“ERC succeeds because it’s different. Its simple, tailored procedures allow Europe’s best researchers to thrive. Bureaucratic processes designed for other programmes should not be imposed on it.” @marialep.bsky.social spoke up for an independent ERC with a doubled budget today @europarl.europa.eu

'In Germany in the 1930s, scientific institutions and societies failed at every level to offer any significant resistance to Nazism,' writes @philipcball.bsky.social. 'Donald Trump’s United States is not Hitler’s Germany. But the point is surely to learn from it anyway.'

One of my favorite radiolarians. I call it a "little hat", but I guess it is probably Eucecryphalus sp. Here are two examples from Bermuda (Atlantic) and Puerto Rico (Caribbean). Exquisite little #protistsonsky. I love seeing these forms in different regions of the Oceans. #protistaday #marinelife

Reposting this again - We are looking for a postdoc to study the physiology, evolution, and cell biology of anaerobic ciliate-methanogen symbioses using 'omics, experiments, and/or microscopy. Still accepting inquiries, and I would love to hear from interested candidates.

Farewell, John! Thank you for the awesome visit and let's get that rad bucket of gold! @burnsajohn.bsky.social

A nasselarian radiolarian with its podoconus (cone-like arrangement of long arms) out and lots of internal movement. Beautiful to see! In the water column, that cone of arms is probably oriented "up" for catching debris/prey and managing motion with the hard skeleton pointed "down" #protistaday

Is it a repeat? Sort of, but this is a radiolarian in motion! I wanted to see how dynamic the symbionts are. They mostly stay still over a couple of minutes. With @micrott.bsky.social and @evocellbio.bsky.social #protistaday #protistsonsky #marinelife

Today a radiolarian #protistaday from the Caribbean. It is a privilege to have the means, support, and interest to Research the curious cell biology of radiolarians. I have many like this to share and will hopefully have opportunities to dive into their cell bio in the future. 🦑 #protistsonsky

Okay... #protistaday. I know this is a phaeodarian, but how does a cell evolve to build a glass mouth, teeth and all, to live inside? This is totally amazing. #protistsonsky #marinelife. With @evocellbio.bsky.social @micrott.bsky.social
