Final version @nature.com of our paper describing unconventional multicellular development in a choanoflagellate inhabiting an extreme environment. A ton of new data since the first @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social preprint (which we've kept updating).
A brief 🧵 (carried over from the old place)

That’s unfortunate! I would love to try a handheld peristaltic pump 😊
I need to know more! Is this is a custom design of yours?
Science in action... a research cruise to explore marine viruses & their microbial hosts made possible by NSF support and held together by the talents of @negilbert.bsky.social (now at Syracuse U) and Daniel Muratore (now at SFI), @camelia-s-gochev.bsky.social (of Technion) & many more...
New with @tn-marine-micro.bsky.social, exploring how viral-mediated infection and lysis can fuel the marine food web:

Such a great team that included @sullivan-lab.bsky.social , @ab-knox.bsky.social, @jdebruyn.bsky.social, Debbie Lindell and so many amazing staff and students. And yes - still more to come from this project.

Our paper on how viral lysis may influence system biogeochemistry in the Sargasso Sea subsurface oxygen max (SOM) is finally published! Thanks to all coauthors and especially @tn-marine-micro.bsky.social for providing the opportunity to work on this project integrating field work and modeling
congrats @atruch.bsky.social !! Can’t wait to read it
Introducing ** Incendiamoeba **, a eukaryote that can live at temperatures well beyond what we thought possible. 63C!!
Read @hbrappap.bsky.social thread to see what we’ve already started to learn from this amazing organism!
