Meet EnkiLife's Mascot — Lumi, the Leaf Sheep
In the vast ocean of life, there are always some extraordinary beings that interpret the wisdom of evolution in their unique ways. Today, with great excitement, we'd like to introduce EnkiLife's Mascot — Lumi, the Leaf Sheep! This "sea sprite" is set to join EnkiLife in uncovering the unknown realms of the cellular and protein worlds.
Why the Leaf Sheep?
The Leaf Sheep, Costasiella kuroshimae, is not a plant, but a magical marine mollusk (sea slug). It has a lively figure, keen antennae, and bright eyes, looking like a little sprite in the ocean. What's truly amazing about it is the "collaboration" going on inside its body — it can selectively take in chloroplasts from algae cells and cleverly integrate and maintain them within itself to carry out photosynthesis later on.
Here are a few reasons why we chose the Leaf Sheep:
- Unveiling the Mysteries of Life: The Leaf Sheep is a wonder in the world of life. Its existence inspires us to keep diving deep into the journey of life's evolution and explore the fundamental principles of how life works.
- Resilience and Curiosity: Living in the vast ocean, the Leaf Sheep thrives amidst the unknown and challenges. This adaptability and resilience are just like those of every researcher standing in front of the lab bench — facing repetitive tasks, unknowns, and pressures, yet still keeping the determination and passion to explore.
- Empowering Research Collaboration: The symbiotic relationship between the Leaf Sheep and chloroplasts is a great example of collaboration. It symbolizes EnkiLife's desire to be a reliable partner on your research journey, empowering your exploration and helping you make scientific breakthroughs.
Get to Know Your Science Companion
Starting today, Lumi, the Leaf Sheep is officially joining EnkiLife! It will become your Science Companion, showing up on our official website and social media to help introduce cutting-edge technologies and share useful information for you. In the future, EnkiLife will incorporate more Leaf Sheep-themed items that combine cellular aesthetics, protein technology, and practical value. They'll be there to accompany you on every adventure.
