Cellular structure self-organizes through an interplay between internal mechanisms and external cues. The single-celled suctorian P. collini builds a trap structure to capture large prey using microtubule feeding tentacles, creating feedback between cell morphology and prey availability.

embedded rust has been such a dream , so excited to see this. am still stuck on esp-idf for @bevy.org esp32 experiments with poe (using a lovely board designed by @lucysrausch.bsky.social) but am hoping to be able to go fully no-std soon! ✨

wow, first report I am hearing about of direct adverse health effects from using leaded solder…
