A research cruise in the Arctic Ocean

Our PhD student Nina is currently onboard the Swedish Icebreaker Oden as part of the Early Career Scientist program at the Canada-Sweden Arctic Ocean Expedition 2025. She will not only collect many key samples for her projects on novel diversity important to better understand the origin of plastids, but also rare and valuable samples for other ongoing projects in the lab. Here is a photo taken by Nina as they leave land off the coast of Svalbard.
