Caught a Ctenophore in my plankton net today. I know how they look, but I still looked like 😲🥹 when I put it back into the water and saw its irridescence! 🤯

Today was a big day for the lab: we submitted our first real paper!!! 🥳 It's hard to believe we're here and I'm so excited and proud of us.

But this isn't a thread about the paper.
I want to share (esp with my senior colleagues) what it took for us to get from 2020 to here. 1/

Gotta catch ‘em all: Agar microchambers for high-throughput single-cell live imaging

Constraining motile microorganisms for live imaging often requires costly microfluidics or optical traps to keep them in view. We used patterned stamps and agar to make versatile, inexpensive “microchambers” and offer a way to predict the right chamber size for a given organism.

(1/n) “Period poverty” defined as lack of sanitary products & toilets to more than 500million women is a key roadblock in providing gender equity worldwide. Can sustainable, distributed, local, open-source bio-manufacturing help? Read our latest pre-print: https://chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv/article-details/643daf011d262d40eaa857c8

Agave Sisalana for distributed production of absorbent media for menstrual pads in semi-arid regions

Agaves are robust, draught tolerant plants that have been cultivated for their high-strength fibers for centuries and they hold great promise as a crop in the face of increasing water scarcity associated with a warming planet. Meanwhile, millions of women lack access to sanitary products to safely manage their menstruation particularly in low- and middle-income countries characterized by a dry climate. To address this issue, we show a processing route that transforms the leaves of the succulent Agave sisalana into a highly absorbent and retentive (23 g/g) material. The process involves delignification combined with mechanical fluffing to increase affinity for water and porosity, respectively. This process leads to a material with an absorption capacity exceeding those found in commercially available products such as menstrual pads. Finally, the carbon footprint water usage associated with this process is comparable with common alternatives with the added benefit that it can be carried out at small scales while remaining environmentally sustainable. Our work represents a step towards distributed manufacturing of essential health and hygiene products based on a local bioeconomy.
