Each of the tiny specs of light in the image could be a coccolith, taking minerals to the deep ocean in a particle of marine snow.” Helen Smith With a little help from my friends Get your own themed card by Helen Smith and collaborate with the PLANETS Cancer Charity , who supported Dr Chris Daniels (coccolithophore nerd and ocean scientist). All profits from these cards go to PLANETS, in Chris’ name.

Laury-Anne Dumoulin (Okada-McIntyre Fellowship) and Joseph Asanbe (Katharina von Salis Fellowship) Laury-Anne research focuses on the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of alkenone-producing haptophytes, particularly Isochrysidales lineages in polar and subpolar environments and their application in paleoclimate reconstructions. Joseph’s work focuses on resolving temporal and biogeographical patterns in community structure and identifying the biotic and abiotic drivers that shaped macroevolution in the oceans.

INASSET - Training the next generation The Summer School on Evolution and Taxonomy took place at the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France. During a week, students from 12 countries met, shared and learnt from top-tier lecturers on Cenozoic. Thanks to Giuliana Villa, Jeremy Young, Matt Hampton, Mica Chaumeil Rodríguez and Emanuela Mattioli for organising the event, and to everyone for attending and making this new INASSET edition a fantastic and inspiring experience. Next INA Summer School will be in 2027 More details and early inscriptions are coming in 2026, stay tuned!

Outstanding members Kyoko HAGINO Newcomb Cleveland Prize AAAS Jeremy YOUNG Brady Medal The Micropalaeontological Society Kyoko HAGINO Newcomb Cleveland Prize AAAS Jeremy YOUNG Brady Medal The Micropalaeontological Society Kyoko Hagino collaborated with a team of researchers that has won the AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize 2025 for their work that has identified a new organelle within single-celled algae that converts nitrogen gas into ammonia . 💡The AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize is awarded annually to the author or authors of an outstanding paper published in the Research Articles or Reports sections of Science Jeremy Young has been awarded TMS's highest honour, the Brady Medal. Jeremy is a world-leading expert on calcareous nannofossils who has dedicated his career to major advances in taxonomy, biostratigraphy, and nannoplankton evolution. He has left an indelible mark on the NHM, the UCL and the INA, and his invaluable contribution through the creation of the open-access Nannotax and Mikrotax databases has transformed research and teaching worldwide. 💡The Brady Medal is awarded to scientists who have had a major influence on micropalaeontology by means of a substantial body of excellent research. October 10th - International Coccolithophore Day The INA joined the Ruđer Bošković Institute, the Lyell Centre at Sveučilištu Heriot-Watt, NORCE Norwegian Research Centre, MARE – Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre, and Sveučilište u Lisabonu to co-lead the International Coccolithophore Day campaign. This initiative celebrates the essential role of coccolithophores in regulating Earth’s carbon balance and sustaining ocean ecosystems, officially establishing October 10th as International Coccolithophore Day. Find out more about this iniative on INA social media with Aurora Science Communication contents . INA 20 Meeting - Save The Date! Still thinking about the past INA Meeting at Llandudno? No worries, the next meeting is coming soon! Juan P. Pérez Panera and Mica Chaumeil Rodríguez are preparing everything to welcome the nanno-community in the INA 20 Meeting during February 14th -19th 2027 in La Plata, Argentina. The first circular will arrive at the beginning of next year. Let’s stay connected. You are receiving this email because you are subscribed to the Coccoliths Mailing List. Click here to unsuscribe .
