A colleague just thoughtfully dropped this off for me. I had never heard of it before, but it turns out to be a fantastic little resource for protist identification. Nice drawings with good descriptions of behavior and sampling tips. #protistsonsky

I am really happy to share that I have started as PI of an @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social-funded 3-year project @clpskuleuven.bsky.social. I'll investigate how scientists conceptualize, model & measure environments across the life, cognitive, social & Earth sciences! #philsci #philsky #evosky #envhum 🧪

Not a definitive, but an intriguing study on associative conditioning in slime molds: "Exposure to paired blue light and nutrient alters aversive responses in Physarum polycephalum" https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.09.09.750388v2 #biology #research #learning #memory #conditioning
