun! Jenny is collecting Eurytemora copepods every two weeks over the next few months with the goal of identifying the physiological processes that are evolving across the season. As you can tell by Jenny’s field clothes, we’re still in the cold part of the year here in Kiel!

Congrats to Gianina who defended her MSc thesis!

A big congratulations to Sheena Chung, who defended her Msc thesis yesterday! We’re fortunate that Sheena will still be at GEOMAR for the next few months, but will be sad to see her leave- she has been a wonderful member of the team the past few years. But we’re sure she will go on to great things. Congratulations Sheena!

The lab celebrated halloween in style! Surprisingly, there was a complete lack of copepod costumes!

Jenny Nascimento-Schulze joins the group as our newest (and first!) postdoc! Jenny did her phd with at the University of Exeter with Robert Ellis working on shellfish population genetics and global change. Here she will be working on the temporal genomics of adaptation, focusing on detecting balancing and directional selection in copepods. Welcome Jenny!

Welcome to our new lab website. Here we will post updates and news from the group.
