Yay! First paper of my PhD is out in @PNASNews!
We studied the motion of chloroplasts and found intriguing dynamics which resemble super-cooled systems!

did not know tardigrades eat volvox 🤯

*evil laugh* this was the plan all along obviously, to convince you over time that even diatoms have cilia you just haven't found them yet...

I asked #ChatGPT about #diatom motility just for fun. I am apparently working with ciliated organisms????

#FossilFriday - Just received this pic of the Burgess Shale stem-group annelid Canadia spinosa from @Cambriannelids . Look how beautiful the preservation of this 505 million-year-old fossil is !🤯This specimen even preserves nerves in the head => 10.1126/sciadv.aax5858
Wonder what's synchronizing them - is it coupling through the sofa...?

Our paper is published!
How do bacteria swim and interact with obstacles in a narrow space sandwiched between two no-slip boundaries?
We found enhanced hydrodynamic interactions in such a quasi-2D setup.

“Immotile cilia mechanically sense the direction of fluid flow for left-right determination” published in #Science #AAAS. We answered the question that "How the embryo senses nodal flow and why only the L-side cilia can respond." Let me guide you! 1/n https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abq8148

Came back into work this morning to find this intriguing Dorito-shaped contamination on one of my soft agar plates (.25% LB agar). Amazing how the cells have formed such an angular structure, although I’ve no idea what it is! @ContamClub
Beautiful ciliary carpet...
