What’s living in the bird bath? A bit of extra curricular home schooling microscopy, we found this amazing vorticella...busy hoovering up the little stuff while the bigger guys go for a merry-go-round ride...@BBCSpringwatch @ChrisGPackham

It's with great sadness that we say goodbye to Jack Dickenson @JED_Science as he moves onto pastures new! Good luck! You'll be missed! Slightly unconventional goodbye ceremony in the car park with an amazing PhD hat made by @Kimberley_EBird and @birthe_z @thembauk

Thank #Fungi it's Friday 🍄 @MbaCell @sea_bugs we have established a unique collection of fungi isolated from a range of #marine ecosystems, including seaweed-associated and coastal waters. @darwintreelife will sequence their genomes to explore their #biology and #evolution

Exciting news! Out now, @MbaCell publication on the molecular and phylogenetic analysis of the hypersaline species Dunaliella salina, revealing new diversity which has important economic significance. doi.org/10.1017/S00253154200… @thembauk #dunaliella #biotechnology

At @MbaCell we often have to isolate strains of algae from the environment. Here we can see the process of single cell picking where an individual cell is removed from a sample using a fine glass pipette. The cell is washed & grown into a culture of thousands of cells! #algae

We're very excited to now have the ZEISS PALM MicroBeam Microscope for laser capture microdissection set up in our new microscope suite. It allows visual identification and contact free, uncontaminated isolation of individual cells and tissues! @zeiss_micro @GLWheeler2

Happy World Algae Day! Here at @MbaCell we house the MBA Culture Collection of Microalgae. Our first culture was collected in 1912 and we've been collecting ever since! #worldalgaeday @thembauk
