And to finish ! A very warm thx to my two Buddies #Tom Battin & @nikobiota.bsky.social - all seen here enjoying one last drink after the chaos. For putting all of this together in such a short time. To witness the new generation of ECR being inspired by such research is just a Bliss... Thanks all.

Its a wrap. What a unique opportunity we had here at #ALPOLE #Sion with the @embl.org AML lab! We sampled... a lot. We worked... hard. And we had a lot, a lot, but really alot of fun. >30 ECR trained >500 distinct samples across 2 weeks + too many protists awwwed at. An amazing community growing.

And to the #Ichthyosporeans team! Wow, 280+ distinct samples,Agar, liquid & SCsorted in 5d! Obtained even from very wild spots (only discussed with drinks)! A life experience, & hopefully some new frontiers opened. But again, so much fun funny fun fun. Its a blessing to work with you all. Really!

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
