Went to MBL to teach about tunicates and CRISPR, left with a new found love of butterfly wings. Thanks for having me @christinadcota.bsky.social !!

What to do when @mblscience.bsky.social doesn’t have anyone working on your favorite system? (Hard to imagine, but it is January!) Invite a friend! @edgigante.bsky.social teaching students about neural development in tunicates and showing the how to do CRISPR. #ColbyMBL

Nearing the end of our time @mblscience.bsky.social! Trying to squeeze in as much as we can: axolotls, microscopes, qRT-PCR…#ColbyMBL

Another busy day @mblscience.bsky.social with #ColbMBL: confocal imaging, rna extractions and wonderful talks on butterfly wing patterning and structural coloration from Dr. Nipam Patel. We ended our day by looking at some of the amazing butterflies in Dr. Patel’s collection.

@colbycollege.bsky.social students are mounting their butterfly imaginal wing disc/HCR insitus for imaging @mblscience.bsky.social #ColbyMBL

Day 5 @mblscience.bsky.social Dr. Jessica Stock (Albertin Lab) talked to us about her work examing brain development in cephalopods #ColbyMBL

ALWAYS worth taking a break from the lab for the rare books tour @mblscience.bsky.social! #ColbyMBL

Day 3 @mblscience.bsky.social started with a microscopy lecture from @carsten_wolff then off to the MRC for a tour and HCR in situs in the afternoon. We are off and running! @colbycollege.bsky.social #ColbyMBL

@colbycollege.bsky.social Biology Honors student Chloe Hample-Forcier teach #ColbyMBL students how to collect butterfly wing imaginable discs @mblscience.bsky.social

Day1 HCR #ColbyMBL #ColbyBiology #ColbyJanPlan

Back @mblscience.bsky.social with #ColbyMBL.
