Lovely wintry day in NYC ❄️

Glowing millipedes in hand ✨🪱
New Motyxia in the lab #FluorescenceFriday

Scraping glowing dinos from the plate 🌊💡 They flash when disturbed, and we use their light-emitting compounds in some of our bioluminescence assays.

Glowing millipedes in the bag, off to the lab. #FluorescenceFriday

Millipedes aren't just nocturnal wanderers, they glow! Under UV light, Motyxia sequoiae exoskeletons reveal a striking blue-green fluorescence. 🔬✨
#FluorescenceFriday #Millipedes

Our lab’s millipedes glow twice: green bioluminescence in the dark and blue fluorescence under UV. 💚💙 #FluorescenceFriday

Meet our newest glow‑in‑the‑dark recruits! 🐛

Our paper describing a new green-light-emitting photoprotein from the ctenophore Velamen parallelum is now out in The FEBS Journal!
