One of the best brachiopods I’ve ever found, most likely a mucrospirifer abundant during the Devonian period ~400 million years ago

How do the giant cell Stentor and the algae that live inside it cooperate? A Physiology course alumnus returns to the MBL to explore. https://t.co/bBmqNwrszk

@MBLPhys is definitely a lot of microscopy but is also about exploring some wild, wild physiology in other ways. Here are plates of marine fungi collected from the Eel Pond near @MBLScience. Team Wildcats with @GladfelterLab and @brangwynnelab is on a roll.
