Noctiluca scintillans - a microscopic organism responsible for the magical “sea sparkle.”
💡 These tiny plankton light up when disturbed, creating blue waves in the dark.
🔎 Under the microscope, they look like little floating balloons!

My article on the contemporary classical composer Caroline Shaw and her engagement with Romanticism is up in Sillages Critiques (Critical Whiffs) - give it a read if you’re interested in music, the sublime, mortality, and joy 🖤
In case you missed our conversation about ghosts, extinction, and walking the halls of museums. 👇
I’m loving this ciliate in slo-mo! Such beautiful cilia action. Keep watching to see it whizz about in real time. ID help appreciated!

A bit of underwater love for valentines. These Harpacticoida copepods are partaking in a mating sequence. As far as I can tell, some species of Harpacticoida engage in pre-mating guarding, others in post-copulatory guarding, so this behaviour we see here could be either.

#Women&GirlsinScienceDay Academic & particle physicist Anne Kernan was a huge advocate for women in science, on one occasion funding a trip to CERN for an undergrad she had never met, meeting her at the airport and paying for her accommodation until funding came through. www.dib.ie/biography/ke...
