Super happy to see my first PhD work out in @PNASNews, describing analytically how geometry affects gliding motility! Big thanks to everyone, especially my supervisor @SchwarzUlrich (read his thread!) and Mirko and Freddy from @FrischknechtLab. Read here:
New paper out in @PNASNews: how is gliding motility of microorganisms like malaria parasites determined by cell shape and surface flow? Great work by fabulous PhD-student @LeonLettermann, with Falko Ziebert and inspiration by @FrischknechtLab, @clhueschen and @TardieuXlab. 1/9

Made with #blender, very handy for shiny visualization of complex (e.g. 3D) data, here the trajectories of malaria sporozoites moving through a hydrogel! Great experiments by Mirko Singer at @FrischknechtLab , we tracked the sporozoites and rendered the resulting trajectories!
The 2025 calendar of the German Research Foundation (DFG) is out Congrats to @LeonLettermann, whose picture of malaria parasites was selected for November. Imaging data from @FrischknechtLab, funding from DFG priority programme 2332 @ParasitePhysics.
