Yeah Labyrinthula or somehow this direction is a good guess!

Just imagine the human alternative of this :D

LM Pictures are also very nice :)

Super cool!

Keep us updated :D

Stunning, what is it?

Thank you so much!

Cute!

Check out this amazing #testate_amoeba -inspired #art! At my farewell party in Cologne last week, my wonderful (former 😔) colleagues gifted me this incredible commissioned piece from local artist Güler Hirsch - I love it, and it will brighten my desk & days for years to come :) #protistsonsky

Love at first sight 💖

New logo for my new workgroup :) Yes, it's abstract, but I have the feeling it draws attention #protistsonsky

A bit late to the #skyparty but I was really glad to co-chair our special symposium on protist traits at #ICOP2025 organized by #ISOP in Seoul 🇰🇷

Grateful for the inspiring talks, engaging discussions, and the chance to reconnect with old friends and colleagues from around the world.

#ProtistsOnSky

I know! Also would have loved to be at yours!

Thanks ICOP/ISOP2025! I had a blast. See you in Prague! #protistsonsky

Today is the last day of #ICOP-ISOP2025! It was a blast, I enjoyed it a lot, feel very motivated, met and talked with plenty of fellow scientists, but also regret I couldn't discuss with even more people! Until next time :) #protistsonsky

@huesnaoeztoprak.bsky.social ?

Here you will find a great overview of genomic tools and their application on protists. Figure 3 is crazy interesting for everybody who wonders about what kinds of protist genomes are available, their sizes and why there aren't more. Take a look! Glad I could contribute :)

Stunning images!

Sure I did, thank you for you concern! We found a solution for this situation, which does not solve the issue on the large scale though...

Important work!

We are in the last steps in manuscript preparation. We have a great genome of a free-living core cercozoa. Just drop an email to my postdoc @huesnaoeztoprak.bsky.social she can share whatever you need.

Glissomonads (Cercozoa, Rhizaria) are always in for a surprise! Saprotrophic, sucking up bacteria lysate. Axenic culture! #ProtistsOnSky

Was it you?! :D

😂

Huge issue! What is peer-review worth anymore then?

Yes, for sure. From a legal perspective this is very bad. From my perspective: I am more concerned that peer-review processes are endangered. How sensical is it to please a review by ChatGPT instead of an actual evaluation of your work by a scientist? Sure I am not the first who encountered that.

Joke aside: This is a serious issue endangering science itself!
