We developed an in-vivo assay to quantify phagocytosis of different particles by sponge cells. Happy to share this publication, the first of my Ph.D! frontiersin.org/articles/10.… – at Kiel, Germany

Interested to see how the breadcrumb sponge Halichondria panicea “eats up” particles? – at Kiel, Germany

New @whoi study shows that Reef benthic-metabolite-microbe connections matter for Caribbean reefs Exciting work by @lggray3 @LizKuj @CynthiaBecker25 @OceannLady and more. Thanks to @NSF @NOAA for funding (read more for surprise..)

New study by #IBED @KornderA and colleagues shows that sponges 'sneeze' to get rid of waste. Beautiful time-lapse shows the mucus collecting at central points and the sponge sneezing 👇

My favourite quote of the day: "Sponges are like presents, you never know what you get when you open them" by Swee-Cheng Lim from Singapore.
Closing off the #deepsea session are Swee-Cheng Lim NUS on finding new (tiny!) demosponges in Pacific abyssal plains and Erik Wurz @WUR on the adverse effects of deep sea mining on Geodia barretti #11worldspongeconference

The @sponge_2022 conference was also a great opportunity for H2020 @DeepSea_Sponges project partners to re-connect and share great science and moments again! The legacy of this project is just outstanding 🙌

Check out our new article where we show that corals can ventilate areas of high oxygen production by ciliary beating, helping them mitigate potential oxidative damage 🪸 cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Today’s #okeanos dive was a #deepsea #sponge bonanza. Several glass sponges, tetractinellids and even carnivorous sponges 🤩 Just perfect for #SpongeThursday
The day is young (and the dive just getting started), but we've already seen a wide variety of sponge body forms. See more on our livestream:

#Okeanos #voyagetotheridge
ALT A white sponge that is nearly nearly ear-like in shape
ALT A white sponge with pronounced large and small projections coming from its body
ALT A white sponge that resembles a spherical bouquet clustered on a slender stalk
ALT A large, white, tubular sponge
Our sneezing sponges 🤧 are now also in the print version of the #NewYorkTimes
Actually it was in the science section yesterday, but was only in stores on Hawai'i today...
The perks of #islandlife

The sneezing #sponges were featured in 250+ news articles around the world! 🤧 One more video? Small critters eat the sponge mucus, making the sponge a vital part of the ecosystem 🪱
