Hi both! Thanks Gautam for the offer - I am super interested and now have the funds. I will contact you soon via email. Comment on Omayas message: There are other groups of organisms I am now also working on, some without a shell, which should be easier.

Hi Gautam! Would you let me know when the next workshops are?

If you read anything today, read this. Stunning images. Love it!

I think the January picture should be of interest to you :D I have never seen a better image of Paulinella!

Thank you so much for sharing! :)

Our new workgroup, and one of its latest papers on #ProtistsOnSky and #AntimicrobialResistance - has been featured in the news!

You should and can be proud! Well done!

W - O - W! I am super impressed. Cool thing! I dreamt of doing similar work (but never did). Congratulations, super cool. Will read it in detail in the next couple days, but it already looks stunning - love the figures!

Wow! This is genuinely the coolest paper I have seen in a long while. Love it, love the videos, love the methodology, love the extrapolation to the other suctoria. I am not even a ciliate-guy but this is truly awesome. Thanks!

"This will do" 😂

In case anyone’s wondering how things are going in my new position at the University of Koblenz - I think this picture makes it pretty clear we’re in great spirits! 😄 Julia and I are out sampling #cyanobacteria and #protistsonsky on local lakes :)

Thank you so much! I was always interested to see what heterotrophic protists actually do to the system. Yes, they eat, but how does this affect crucial background chemistry. Which compounds do they digest and generate? I am happy this paper contributes to this question :)

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!

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
