The winners of this year’s Nikon Small World in Motion are out, and my favorite is the 5th place entry, A newborn sea urchin walking along the seabed by Alvaro Migotto: It’s adorable to see these newly metamorphosed echinoderms and their long and chubby tube feet learning how to walk. This scene reminded me of […]

The mitotic waves made it onto the Sächsische Zeitung, a regional newspaper published in Dresden (thanks to Katrin Boes from MPI-CBG). They wrote a nice little piece about the video. I translated it to English (using DeepL…). You can read it below. Scientist receives coveted film award Dresden researcher turns little fruit flies into movie […]
My video of mitotic waves won Nikon’s 2024 Small World in Motion video competition! I’m thrilled 🎉 To learn more about the video, check out Nikon’s press release and their article for the series Masters of Microscopy. There’s also a blog post that I wrote a couple of years ago with some biological information and […]
Kinya Ota’s Lab investigates the embryonic development and evolutionary biology of goldfish. Their YouTube channel has a great diversity of videos describing laboratory techniques, culture conditions, developmental time lapses, and a lot more. I’ve seen a few videos about fertilization and embryos, but I just found out that they’re doing a series on goldfish evo-devo! […]
When I was finishing my master’s thesis, I created a video to summarize my findings and posted it online. I wanted to share the wonderful things I saw under the microscope—cells dividing, tissues folding, embryos spinning, larvae metamorphosing, juveniles crawling between sand grains. But I also wanted to convey the thrill I felt, seeing these […]
Last week, we attended a concert at a local jazz bar, where the band performed the songs of Chief Adjuah (formerly Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah). I had not heard of him before. I’m currently listening to his complete discography, and enjoying it very much.
Here’s another case of invertebrates in pop culture. A Finnish indie band called Saaret has a song titled Moss Animals, which is the common name for bryozoans! Fittingly, the song’s cover features an image of a bryozoan embryo: How can I tell that’s a bryozoan embryo? I studied them for years during my PhD. The […]
