✈️🔀 Our researcher Blanca Ausín (@passage-erc.bsky.social) is visiting the University of Portsmouth, invited by Dr Mariem Saavedra to collaborate on an ongoing project. She’s just delivered a seminar and they’re now analyzing samples under the electron microscope. Exciting cross‑institutional work! 👏
What’s it like to explore the ocean for science? 🌊🔬
Yesterday, 1st and 2nd graders at CEIP Campo Charro (Salamanca) found out, thanks to our Biogeosciences and Climate Change PI Blanca Ausín @passage-erc.bsky.social
👧🧠 So many questions from such curious minds!
#ScienceCulture #Outreach
Our group just got a fresh look! #Biogeosciences and #ClimateChange🌍🔬
**Nuestro grupo de Biogeociencias y Cambio Climático estrena nueva imagen!
5/5 They are the marine 'canaries in the coal mine'. As the ocean acidifies, they struggle to build shells—a big problem since they feed 🐟🪿
**Son "canarios de la mina" marinos: la acidificación oceánica pone en riesgo sus conchas y supervivencia, afectando a la alimentación de 🐟🪿
4/5 Their shells are made of aragonite (a type of calcium carbonate), which dissolves easily in acidic waters 🐚
**Sus conchas están hechas de aragonito (un tipo de carbonato cálcico), que se disuelve con facilidad en aguas ácidas 🐚
3/5 These delicate creatures are vital to ocean food webs & sensitive to climate change #MarineBiology #OceanScience
**Estas delicadas criaturas son vitales para la red trófica marina y sensibles al cambio climático
2/5 Pteropods are free-swimming sea snails with wing-like appendages! 🦋
**Los pterópodos son diminutos caracoles marinos con apéndices a modo de alas que nadan libremente 🦋
1/5 Look at this beauty! #Pteropod shells, aka 'sea butterflies', from our Portuguese margin sediment traps.
**Qué maravilla! Conchas de #pterópodos, o "mariposas marinas", de nuestras trampas de sedimento del margen de Portugal

After a few months of hard work, our lab is completely settled. Perfect timing to pay tribute to the Geochemistry lab on the R/V Joides Resolution! 🫶🏼
Ayer llevamos la ciencia al cole. Qué gustazo charlar con el alumnado de primaria del CEIP Meléndez Valdés, conocer su curiosidad sin límites y comprobar que saben más de lo que pensamos🤩
Gracias al alumnado del I.E.S Fray Luis de León por visitarnos en el @irnasa_csic. Esperamos haberos sabido transmitir nuestra pasión por la ciencia!
Hoy se otorgan los PREMIOS FRACE 2024 de @raciencias.bsky.social Os compartimos el vídeo conmemorativo de la pasada edición que cuenta con nuestra participación.
¡Enhorabuena a todas las premiadas! Hoy reivindicamos y celebramos el trabajo de todas.
