It's #MicroscopyMonday, so let's take a peek into the 🔬 (and into the 👂). These red blood cells inside the cochlea arteriole were imaged at the MBL during the Biology of the Inner Ear Advanced Research Training Course. This was done using 90 nm slice selections and transmission electron microscopy. Credit: Ana I. López-Porras, University of Kentucky

Über uns
The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) is dedicated to scientific discovery – exploring fundamental biology, understanding marine biodiversity and the environment, and informing the human condition through research and education. Founded in Woods Hole, Massachusetts in 1888, the MBL is a private, nonprofit institution and an affiliate of the University of Chicago.

Few animals are as endearingly weird as tardigrades. Tardigrades are famously resilient, able to survive conditions of extreme temperature, radiation, desiccation, or pressure by shrinking, suspending their metabolism, and entering a death-like state called tun. They can even weather the extremely harsh conditions of outer space. Students in the 2023 MBL Embryology course got a chance to work with tarditrades brought to Woods Hole by Bob Goldstein of University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, whose lab is developing tardigrades as a research organism. Goldstein also brought fluorescent dyes for the students to experiment with imaging of live tardigrades, which are typically imaged in a nonliving, chemically fixed state. Their explorations have led to a new procedure for live-cell imaging of tardigrades, recently published in STAR Protocols by the Goldstein lab together with nine students and two teaching assistants from the Embryology course.

Pigmentation is a well-understood means of coloration in nature, but some colors, especially blue and green, in many animals is created instead by nanostructures that work in the same way as a soap bubble to create color. A great example comes from the scales of butterflies. Studies on butterfly structural coloration have produced a wealth of data describing the nanostructures and physics involved in their coloration, but little is known about how butterflies actually build these nanostructures during development. Scientists in the Nipam Patel Lab are interested in understanding how butterflies erect these nanostructures while the sales are developing within the chrysalis. Photo: Blue Morpho Butterfly.

Since 2003, marine ecologist David Johnson has spent time doing field work in the Plum Island Ecosystem, a long-term ecological research station (LTER) MBL Ecosystems Center. This video from Science News Magazine highlights Johnson's work documenting fiddler crabs pushing northward into Great Marsh. Anne Giblin, Director of the Ecosystems Center, is also featured.
