My samples are still full of tintinnid ciliates! This one is poking out of its lorica to show us its lovely single-celled body.

We're hiring for several positions (a post-bac researcher in #transcriptomics, a #phage #postdoc, a senior researcher (broad topics) and a graduate student to work on #ciliates) - find info here: www.marine.usf.edu/genomics/app...
I posted a two new videos! Both are extremely short, audio free, and pretty low effort. One is a boring old rotifer, and the other is this massive ciliate of the Spirostomum genus: youtu.be/sLYNNaYBZUw

I had no idea how cool #Stentor #Ciliates are - some videos make it appear that there is a moving chainsaw slurping up food (itβs only 2mm long) and the mouth is all about wave motion of tiny cilia. Check out the videos on the #Wikipedia page! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stentor_(ciliate
I do not know if this is ok for the #BlueSkyArtShow but here I go. These ciliates are going crazy in a sea of ββfood (bacteria).
I inverted the colours and passed to black and white. I hope you like it.
