New preprint alert! 🦠🔬
We quantitatively evaluated the swimming and flagellar movement of Chattonella, a red-tide alga.
Chattonella has two unequal flagella, and we found a positive correlation between anterior flagellum length and swimming speed. #protistonsky

🎉 Big congrats to Alessandro Culicchii, a post-doc in my team! Thanks to the @isme-microbes.bsky.social Mobility Fund, he’s heading to Paris to work with @luciebittner.bsky.social on bacteria and protist association networks in Masurian lakes, using #MicroDivEr data. Good luck!

Protistology Open 2026 Protistology Open 2026 will bring together experts from around the world who study protists – all eukaryotes excluding plants, animals, and fungi.

Thinking of attending the Protistology meeting in April. Anyone have details on abstract submission? Can't find anything on the website. registration.cas.cz/PROTIST2026/...

Our study on the first rhodopsin channels known to respond to UV light is now published in PNAS! And they come from our favourite protists, apusomonads! #protistonsky

Just got here on this platform. We are a physics meets biology meets math meets engineering meets field work lab focused on uncovering “recreational biology” - whimsical biological puzzles that make you think. Latest from our lab - a protist trying to literally balloon its way up🎈 #protistonsky

Thrilled to start sharing our lab life and research updates here! Kicking things off with a huge congrats to Michał Karlicki on his successful PhD defence! 🎉 So proud of his journey and grateful for all he’s contributed to our team. Here’s to the next chapter, Michał! 💫

"Culturing is a risky business," and it is also painful "but it is worth the effort". For someone working on protist cultivation that paper is pure motivation. Thank you! www.cell.com/trends/micro... #protistonsky
