Not nearly enough #protists and #cilia in this universe yet... let's rectify this with an inaugural edition of #CiliaSaturday 😍
Look at all its beautiful 'feet'... !

First toot! Who's here? You may know me from the bird app as the one who is obsessed with #cilia and #protists. Here is a YouTube vid (several years old) of some psychedelic #Chlamydomonas #cilia to prove it.

In our new preprint we characterise neuropeptide signalling in the cnidarian #Nematostella.
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.07.03.547448v1
Daniel Thiel and Luis Yanez-Guerra screened 64 neuropeptides against 161 G-protein coupled receptors (#GPCR) and found activating peptide ligands for 31 receptors.

Highlight was obviously this scientifically accurate model 3D axoneme made by Martin! https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1654577060134699009
Timed my visit perfectly and found myself in the midst of this amazing exhibition! One not only has to stop to admire the science but also the breathtakingly beautiful artwork... Congrats to @friedrich_group and team for bringing PoL to Life! 😉

ah finally learnt the origin of the famous Richardson quote (on turbulence)
"Big whirls have little whirls
that feed on their velocity,
and little whirls have lesser whirls
and so on to viscosity."

Yup - let's stick a wireless ephys rig on a tiny goldfish and record what happens when it swims into walls... again showing the importance of rhythmic oscillations in neural encoding! https://doi.org/10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.3001747

Watson and Crick were widely believed to have hit on the structure of DNA after stealing data from Rosalind Franklin – but newly-discovered documents suggest a different account of this discovery: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01313-5

J.B.S Haldane: "The Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we CAN suppose."
Let's talk about the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum:
It can 'feed' on sunlight; gives birth to live, pregnant clone-babies & needs to be bacterially infected to survive.
