    Larvaceans are making a splash in the news

    Many news outlets have picked up on our recent publication in the scientific journal Nature. A great article published in the New York Times can be found online here. We've seen several different ways that our 3D reconstructions of giant larvacean mucus structures are explained to the broader public, including the term "snot palaces" that has appeared in an AP news release and other websites. #larvaceans #DeepPIV #news

    Our latest paper has been published in Nature

    Years in the making, the latest results on using our laser-based deep-sea imaging tool DeepPIV have been published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature. We present 3D visualizations creating unprecedented views of the mucus structures created by giant larvaceans in the Monterey Bay. You can find the paper online on the Nature website. #DeepPIV #larvaceans #news #filtration
