Interesting research

Post by piotr »

A new member joined the Microscopy Webring (http://www.pirx.com/microscopy) - Professor Chris Lobban from University of Guam. Prof. Lobban's research is related to marine algae and protists. Quite recently, his group discovered a new genus of marine ciliate related to Stentor named Maristentor. The research and pictures are very impressive:

By the way, there are ~15 websites in the ring. On average, every member gets 3 visits per day, according to ring statistics. As usual, you are most welcome to join...

Thanks for the link. Very interesting.
I don't see the link to the webring on the page. Maybe I'm just missing it. Could you direct me or provide another link?
Thanks for the contribution!
