Omg I just saw this now!
Thanks so much for these kind words haha :)

Beautiful 🤩! I dont know much about Diatoms: can the chloroplasts move in strong light (might potentially take couple of minutes/an hour)?
And are they always as "regularly" spaced?

Thanks for the nice words!
In my opinion the more puns the better.
Fun fact: there's even a pun in the paper. :D

That being said: I know of a beautiful work by @prakashlab.bsky.social
in which they studied the vertical migration of a related organism: Pyrocystis noctiluca which can double its radius within ~15mins. But it doesn't seem to be light controlled but more cell cycle related:

Thanks! Interesting question
I never tested this, but saw them in both conditions sinking. But as they live in ~50-100m depth and can potentially change density to tune buoyancy. They do not change shape or size during light induced chloroplast motion. But potentially they could change buoyancy...
