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

A centimeter-scale model system for 1D elastoactive structures show that such structures exhibit flagellar motion when pinned at one end, self-snapping when pinned at two ends, and synchronization https://go.aps.org/3L498jL #coolvideo

My first paper on Burgess Shale research has been published!
We introduce a new species of exceptionally well-preserved #Cambrian polychaete (bristle worm), Ursactis comosa, from the Burgess Shale (Wuliuan Stage).

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.

Heard some fantastic talks from the contestants of the Dragon's Den for the first ever LSI Initiative Awards. Congratulations to the successful postdoc teams.
I saw this remarkable creature once too! Couldn't believe my eyes - yes this recording was taken in real time... look at these crazy shape changes - any biophysicists want to come up with a 'mechanism' for how this works?? #biomechanics #parasites

Out today. The micropore is an unusual, stable endocytic structure, found throughout apicomplexan parasites and their dinoflagellate relatives, where it is embedded in the complex cell pellicle that these organisms share.

Why is symmetry relevant to our understanding of complexity? Because broken symmetries pervade emergence and are fundamental to our understanding of evolution.

Microscopic #biohybrid #robots can be remotely controlled by unbalancing light projected on two bacterial motors. These #microbots can be independently programmed to navigate a route and maybe one day deliver cells in microfluidic chips.

Focus on the soldiers' helmets and imagine they are particles. The motion looks like a wave. So how or what does this explain about the relationship of the wave, to each particle?
