Dear Prof. Goodsell. This framed poster in my father’s office inspired me as a child. Now my lab in the Department of Biochemistry at CU-Boulder studies the spatial organization of single bacterial cells-with a focus on cyanobacteria. Thanks for your fantastic work!

This movie of a cyanobacterial colony growing from a single cell, taking in energy from light and inorganic nutrients to assimilate biomass and reproduce, is the essence of life. We are this with some extra baggage and dependencies. Enjoy the moment!
Life has no intrinsic purpose and we are all finite beings. You will be forgotten, so pls don't chase glory. Do fun things and strive to reduce suffering. No one is getting out of this alive so I find it hard to parse the grind culture of work in face of existential reality.

Hey DOE, I like you (and this paper) and all but come on..cyanoBACTERIA ARE actually bacteria. They are definitely not plants, but without them, we would not have plants, so…cyanobacteria are the best and that is for sure! (Movie E.B.J. and J.C.C.)
Cyanobacteria aren't bacteria or plants, but they act a little like both. As they photosynthesize, they have to balance how much energy they make with how much they use. Scientists

Don’t get me wrong, I love chloroplasts and even have a PhD in plant science, but cyanobacteria are the real OGs of photosynthesis!
Really not sure why biology is such a good dopamine cycle for me, but I do wish I could better communicate and share the joy of learning about the living world with others. It's such a unique high, with infinite niches of interest and subculture. Lots of room for everyone.

You need to read the whole article to understand the context of my quote on the last line: “I hope they are wrong,” says Jeffrey Cameron, a biochemist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Even so “it is a great thought exercise to do these calculations and debate them.”
The number of cells in living things exceeds the estimated number of sand grains on Earth by a factor of a trillion.
It’s 1 million times larger than all the stars in the universe.

I had to save two children in one swim session this spring. It was exactly like the picture and so easy to miss. Must be vigilant with young kids in the pool. Bright colored swimwear is key so they don’t blend in. Choking is also silent and I have PTSD from nearly losing a kid.
I saved my boy drowning one day, right in front of a life guard with only 4 kids to watch, and it happened exactly like this.
