How ancient are the building blocks of animal sensory systems? Key components of animal sensory systems evolved before animals. We find that choanoflagellates possess diverse & spatially segregated TRP channels, pointing to ancient origins of sensory specialization. doi.org/10.64898/202...

Migratory species in marine ecosystems may be even more affected by climate change than terrestrial species. Sea turtles stand out: 85% are threatened, the highest share of any assessed marine migratory group. 🧪 — 🏡 IPBES #GlobalAssessment Action is needed this #WorldSeaTurtleDay and every day 🐢 🌍

They should build loads of data centers all over the place that contain huge quantities of books that people can borrow for free if they fill out a form to get a data center card and promise to return the books on time and don’t make too much noise in the data center.

I can’t resist: Reviewer 3: “Aim 3.1 is not feasible in my opinion”. No more argument, thus:

Wow! 200,000km² of ocean declared entirely off-limits to fishing in some of the most biodiverse waters on earth 🌏 That's a win 🙌 #oceanoptimism oceanographicmagazine.com/news/papua-n...

Overall, we're still speeding in the wrong direction!

It took 4.5 billion years of precise cosmic history to build an Earth that can support human life. Yet, we are risking it all for quarterly earnings. True intelligence means recognizing that a dead planet has a GDP of exactly zero. 🛑💼 #ClimateAction #EarthFirst

Russell Vought, Director of the OMB, has issued a set of proposed changes that would dramatically alter federal grant funding. However, we can each take action to prevent these from taking effect. Here's how, a 🧵 🧪 1/n www.science.org/content/arti...

Check out our 2026 subject collection, showcasing recent papers in @dev-journal.bsky.social on evolutionary developmental biology: journals.biologists.com/dev/collecti... It has been curated to support the 2026 Euro-Evo-Devo conference in Glasgow, UK. #EED2026

Spectacular Developmental Biology Jacques Monod Conference in Roscoff. Thanks to @bardinlab.bsky.social and @lionlchristiaen.bsky.social for putting together such an exciting scientific program. And the setting was incredible too, with a beautiful sunset to end the meeting.

A fossil nervous system meets modern neurobiology. We found that a living comb jelly preserves neural architecture remarkably similar to those inferred from Cambrian fossils over 500 million years old 🤩. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
