Dr. Patricia Sanchez-Baracaldo is from the School of Geographical Sciences at the University Bristol. Rather than paraphrase what is already so nicely stated on her of website, I'll just post it here:"My research aims to understand how cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) have contributed to global nutrient cycles (e.g., nitrogen, carbon, oxygen) through geological time. The timing of diversification of some marine cyanobacteria lineages suggests that cyanobacteria have played a key role in regulating the global environment and past climatic events. By studying cyanobacteria evolution my lab aims to understand how these organisms contributed to making our planet increasingly habitable during the early Earth."Highlights from the talk:
- Nitrogen is underappreciated in it's role in making our planet habitable.
Check out Patricia's work from 2014 and 2015 which were featured in the presentation:
