What the hell is Ceratium Ranipes?

As not all readers are familiar with the fascinating diversity of  microorganisms (my being the less familiar of them...), here's a short explanation of what this creature is.

 Ceratium is a genus part of  dinoflagellates, microscopic planktonic plants. Famous for them typical shape, they are found in freshwater and marine environments. They are mixotrophs. That means they indulge in both the pleasure of predation and light feeding. Their "arms" serve them to float but are rather awkard to swim. They are not toxic and that's rather pleasant for a dinoflagellate, as they are well-known for having a tendency to bloom and create red tides. If you want to know more about them, check out the links below!

Max's back from Berlin!!!




Max’s back from Berlin!
Between the 24th and 29th of July was held the fourth European congress of protistology in Berlin, Germany. Prof. Jan Pawlowski sponsored Max to participate and present his work through a poster and a presentation.  




The real prof.Osman and some of Max's friends are somewhere on this picture... try to find them, if you've got nothing better to do!

 It was a wonderful experience, with a lot of nice feedback.  I came back filled with motivation and ideas to continue Max’s adventures. 




The poster exposed during the five days of the congress...

In the coming months, other drawings, caricatures and small comics dealing with Science will be published here in order to keep you waiting between each MKG... 

All the best!
