We keep blooming

Almost two years have passed since we started this exciting project. We have been very busy and got a lot done:
– We have run many experiments trying to understand how biofilm transforms cyanobacteria secondary metabolites, how zooplankton likes or dislikes feeding on cyanos and trying to understand how toxic and non-toxic strains of cyanobacteria behave under different conditions.
– We have worked on new techniques in the lab: How can we grow different cyanobacteria strains together but also apart at the same time or how can we improve ecological theory computational methods to helps us understand their dynamics?
– We have produced a lot of data in the lab, in the lake and in theory and are excited to dig into our findings and bring them onto paper soon.
We also used as many opportunities as possible to benefit from each others knowledge and expertise. We are looking forward to another two exciting years ahead of us and wish everyone a merry holiday.
