Phycology is the science that deals with the study of algae.
You're probably looking for r/psychology. This is r/phycology: a subreddit to discuss and share all things having to do with algae.

Is the field not widely known? Why do search engines not recognize this as a normal search?
Why is it second class to psychology?
I'm working on doing my EE on something related to algae and I picked up this book. I don't know whether it's a good source or not yet. I've found his obituary though... https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0269249X.2012.736226#d1e185
Hi everyone. I am looking for tools or resources to more efficiently count algae (Lessonia, Macrocystis, & Ecklonia) spores with or without ImageJ. Does such a product exist?
Thank you!
My ex and I are in the process of custody. We're waiting for a mediation date. He sees him a few days a week for an hour, and during the hour, he's pushing a stroller while only spending 10 minutes face to face with him after the walk. He refuses to come to my house and he refuses to let us at his. I'm my son's only caregiver. I spend 24/7 with him, as I'm a full time online student receiving veteran benefits. He's very attached to me. He was breastfed up until two months ago when my supply dropped due to stress. He cries with his dad during visits and stops when I hold him. It breaks my heart. I want them to have a relationship but I don't want our son to feel like I'm abandoning him. The dad is making me feel guilty about this but I'm trying everything on my end. I'm encouraging we implement a "step-up parenting plan", where we go to his house or his parents so our son can become acclimated with that environment and with his family. He refuses. Help. I feel horrible and I don't want to ruin his relationship with our son or our son's attachment style. Advice?
Hi everyone! I've just recently joined this sub because I want to pursue a career in phycology. Right now I'm mostly fascinated by extremophilic Cyanobacteria, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend the right material. I'm a biology student with basic knowledge in algal morphology, physiology and systematics, so all and any credible resources would be greatly appreciated!
I'm curious to know if anyone here has ventured into the world of algae-based start-ups and how your journey has been so far. I'm keen on starting something in this space one day. I have the skills to design and construct photobioreactors of any capacity from scratch, but I'm not quite sure what would be a profitable side gig involving microalgae. Any insights, tips, or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
I'm willing to collaborate with an international scientist from the reasearch field of microalgology or Cyanobacteriology or phycology to complete my research work. But, I don't know to find. How can I find amd approach?
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Eleanor, and I'm a student at Syracuse University working on a senior capstone project aimed at addressing environmental challenges within the cement industry.
Our project concept involves installing algae-filled tanks at cement factories to capture carbon emissions, with the intention of harvesting the algae for potential sale to companies. While this initiative is purely hypothetical and academic in nature, we are keen to explore potential avenues for collaboration or insights from industry experts.
We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further with you or a relevant member of your team. Your insights on potential markets for algae or any other suggestions would be invaluable to our project.
Thank you very much for considering our proposal.
Warm regards,
Eleanor
Hi everyone,
I'm recreating a small photobioreactor ( Raspberry Pi based Photobioreactor (youtube.com) )to monitor the growth of microalgae etc... Due the the nature of ordering parts, I'm going to end up with enough to build a few of these.
If anyone is interested in making one of these, reach out as I will have quite a few extra parts.
Cheers!
I’m in a Phycology course, and have a midterm tomorrow. I’m struggling to memorize the names for the orders within ulvophyceae, trebouxiophyceae, chlorophyceae, and phaeophyceae. Does anyone happen to have a good trick(s) to help?
The orders: Ulvales/ulotrichales Cladophorales Caulerpales/bryopsidales Dasycladales Chlorellales Chlamydomonodales
Laminariales Fucales Ectocarpales Dictyotales Desmarestiales Sphacelariales
Project: Algal bloom to Organic fertilizers
Hello everyone,
I’m looking for some guidance, feel free to contribute whatever you feel like related to it. So, I’m a recent graduate at University of Manitoba, and Manitoba is home to more then 100,000 lakes which includes many huge water bodies. One of the problems which is being faced at this lake is related to algal bloom, and to solve this problem I want to convert the algal bloom into organic fertilizers, so I can solve t2 problems at same time. To sell any sort of fertilizer we need licensing and many other legal paperwork, as a recent graduate I don’t have such resources to approach this project. What are your suggestions, if I want to approach this project and eventually setup a profitable business. I welcome all the suggestions and advice. Thank you
Kind regards G.K
how resistant are algae to typical sewage & smokestack effluents? can algae be used to scrub for carbon capture?
can algae be impregnated with deeply reflective particles so they can better exploit solar energy?
trendy nanoparticles, formerly known as ions, puncture cells, in the way of transfection. do algae emit oil in response to irritants the way animals do? maybe ventner is too clever and algae can leak oil gradually by ions & irritants?
Hello,
I came across this table from an old research paper showing the chemical composition breakdown of macrocystis (a species of kelp). How do I make sense of this because a lot of the % sum to greater than 100%. I know that there is nitrogen within protein, for example.
Can anyone please help me organize this table so that it is in sections that all add to 100%?
Thanks!
