New pub from @ArcadiaScience 🧵 We found that C. smithii — a freshwater green alga — undergoes wild morphological transformations when grown on Marine Broth. Huge cells with mysterious wisp-like appendages. Here's what we saw. thestacks.org/publications... [1/9]

Excited to share some new work from @arcadiascience.com at #CellBio2025! We’re using Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a rapid in vivo platform to model ADA1 deficiency and test computationally designed therapeutic ADA1 variants. Poster PDF: bit.ly/chlamy-ADA

Discovered some unexpected growth phenotypes in Chlamydomonas flagellar mutants! The cpc1-1 strain (with central pair complex defects) shows surprising metabolic traits that might be independent of its flagellar defects. 🧵 research.arcadiascience.com/pub/observat... [1/9]

Happy Darwin Day! Today, we’re thinking about how to use evolution to accelerate biomedical research. We think the answer is to expand the repertoire of organismal models. Search for the best ones using our new portal, Zoogle: zoogle.arcadiascience.com 🧵

Today at #CellBio24, I'll discuss our new pub at the "Quantitative Biology in Emerging Model Systems" subgroup session at 5:15 pm in Ballroom 20A. Come check it out!

Today at #CellBio24, Dave Mets will be at poster B599 talking about mapping genotypes to phenotypes! poster: zenodo.org/records/1449...

Our new pub dropped this weekend! For those at #CellBio24, I'll be at poster B73 starting at 11:15 am discussing this work! I'll also be giving a talk on Tuesday at 5:15 pm in Ballroom 20A in the Quantitative Biology in Emerging Model Systems session poster here: zenodo.org/records/14481493

🧵 New from @arcadiascience.bsky.social: We used Chlamydomonas mutants to model specific types of spermatogenic failure and found drugs can rescue swimming behavior in mutation-specific ways. Full pub: research.arcadiascience.com/pub/result-chlamy-spgf [1/8]

Tomorrow at #CellBio24, I'll be at poster (B73) talking about some fun new work we just released using Chlamydomonas to model spermatogenic failure. Check out the poster here: zenodo.org/records/14481493 Join the fun and post your comments & questions on the pub! bit.ly/chlamy-spgf

Happening soon at #CellBio24 @ascbiology.bsky.social Ryan York's poster (B574) on a data-driven approach to selecting your model organism @arcadiascience.bsky.social Poster here: zenodo.org/records/14479386 Join the fun & post your comments & questions on the pub! bit.ly/evolutionary...

Two weeks ago we @arcadiascience.bsky.social posted our final, major update to our Chlamydomonas sp. phenotypic variation pub! research.arcadiascience.com/pub/result-c...! A lot of new findings in the 🧵!!! 1/9

🎉 Excited to share our latest work at #CellBio23! I'll be presenting a poster on our pub “Phenotypic differences between interfertile Chlamydomonas species” and our continued work in the Protists and Parasites Cell Biology poster session (Board #723) @arcadiascience.bsky.social

DALL-E's take on a colored pencil sketch of Chlamydomonas

🚨 @arcadiascience.bsky.social is hiring an Image Analysis scientist!!! 🔬 jobs.lever.co/arcadiascien...

Are you a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii or Chlamydomonas smithii? Find out here!!! www.buzzfeed.com/cameronmacqu... #SpiritAlgae And check out the latest version of our @arcadiascience.bsky.social pub comparing the 2 species! research.arcadiascience.com/pub/result-c... #ArcadiaGenetics

🗣️ Calling all microscopy enthusiasts! We're looking for publicly available, open-source video data featuring bright-field, DIC, or phase-contrast images. These data will complement our own in a new study on focus-filtering techniques. Please comment with a link to a public repository!

New pub update from @arcadiascience.bsky.social! ! We've just released an update to our research on the 2D cell morphology of C. reinhardtii and C. smithii, two interfertile algal species. research.arcadiascience.com/pub/result-c...
