+Our paper now out in @nature.com. We designed and built at AMOLF a robot that maps & tracks fungal networks as they trade nutrients with plants. We discovered how fungi build and operate hyper-efficient 'supply chains' for underground ecosystems. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Building off @afreedma.bsky.social's scoop, I had word yesterday that NASA killed the IPCC WG3 TSU contract. (Story below.) NASA now says it was stopped to be "consistent with guidance issued to agencies from the General Services Administration to eliminate non-essential consulting contracts."

Quick thread on our new study doi.org/10.1101/2025...! 👇 Most ciliated epithelia exhibit some form of synchrony, this can help minimise energy dissipation, increase flow generation and improve efficiency. Review on why ciliary coordination is important for function here doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... 1/

Proud to win the @apsphysics.bsky.social DBIO Image contest for my tomato leaf trichome photo! Trichomes break on contact with insects, defending against predation 🐛🌿🔬🧪 Congrats to my co-winners, including labmate @nicoschramma.bsky.social for his stunning chloroplast networks in Pyrocystis Lunula!

Yay! I won the @apsphysics.bsky.social DBIO Image contest alongside two others! My colleague @jaredpopo.bsky.social is another winner showing the beauty of plant trichomes! My picture shows the chloroplast network of the marine dinoflagellate Pyrocystis Lunula! engage.aps.org/dbio/resourc...

Advances in microscopy mean we can now do more than just observe biology—we can control it. But how far can we really push this in mammalian cells with all their (beautiful but annoying) heterogeneity? 🧪🔬(🧵)

Polymerizing actin creates fireworks that are a sight to behold. This excitable medium produces polymerizing waves similar to those observed in other context. The parallels I tried to lay out in this perspective piece last year: tinyurl.com/53cbxm4v (LifeAct-GFP in Endothelial Cell)

How do organelles fit together inside a crowded cell? Answering this question requires a way to image many organelles in a whole cell at high resolution with high throughput. Our new preprint shows how to do this in yeast using soft x-ray tomography www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Fantastic thread about a remarkable organism - Stentor coeruleus - and its habituation to mechanical stimuli! Suggests great questions about single cells' capacity to learn. 😲

Single cells can learn without a brain, but how? Our new preprint from @deeparajan.bsky.social describes a model for habituation in Stentor coeruleus, based on receptor internalization and recycling, along with new experiments inspired by the model. 1/n www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is a fantastic thread about some illuminating work that is well worth the read, & the addendum at the end about mechanistic-luminescent bio-gel is brilliant (apologies for the puns).
