Great paper by Laura Piovani on high-quality cell atlases of oyster and polyclad flatworm larvae. Interesting new insights into cell-type diversity, young and old cell-types and evolution. Shell gland transcriptomes make oyster larvae look young. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Telford Lab et al. on this project. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

Our [biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20 |first paper on the behavior of Paramecium], a unicellular swimming organism that spikes! We look at what happens when it hits a little pillar. Often, it simply slips along it, but it sometimes does an “avoiding reaction”: it briefly swims backward, then changes direction. This is triggered by an action potential. We found that this reaction is often delayed: the organism slides on the obstacle, then withdraws.

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.

When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.

I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.

This is worth reading under the Christmas tree! I was touched by the stories of @DrAnneCarpenter and @LashuelLab who both shrunk their lab following health issues. Perhaps science, as well as scientists, would be better off if we all ran smaller labs?

“What is new is the intense variability. We farmers are used to weather, but it has become extreme.”—Grøtte, farmer

“My father always read the weather signs. In the autumn, he could see how the winter would be. But in the final years of his life, he was a worried man. Because the signs weren't right any more.”—Guttorm, herder

“We must change everything from our eating habits to how we build our cities. If not–this is just the beginning.”

Wonderful article about Michael Sars, his son and their famous discoveries, for the very first time, the describtion of the different stages of a jellyfish life cycle. And ctenophores included as well 🤩.
