Karel Mocaer
This course is organized by Giovanna Benvenuto, Paolo Ronchi (@paoloronchi.bsky.social), Alexandra Kerbl, Karel Mocaer (@karel-mocaer.bsky.social) and Ina Arnone (@arnonelab.bsky.social)
The program features a panel of exceptional speakers, a keynote lecture, and extensive hands-on practical sessions.
We are excited to share that we are hosting a hands-on course on "Electron Microscopy of Marine Environmental Samples" 🔬🌊
📍Naples, Italy 🗓️ 8th-11th of April 2026

The best stories are the personal ones. So before we get to the new preprint, stay awhile and listen

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)

Thibaut Brunet
A study in Nature shows that the single-celled form of a tiny, aquatic organism can turn into a multicellular version by three different routes. The discovery adds insight to the possible origins of multicellular life, suggesting a previously unrecognized degree of flexibility. 🧪
The choanoflagellate Choanoeca flexa forms motile and contractile cell monolayers purely clonally, purely aggregatively or through a combination of both processes depending on environmental conditions.
