Nice surprise after summer break: elaborate insights in @elife.bsky.social on our upcoming microfossils article.
Thanks to Lubbers & Claessen of @unileiden.bsky.social for taking note!

Final accepted version of our reviewed preprint will be out shortly! elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Microfossils: Mimicking early life-forms in the lab

Studying the growth of bacteria without cell walls in an artificial environment can shed new light on the proliferation of primitive life-forms billions of years ago.
