9/9 This is a preprint, so we welcome your feedback! Looking forward to seeing ExM evolve and helping expand your samples in the future!

New preprint! #UExM for >200 microbial eukaryotes, all 1670 volumes available via the @FijiSc Mobile plugin! Thank you to everyone that made it possible especially @Armanduuum and @HiralABShah, @Dey_Gautam @CentrioleLab @dudin_o! tinyurl.com/PlanExM1 1/6

@PrakashLab its too generous of you. None of this would be even thinkable without Manu's cool insights & encouragement. Science needs more mentors like him, who can guide younglings to pursue hard & globally consequential problems, without compromising the fun in doing science.

2/n) First the heros of this story - congrats to @RahulChajwa - first author (postdoc) who led this work from start to finish. It has been a remarkable to spend time with Rahul at sea - both in the calmest of waters and the roughest of seas. A brilliant scientist with a passion!

(14/n) @Eliott_Flaum joined the team once we realized we need to do more imaging - & was part of many of the expeditions supporting beautiful 3D imaging of these marine snow particles. Remarkable to see how beautiful these particles are - both in its complexity and architecture.

Our work on marine snow is finally out!! I’ve loved both getting to work alongside and to learn from @RahulChajwa, who led the project, and am incredibly grateful for the time we were able to overlap in tbe @PrakashLab!

(1/n) Are you ready to plunge into depths of our oceans with us! This is the story of “hidden comet tails” & our discovery of how a crucial biological process across our planet can put brakes on carbon capture in our oceans. Latest in @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to see this out! 🎉 I enjoyed working with Mylan, @thibaut_brunet & @Dey_Gautam on this review about microvilli that - structurally defines microvili - explores their diversity, & links to filopodia - uses phylogenetics to uncover how microvillar proteins evolved 1/2

Happy to see this online, our new review/bioinformatic investigation on the origin and evolution of microvilli: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bo… - also our first (but not last) collaboration with @Dey_Gautam's lab!

We're recruiting! Please RT!📢 Looking for a biophysics postdoc to come and help us explore the secret lives of unicellular organisms and origins of LECA! (assorted #protists incl. #excavates) Apply here jobs.ac.uk/job/DIE842/pos…… by Aug 1st! (Funded by @ERC_Research and @HFSP)

Curved pleats make it possible for the single-celled protist 'Lacrymaria olor' to extend its neck up to 30 times its body length in less than 30 seconds. Using glass needles, researchers stretch the organism’s neck to about a tenth of its capability. sciencenews.org/article/protis…

Intricate origami-like cellular geometry is key for this tiny hunter of the microbial world named Lacrymaria olor, which relies on extending its neck up to 30 times its body length to release its deadly attack. Learn more in a new #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/7gB

Last week we got to share mine and @PrakashLab’s work on Lacrymaria, and it's been so rewarding seeing the excitement the paper has generated! I’ve had a blast working with Lacry, and I hope this work inspires others to search for geometry enabled behavior in the protist world!!

The tiny predator Lacrymaria olor owes its shape-shifting ability to an “origami-like” cellular architecture, a new Science study finds. The results offer a glimpse into geometrical control of behavior in single cells. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/7eu

A surprise gift of « new curve crease origami » we call Lacrygami brought to us by a single cell (this is the first example of origami in a single cell)!! Will write a longer thread shortly describing our journey to discovery - in mean time, enjoy this beautiful cell.

Big thanks to @IMEV_mer for hosting us in such an inspiring place, paradise for radiolarians...with @PrakashLab and @fabrice_sbr and all the members of the Rad Pack team trying to understand why radiolarians are floating in the ocean. Funded by @MooreFound

Had to cut short #APSMarch trip since it overlapped with our 1st expedition for 2023 - on R/V Sally Ride in Cal Current focused on intersection of microbes & climate change. So excited for lab members @charlottebrann8 @Elliot_Flaum @jijumon109 for all the adventures ahead!
