Just received news of the English release of "Cells – The Illustrated Story of Life" by Christian Sardet. A beautiful and inspiring book, and I’m honored to have contributed a few images to it. Thank you @cellsandplankton.bsky.social , and congratulations on this wonderful achievement!

If you wanna know why and how we study giant bacteria, check out Matters Microbial #103. @markowenmartin.bsky.social and I dive into centimeter-long Thiomargarita magnifica and microbial complexity --> www.microbe.tv/mm/mm-103/ #MattersMicrobial #Podcast #GiantBacteria

👋 Hi Bluesky! Excited to finally join. I’m Jean-Marie Volland, assistant professor at UCSB, where my lab studies giant bacteria and other uncultivated and unusual microbes. We use microscopy and genomics uncover how cells evolve complexity, move in extraordinary ways, and form symbioses.
