If you are interested in the fascinating world of #protists but are finding this platform less and less engaging, I have create a feed on 🔵Sky for us: #ProtistsOnSky. Grab an invite and see you there, it's much calmer

@Bionicnic Wir vermissen dich auch! Looking forward to seeing you again! Come visit the lab and dive in Okinawa 🐠🐟

@ansborodina Miss you guys! 🪸🔬🇯🇵

New study out! and this one is special to me. We describe two new Ophirinina species including the new genus Agogonia and show that ophirinids is the clade sister to all other jakobids. Here we also explore some cool aspects of eukaryotic evolution… 👇 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/ev…

The adventures continue!

Under-appreciated fields are the ones with higher potential to change our conceptual frameworks. Protists are, undoubtedly, one of the most under-appreciated research fields. It is because of this potential that we work with, love and believe in #protists.

This is a tour de force, when you know the importance of telonemids for the deep eukaryote evolution: 5 new species (one new genus) are presented. On the origin of TSAR: morphology, diversity and phylogeny of Telonemia pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35291881/

We thank the reviewers for their helpful suggestions

Why spend 4 minutes doing something in Excel when you can do it in R in 4 hours?
