Carbon fixation by Chlorella, inside vs outside #Paramecium - @andreacatgrundy. In symbiotic form it's larger, has much higher fixation, larger energy-related organelles. Storage initially (1hr) starch, later (24hr) lipid droplets, and then... (TBC) #EESSymbiosis

Further tales of #Paramecium-#Chlorella system from @BrockhurstLab, using reciprocal pulse-chase metabolomics, partner-switching & #ExperimentalEvolution to explore the fitness landscape that lies between free-living & symbiont "prison." #EESSymbiosis (work by @MESSorensen)

Nibbling, not munching: @realBenJen on the uncertain life of #Chlorella as an #endosymbiont - #Paramecium nibbles away at Chlorella's chitin coat, in a manner tightly regulated by chitin product GlcNAc (work done with @AncestralState) #EESSymbiosis

#embroidery for a repurposed tailored #jacket - private #commission. The elements on the jacket hold specific meaning which I embroidered along with their #latin names as you might see in a #museum display case or #Science book. There’s a #stegosaurus (based on the model at the #NaturalHistoryMuseum - #London) #honeyfungus #mushrooms, various kinds of #bacteria, beaded #paramecium, a #shrew, #ginkgo leaves, #sweetpea and the chemical formula for #Kunzite. #art
