Another field trip this week for #CoccoChannel! 🌊 We headed to the Krka River estuary to sample the halocline using a horizontal water sampler. The microbial life was buzzing #protistsonsky! 🦠 This one was caught extending its pseudopodia to feed on bacteria. Nature’s lunch at its finest!

Today was a perfectly colorful day 🌈—on the way to sample coccolithophores, we stumbled upon a pink lake. Under the scope, I found green algae and diatoms in a “forest” of pink! 💗💚🔬
