New preprint from the lab on #coral larval light responses, including ciliary arrests and body-wide contractions.

The motile planula larva of the reef-building coral Acropora millepora exhibits a distinct scotophobic response characterized by full-body contraction and ciliary arrest when exposed to abrupt light dimming. Through behavioural assays, we confirmed reductions in larval swimming speed and alterations in vertical and horizontal movement patterns under alternating light and dark conditions. High-speed microscopic imaging revealed that ciliary activity ceases upon light dimming, while the body contracts into a rounded shape, influencing swimming behaviour. These responses suggest an adaptive mechanism for maintaining optimal positioning within the highly structured and complex light environment of reef habitats, critical for coral recruitment and survival. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
A+ memetote¹ from #FT, the one² publication that has seen crypto with clear eyes from the jump (and has done more good journalism on the topic than anyone else by a country mile).
also if the words #memetote and #memebag didn't exist yet they do now.
¹ if you don't get the joke google "HFSP"
² literally the only one. i suspect their experience with #Wirecard has a lot to do with it given that #crypto is literally the same international cartel of cretins as Wirecard.

🏆 After nearly 20 years, Italy wins a Human Frontier Science Program #HFSP Fellowship!
Congratulations to our Karthik Ramanadane, Postdoc in the Coscia Group (Structural #Biology), who will study the molecular mechanisms of the #thyroid at HT, using a combination of #proteomics, cell-based assay, #CRISPRCas9 based screening, and #cryoET and CLEM approaches.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, Italy wins a Fellowship from the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP): our Karthik Ramanadane, Postdoc in the Coscia Group (Structural Biology), will pursue a challenging project on the molecular mechanisms of the thyroid at Human Technopole.
@fk There is a spread (I don't blame them) anti-crypto sentiment here in the fediverse generally, most of the "influencers" has a clear critic opinion or skeptic against #bitcoin etc.
Another element is that some bitcoin maximalists tend to have a toxic speech of superiority(ex. check the #HFSP slang they use), or defending capitalism and monopoly to extremist positions.
Personally I'd like to see some healthy Bitcoin community in Fediverse too with interesting debates (not FUDs).
Want to understand the evolution of first brains🧠? Come join us at the Michael Sars Centre (University of Bergen).
Postdoc position available: "Decoding the gelatinous origins of brain evolution" as part of our #HFSP grant with Fred Wolf (University Göttingen) #ctenophores. Boosts highly appreciated.
