🌊 Happy World Ocean Day! 🌊 To celebrate the beauty and wonder of the Ocean, here is a close-up series of the jellyfish Cyanea lamarckii 🪼 These images were exhibited at the @universitetsmuseet.bsky.social inviting us to appreciate the ocean’s wonders up close. #WorldOceanDay #jellyfish

Corymorpha nutans, it is also the first jelly that appears with the stomach full. They bud from a polyp like the one in this video from @alexandrejan.bsky.social. Crazy hydrozoans!

What better time to celebrate #InverteFest than during plankton season! Check out some of the wonders we found last week while sampling in the Norwegian fjords 🔬🌊 How many species can you identify? @pawelburkhardt.bsky.social @msarscentre.bsky.social

It was an honor to take part in the celebration of 200 years of knowledge at @universitetsmuseet.bsky.social, together with colleagues from across @unibergen.bsky.social departments 🎉🎂 The Burkhardt group showcased comb jellies in the Museum's majestic whale hall ✨ @pawelburkhardt.bsky.social
