Recently we had the chance to go out into the fjords on board RV Hans Brattström to collect samples #choanoflagellates #ctenophores

Very thankful for the opportunity Michael Sars Centre at University of Bergen. Dream job🤩!

Presented our work on #choanoflagellates & #ctenophores at the Systems Biology of the brain "Emerging concepts of cognition in model systems and throughout evolution" course organized by @Simon_Sprecher 🙏at the University of Fribourg.

Beautiful train ride included.

'These findings suggest that an ancestral cRFXa homolog coordinated #ciliogenesis in the progenitors of animals and #choanoflagellates and that the selective deployment of the RFX regulatory module may have been necessary to differentiate ciliated from non-ciliated cell types during early animal evolution.'

Bacteria captured on the collar of #choanoflagellates slow swimming speed. Wonderful work by Mimi Koehl and colleagues.

Great description of the behavioural complexity of #choanoflagellates & #protists and how those cell behaviours could have been the base for more complex behaviours. https://twitter.com/thibaut_brunet/status/1648013540710666240

If you haven't met Dr. Rosie Alegado yet, then let me tell you, she is amazing!

In this new #podcast episode, she shares stories about her ambitious high school #science fair projects, reconnecting with her Native Hawaiian heritage, weather mishaps in field research, and the remarkable microbes she studies!
