And to the #Ichthyosporeans team!
Wow, 280+ distinct samples,Agar, liquid & SCsorted in 5d! Obtained even from very wild spots (only discussed with drinks)!
A life experience, & hopefully some new frontiers opened.

But again, so much fun funny fun fun.

Its a blessing to work with you all. Really!

Great to see this, Omaya! The search for the missing diversity of unicellular relatives of animals is gaining momentum, and it’s fantastic to see more labs joining the hunt. New #ichthyosporeans would be exciting!! new holozoan lineages too! #protistsOnSky #missingrelatives

For two weeks, our entire lab is dropping everything to focus on one mission: deploying @embl.org's Advanced Mobile Laboratory to cultivate microbial eukaryotes from Alpine ecosystems. Our dream? Isolating new #Ichthyosporeans never cultured before. Let's see what we find. 🔬🏔️

Must admit, ever since I was a kid, I’ve dreamt of seeing microscopy images of #protists in @lemonde.fr
Today, protists are everywhere, and several images were taken by the team. And seeing #ichthyosporeans there too?! 🥹
One step closer to showcasing the beauty of the invisible microbial world. 🔬✨
