In the fall of 2007, Sosik and Olson collaborated with biological
oceanographer Lisa Campbell at Texas A&M University to deploy the
Imaging FlowCytobot in the Gulf of Mexico to look for seasonal blooms of the toxic algae Karenia brevis.
In mid-February, Campbell began to notice rising levels of an unexpected toxic algae, Dinophysis acuminata.
