🚨🧪Help us share: Registration deadline to the MBL #Symbiosis course got extended! Join us to get practical experience on a diversity of symbiotic organisms at the legendary MBL in Woods Hole.

March 12 is your last chance to apply for the MBL's 2025 Molecular and Cell Biology of Symbiosis course! 🗓️ This immersive, research-based course facilitates state-of-the-art experimental approaches in symbiosis research. Read more: bit.ly/4ig81fJ #ScienceStartsHere

Fantastic news! 👏Congrats James!

Preprint alert! 🧪📣 The latest work of the Steinmetz group @prhsteinmetz.bsky.social on the nutritional control of quiescence in Nematostella is out! Congratulations to lead author @eudaldpascual.bsky.social & @ktgarschall.bsky.social 👏 Read the story ⤵️

Thrilled to share our new prepreprint on the nutritional control of #Nematostella Vasa+/Piwi+ cells. Prolonged starvation delays Tor activation & cell cycle re-entry indicating quiescence deepening! tinyurl.com/2k9azd4y @eudaldpascual.bsky.social @ktgarschall.bsky.social @msarscentre.bsky.social

Thrilled to see #choanoflagellates on the cover of Science Advances🤩. Our latest work "Electrical signaling and coordinated behavior in the closest relative of animals" out now. Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 👏 @jeffcolgren.bsky.social @msarscentre.bsky.social

1/3 I am very excited to tell you about our latest work where we looked not only into sea anemones but also 🪸 We find in #Nematostella that stress induces not immunity, but also viral replication, actually much faster than the immune response! 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy to share that the Gahan lab will be branching out (or more like returning) to working on Nematostella in the near future. Details will follow but for now if anyone is interested in doing a Postdoc or PhD in 2025 on chromatin in Nematostella drop me a message :)

At the Michael Sars Centre, 📢 We are hiring Group Leaders! 🌊 Come join our team @UiB to lead innovative research in molecular, cellular and organismal biology using marine/aquatic organisms! ⌛️ Application deadline Dec. 15. Share this exciting opportunity ⤵️ tinyurl.com/4bwn8u3n @embl @EMBRC_EU

Join us at the Symbiosis course! With @pcleves.bsky.social @scottnichols.bsky.social & others!
