Just received news of the English release of "Cells – The Illustrated Story of Life" by Christian Sardet. A beautiful and inspiring book, and I’m honored to have contributed a few images to it.
Thank you @cellsandplankton.bsky.social , and congratulations on this wonderful achievement!

Looking forward to presenting our latest results on the unusually complex cell biology of giant bacteria! This conference is going to be great, come and join us!

If you wanna know why and how we study giant bacteria, check out Matters Microbial #103.

👋 Hi Bluesky! Excited to finally join.
I’m Jean-Marie Volland, assistant professor at UCSB, where my lab studies giant bacteria and other uncultivated and unusual microbes. We use microscopy and genomics uncover how cells evolve complexity, move in extraordinary ways, and form symbioses.
