Definitely!

That's one for the quote wall

OK, this jumped straight to the front of my podcast queue

& here's the sub itself. The robot arms are controlled by two little robot arm-shaped joysticks in a control room with a wall of monitors showing feeds from the cameras on the front of the sub.

Here's the R/V Falkor (too) and the bay inside with the amazing robot sub (SuBastian), suspended from a giant A frame for deploying it through an even larger door. The two workbenches in front give you a sense of scale. You can also just make out @archaeal.bsky.social in front of the Falkor

Terrifying. Without a watermark, these would be hard to catch. I wonder what the Western blot or Hela cell image equivalent is for six-fingered hands in early AI portraits?

I think they had to go with propane--ethane was proving to be hard to track down

Fantastic to see the lab filling up!

Bon voyage!

We have wondered what a complex archaeal cell might look like ever since 2014. It’s been a long road (and the journey is far from over), but it’s a good time to pause for breath and look. These Asgard archaeal cells are a surprise! And that is the joy of being a cell biologist.

Love it! (My kids are also total Silksong addicts)
