Still get goosebumps thinking about @dudinlab.bsky.social’s presentation on the “microbial art gallery” at the GRC conference 🎇. So grateful for you and Marine 🪄 for helping us grow the suctorian corner of #ProtistsOnSky 💪
Very happy to see this out there ! Amazing work by @zjmaggiexu.bsky.social @amyweeks.bsky.social & @cellraiser.bsky.social!

All #ProtistsOnSky are amazing, but when I bumbed into @zjmaggiexu.bsky.social & her poster 2y ago at a #GRC conference, I got the urge to attempt #ExpnasionMicroscopy!

How do cells adapt morphology to function? In a 🔥 preprint by @zjmaggiexu.bsky.social , with @dudinlab.bsky.social and @amyweeks.bsky.social , we identify a self-organizing single-cell morphology circuit that optimizes the feeding trap structure of the suctorian P. collini. 🧵 tinyurl.com/4k8nv926

Thrilled to share our work on the 🔥 single-celled predator Podophrya collini, which rewires its cell morphology to hunt more efficiently. Huge thanks to our amazing team—Amy, Lauren, Omaya, Marine, Mari, and especially Scott—for making this shine! ✨

Excited to share a new preprint! Wireless devices use FM modulation to transmit multiplexed noise-resistant data. Led by @born2raisecell.bsky.social, we create a biochemical analogue of this paradigm using genetically encoded oscillators (GEOs) for single-cell FM streaming tinyurl.com/nbs8rw42 🧵
