Here is a myxomycete plasmodium that I isolated off a wet leaf onto the bottom of a vented flask. Realtime phase microscopy. #ProtistsOnSky

Thrilled that the lab's first @hhmijanelia.bsky.social project is up on bioRxiv! Story behind the story to follow. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I've been gone for awhile because bluesky was (is) banned in Mississippi :) Now that I have a VPN, here is a timelapse of diatoms from @hhmijanelia.bsky.social pond! #protistsonsky #protists

Here is a Centropyxis testate amoeba picking up a little rock with its pseudopod. Notice the pseudopod attachment point on the culture dish surface and the blebbing that happens there. #amoebae #protists
