Great collaboration between @paulbump.bsky.social and @planaria1.bsky.social lab. Some really surprising findings for cell type turnover during hemichordate metamorphosis.

I am beyond excited to share that my postdoc project @szndohrn.bsky.social and the @arnonelab.bsky.social is now available in #ScienceAdvances @science.org. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The website for the 12th European Conference on #Echinoderms (London, July 2026) has gone live today. I am pleased to be involved as a member of the organising committee. Please spread the word: www.euroechino.net

New @nhm-london.bsky.social 5-day course on integrative biodiversity discovery! Learn how to collect specimens, obtain genomic data, and interpret biodiversity using cutting edge phylogenomic analysis. It's free, and aimed at early career researchers: www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/...

@lowelab.bsky.social @laurentformery.bsky.social on whole-body single-cell RNA sequencing of the acorn worm Schizocardium californicum (Cameron & Perez, 2012). #Hemichordate "Our tissue-level atlas reveals ectodermal & endodermal cell types in larvae & adults occupy distinct transcriptional spaces"

My most effective exam question? I ask students to provide an example of something (eg, heterochrony, heterotopy, heterometry or heterotypy) from the literature. Then, discuss their findings with me before exam day. It's a fun method to engage in critical thinking & composition. 🚀 #pedagogy

I neglected to add that, though anyone can apply, French and Belgian students pay the same tuition fees as Quebec residents.

Joseph Botting (& his partner Lucy Muir) discovered the Castle Bank Biota (middle Ordovician, Wales), which shows exceptional preservation of very small animals. Wonderfully knowledgeable people. See for yourself.

Happy #HagfishDay! We found this #hagfish inside a sponge while exploring Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in 2018. The #Pacifichagfish (Eptatretus stoutii) is a slender, slimy, primitive fish found in cold waters worldwide.

Bacteria 🦠 🧫 play a crucial role in how animals become fossils! Read about how decay experiments demonstrate that bacteria from the gut dominate the thanatomicrobiome (the internal microbiome of decay) and probably control fossilisation in our new paper! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Ferricrete fossils show “individual pigment cells in fish eyes, internal organs of insects and fish, and even delicate spider hairs and nerve cells…” 🤯

If anybody is interested in (or knows someone interested in) doing a postdoc at Oxford on topics aligned with marine connectivity or oceanic forcing of coral reefs, I'm happy to discuss ideas and funding routes. One option is the 1851 Royal Commission fellowships (3 years, deadline Jan 2026)!

Reminder, we’re hiring 2 PhD students for next year!! I’m extending the deadline to Nov 1, but please get your app in soon if you’re interested in joining us! More info is on our webpage. 🦠🦑 Please share with ECRs you know as well and check out our other open positio. (Postdoc!)

Ever since @harrysavage.bsky.social mentioned it, stolonization has been haunting my waking hours. Now it can haunt yours too: some annelid worms develop a gamete-filled structure (stolon), which detaches and swims to find a mate. Some stolons have eyes, antennae, and nervous system 🤯 🧪🦀🦑 #evosky

🧪 What if we could share genetic sequences in a way that is equitable, and works for the greater good? Now in @natgenet.nature.com, we establish a framework for the open sharing of digital sequence information 🧬, compatible with FAIR, and designed to support access and benefit-sharing. 🧵

This is one of the reasons I am so passionate about the Caleb Scholars program. We give students funds to return home to learn from elders as they go to school, and we find undergrads though professional/PhD programs bc I know how hard it was to return home during grad school. www.calebscholars.org
