We were delighted to take part in this incredible video devised by biophysics PhD student & alumna Hannah Laeverenz-Schlogelhofer who found an inspiring way to incorporate her love of dance into her Homeward Bound expedition to Antarctica. Watch it here: youtu.be/5oBEjIGmgq8

Want some heartwarming #humpday distraction? Then check out this global dance collaboration made by my Homeward Bound roomie Hannah Laeverenz-Schlogelhofer. We are all connected 💚💙💜💙💚m.youtube.com/watch?v=5oBEjI…

People from all over the 🌎 have taken part in creating this address, answering polls, creating videos & voicing their opinions about #climatechange in advance of #COP24> bit.ly/2U9iXSf The People’s Seat enables people to take personal #climateaction. #TakeYourSeat

Really nice interview by Hannah Laeverenz-Schlogelhofer with Margherita Turco on the development of placental organoids The Naked Scientists. thenakedscientists.com/podcasts/short…

My internship with The Naked Scientists 🎧 has come to an end and today the show I put together has been published! From farm to folk - it's all about the microbes that get food to the table - featuring #soil 🌱, #sauerkraut 🥬, #cows 🐮 and #cheese 🧀... thenakedscientists.com/podcasts/naked…

#FridaysForFuture What a moment this is! Moving scenes at the #ClimateStrike in #London today and incredible to see images of the strikes all across this wonderful planet 🌍

See her, be her! Keep it going, thank 10 women. Among so many other wonderful Homeward Bound women, I'm inspired by and thankful to Dr. Catherine Sorbara Rashmi Venkatraman Dr Maddie Brasier Dr Rachelle Balez👩🏽‍🔬🧠🔬👩🏽‍🎨 KateDuncan Justine Shaw @_christiebeth @FernWickson Priscilla Wehi Dr. McManus

More than 280 #womeninSTEMM call for a Marine Protected Area to be established in the West Antarctic Peninsula. It's ludicrous that this doesn't already exist. theconversation.com/humans-are-wre…

#AntarcticaNOW team members are proud to publish in #Nature today - a call to action for protecting the Western Antarctic Peninsula through a Marine Protected Area. We can make a difference & the time to do it is NOW. nature.com/articles/d4158… #conservation #Antarctica #science

So happy that this work from my PhD has been published! By combining an advanced single-cell isotope mapping technique (SIMS) & mathematical modelling we explore the nutrient exchange in an algal-bacterial mutualism doi.org/10.1371/journa…

🎄"single cells, single #cells... single all the way... 🎶 oh what fun it is to ride... for-one-hour-in-a-closed-microfluidic-device!" ☃️ All revealed in our new preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Great work Sam, Hannah Laeverenz-Schlogelhofer, Vasilis Anagnostidis and Fabrice Gielen! #microswimmers #cilia

Such an honour and joy to collaborate with Homeward Bound sisters and be a part of this book #Antarcticness. For our chapter, we wrote a shared reflection on our Homeward Bound experiences. Free download uclpress.co.uk/products/180737 Launch event Thurs 24 Feb eventbrite.com/e/antarcticnes…

We often think of #corals as being rather sedentary, but did you know they have motile larvae? What makes them swim: #cilia of course! 🪸 Our new preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110… explores the ciliary flows induced by single larvae of the broadcast spawning coral Acropora... 1/

You've found a new species of some motile microbe, you want to study its #motility and behaviour, but it's too fast and too sneaky, what do you do? Build a ufluidic trap so it can't escape! hope you'll enjoy reading our paper out today in eLife - the journal! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… 1/

Fascinated by the active lives of microscopic organisms? Then check out this new toolkit we've put together on the methods available for investigating their behaviours... arxiv.org/abs/2303.00068

Final version of our article now online - free and open access for your viewing pleasure doi.org/10.1093/icb/ic… thanks to all authors - a real team effort led by Karen Grace Bondoc-Naumovitz and Hannah Laeverenz-Schlogelhofer (psst new version of fig 1 even has a copepod...) #motility

🎉📢 Hannah Hannah Laeverenz-Schlogelhofer 's paper is out in Current Biology! Ever wondered how a single cell coordinates multiple appendages to rapidly change gait? Ans: #bioelectricity! doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… (free and open access) One for all you #protists and #cilia lovers out there!

Excited to see #euplotes adorning the cover of Current Biology ! (look at all those cilia!) Hannah Laeverenz-Schlogelhofer Thanks to Christian Hacker for the beautiful micrograph and sharing our love of imaging protists... doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Also many thanks to Ben Larson and Wallace Marshall for writing an excellent dispatch doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… about our paper! (I especially appreciate the citation of van Leeuwenhoek, 1677...)
