@s_besteiro TY!🙏

@Yeh_Lab Nice spotlight on the cool stuff you're doing Ellen. 👍

Our work discussed in this month's issue of the Scientist! the-scientist.com/better-living-…

@LlinasLab Still miss my parasite peeps 🥹

@Yeh_Lab Very cool - CONGRATS! Looks like you’ve been sucked into “The GREEN Side”!

Meet the PyShell!🥧🐚 Diatom pyrenoids fix up to 20% of the Earth's #CO2🌏. We discovered that their Rubisco is encased in a tight protein lattice that is essential for efficient carbon fixation and cell growth🌱 Super excited to share our new preprint📜: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A Protein Blueprint of the Diatom CO2-Fixing Organelle biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Beautiful work from @mackinderlab - an exciting developing story on unique pyrenoid structure and CCM mechanism of diatoms!

This how happy birthday 🎂 looks in our lab! @Sarah_Frail did an amazing job for the cake 🤩 @Yeh_Lab @StanfordPath

@McfaddenGeoff How did I miss this post?!

Today marks 25 years since we identified the apicoplast, a relict plastid in parasites of humans and animals (PMID 8632819). Apicoplasts are the target of the widely used antimalarial doxycycline, which has saved many thousands of lives.

@hitenmadhani @Nature Congrats! I love bringing folks with different backgrounds into the lab. Learn so much and a source of endless new ideas. Ada Lovelace called creativity "the combining faculty" that "brings together things, facts, conceptions in new, original, endless, ever-varying combinations."

@LMT_Spoon Looking forward!

@Mezarque We have some fun diatoms, the jewels of the seas !

I'm having a lot of fun designing fantasy #LEGO sets and would love to help other biologists highlight their research organisms and why they're interesting to study. What should I try to build next? 9/end

If you're interested in learning more about research in fruit flies, I'd recommend checking out iBiology, a free website which has a lot of great videos explaining the cutting edge of biological research with talks from world experts: ibiology.org 8/n

Catch @Sarah_Frail this week at the Mitochondria and Chloroplast @GordonConf presenting her brand-new data on a new nitrogen fixing #endosymbiont in #diatoms!

@AkhilVaidya1 ahhhh, we are soooo tiny compared to the universe.

@TrendsMicrobiol "Microbe of the month" a great way to learn about new microbes and I especially love this week's, Crocosphaera watsonii. Very on-topic for us! cell.com/trends/microbi…
