And that's a wrap @MBLScience! What a fantastic 6 weeks here with friends new and old. Thank you so much to @GillisLab and @RawlinsonLab for hosting us (and many others for the support and collaboration)! Now can't wait to get back to @UoABioSci for final data analysis 😊😊😊

The 3rd Congress on Evolutionary Biology is over. It was great to meet many and new people, researchers, and evolutionary biologists (such as @DedukhDmitrij) and represent @McMasterU and @CharlesUniPRG. #Evol2024 #evolution #xenopus #opjak #SexChromosomes

Thank you for the engaging talk Jessica - @sluglife28
Nudibranchs steal stinging nematocytes from the anenomes they eat. Jessica and her lab group are figuring out how this works and happens
Thank you Tilly!! And thanks to everyone who listened in today :)
Congratulations @DJsnails82 on your award winning presentation at today's @UoABioSci PG research day! It was great to hear an overview of your whole PhD. So much can be learnt with transcriptomics, imaging and crispr

Are you a mathematician / physicist / engineer and curious about how single-cell embryos self-organize into complex animals? Then check out this PhD opportunity with @LinusSchumacher and myself: findaphd.com/phds/project/ea…

Google photos likes to put together collages for me, and I apparently still have a ton of frog photos left over from my time genotyping frogs at @XenopusNXR because it gifted me with this today
Started the day feeling like the Titan (poorly made and ready to implode under pressure), ended the day feeling like the Deep-sea Challenger (properly prepared for upcoming challenges)
A big day for molluscs!!!
So excited to share that we've been able to generate knockout lines in the bobtail squid Euprymna berryi! The albinos are nearly transparent, which enables in vivo neural activity recording. Now out in @CurrentBiology authors.elsevier.com/c/1hHXf…

To avoid straining your eyes at work, use the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, go for a 20-minute hike and spend the next 20 years in the woods.
A friend back home is sending me a package (for research purposes but also a fun gift of USA only crisps) and had to fill out a customs form. How do you explain this to customs

Our latest coral CRISPR paper is out at @PNASNews. We extended our methods to study gene function in coral juveniles. We found that a hard coral-specific bicarbonate transporter is required for coral skeleton formation.

MISS fellowship programs are designed to support gender minorities of color with professional development and training in shark sciences.

ALT Dark grey background, titled "MISS Fellowship Programs", below are logos of all partner programs. A text box says "MISS Fellowship programs provide MISS members with practical experience and progessional development in shark sciences. MISS partners with organizatins with existing internship programs to cover room, board, travel, any associated fees and to provide a stipend!" To the right are 3 circular pictures of MISS fellows in the field. Below are 3 pictures of more MISS fellows in the field. Pictures are a girl restraining a hammerhead shark, a woman underwater diving, and a phhoto of the sunset on a beach with people walking.
Sleight lab's first Crepidula fornicata microinjection needles! Very exciting day, time to microinject some snail embryos @VS_Marine

📣📣 Few more days to apply ⬇️ deadline on April 18. Great opportunity to work with me and @tesni_houlston this summer at @UoABioSci on a research project involving honeybee behaviour 🐝 🧠
Looking for a funded lab placement within biosciences this summer? 1st/2nd-year UGR students welcome to apply for one of the available @EastbioDTP REP projects at eastscotbiodtp.ac.uk/availab…. Closing 18 April 2023. @SRUC @aberdeenuni @SBSatEd
No one ever told me that a marine biology research position was mostly just spending your time trying to find a specific kind of tube or pipe
