My good friend Kricket is deeply dedicated to studying the organism Stentor. Despite chronic illness and limited resources, she drives hours to the lab whenever she can. She’s been invited back to MBL this summer- please consider helping fund her stay! gofund.me/86b6b2f11 #plankton #microscopy
This was a Stentor timelapse we made earlier this week from her trip to Boston (which she also had to crowdfund). She was magically able to locate one ‘on demand’ despite that I very rarely find one in Boston. She also brought me samples from all the way up the east coast. #sciart #microscopy
Despite everything, Kricket continues to advance knowledge of this amazing single-celled organism. She has already discovered 3 new species, remarkable because only 13 are described. I would just love to help her get to the Marine Biological Laboratory this summer. #protists #Crowdfunding
