Open Microcosm 0.1.0 is out: a free, open-source microscope simulator of real microbial life

Open Microcosm 0.1.0 has been released, a free, open-source microscope simulator of real microbial life. The tool runs on Windows and Linux, and biological ontologies are defined in TOML files. Commenters saw uses in undergraduate teaching and fermentation modeling, and noted the lack of a macOS version; the project is positioned as a teaching/visualization tool, not a research-grade simulation, and its biological fidelity awaits community validation.
