Glissomonads (Cercozoa, Rhizaria) are always in for a surprise! Saprotrophic, sucking up bacteria lysate. Axenic culture! #ProtistsOnSky

Big thanks to #OpenAI and #ChatGPT -not for helping me write my manuscript, but for clearly writing one of the reviewer's entire review!😂 Never thought I’d get peer-reviewed by a Large Language Model with imposter syndrome. Some recommendations are hilarious😅 #protists #ProtistsOnSky #nonamedropping

Evidence for #recombination, and maybe #meiosis, in free-living #Rhizaria! I wish the results were clearer. As so often we raised more questions than we could answer :) If you are into #sex and the #meiosis-toolkit, this is an important read! #ProtistsOnSky link.springer.com/article/10.1...

My good friend and former colleague Fionn Clissmann painted a testate #amoeba shell for my formerly very empty walls in my new office. Love it! Stunning colours! #ProtistsOnSky

Only 1 week left to apply for both advertised researcher positions in my new lab! If you're excited about #microbial #eukaryotes and #ecological #interactions, don’t miss the deadline - spread the word! For more info, visit my website: www.kennethdumack.de

Only two more weeks to apply! 3 years postdoc position with flexibility in research. Join me in exploring #protist #ecology! #omics #environmental_sequencing #microscopy #algae #plankton #ProtistsOnSky #MicroSky

Friday was a special day for us! My first non-shared PhD student, Ana Cristina Martínez Rendón, concluded her work with us and earned her doctorate! Congratulations Cristina, and I wish you all the best for your future in the private sector! One of my last duties in Cologne!

Very proud to announce that my first (shared) doctoral student, Dr. Jule Freudenthal, finished her doctoral studies! 🎉 She did amazing work! I know my recent shift to a professorship is for certain parts due to her work. We both align very well which is why I am happy that she is now my postdoc :) 🎊

🧠🦠🚨 New preprint alert! We’ve built the first trait database for Amoebozoa, and showcase ecological insights and evolutionary patterns. If you're into protists, soil ecology, or functional biodiversity - this is for you! #ProtistsOnSky #MicroSky 🧵👇
