🧬 Our latest paper out in Scientific Reports! We explored how Gum Arabic (a dietary fibre) affects the microbiota–gut–brain axis and whole-organism fitness in zebrafish. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... @immler.bsky.social @biouea.bsky.social What we found ⬇️

Our new paper is out in Dev Biol! 🎉 🐸🧬 We show #miR-196a directs #neural crest fate in #Xenopus by repressing immature neural #ectoderm — evidence #miRNAs can potentially drive, not just fine-tune, early patterning 👉 Read more here: doi.org/10.1016/j.yd... @devbiol.bsky.social @biouea.bsky.social

Big thanks to the organisers and chairs for accepting my abstract, this was such a great session to be a part of 🧬🔥🌎🐟

Thanks to all those that attended the @sortee.bsky.social led symposium at #ESEB2025 and for those that met up on Wednesday!! If you’re interested in joining SORTEE and supporting open science in EcoEvo, consider becoming a member! sortee.org/join/

Screaming into the blue void: anyone out there interested in some long-read #pacbio #european #wolf #sequence data? We have too much data from a pilot to not use, but it is too little data to assemble a #T2T on our own. Open to #collaboration. Get in touch!

Now on my way to #ESEB2025, Barcelona here we come!

Today’s the day! Our 2025 Research Colloquium, celebrating the research taking place here in BIO, starts at 09:30 in the Thomas Paine Study Centre. A fantastic day of talks awaits us, including our guest speaker Jean-Baptiste Raina of the University of Technology, Sydney! #UEABioResearch #UEAScience

🧵 🧪 1/ Female #ReproductiveBiology is, unfortunately, notoriously understudied. So maybe it’s no surprise that a supposedly useless ‘developmental leftover’ in the ovaries could turn out to be...not so useless after all. Meet the rete ovarii 👇 buff.ly/VudxQ2U
