We had an amazing time at our team outing this year, stepping out of the lab for a 'kitchen duel' guided by a professional chef (... still following protocols though)! The result? Both menus looked and tasted absolutely delicious! 🍽️👩‍🍳

This dataset is bananas. High quality, calibrated UV + visible-spectrum images of >100 species of snakes let us compare across six different visual systems with micaToolbox. Working on it with Hayley, John David, and Alison was a genuine privilege, and I am SO GLAD IT'S OUT 🌈🐍

Everything is set up for #EED2024! We are excited to welcome 650 people in Helsinki! 🤩🇫🇮 Satellite meetings are starting on Monday!

No big deal, just the view of Helsinki's senate square from #EED2024 as the organizers did our final walk-through today 😎 We are ready for the satellite meetings on Monday!

Nothing says #EED2024 quite like a conference booklet on top of a box of skulls (?)

We started off #EED2024 with welcoming words by Jukka Jernvall, chair of the executive committee followed by Marja Mikkola, university representative, and Claudius Kratochwil, chair of the local organizing committee.

Check out some of the wonderful impressions that our photographer Camilla Bloom took last night! 🤩♥️ Link to all the photos can be found in the slack channel and on the message board next to the registration!

We've received comments about the lack of non-vegetarian options during #EED2024 lunches and coffee breaks 🥩🥓🍖. In line with our and the University’s commitment to sustainability, all lunches and coffee breaks will be indeed vegetarian or vegan 🍓🌱.

No poster is left behind. City bike taxi transfer for two posters that were missing. #EED2024 Hope to see you all at today’s poster session starting at 6PM!

Come see some skulls and cool embryos at our outreach event #EED2024 :)

#WearYourModelOrganism #EED2024 😎😍🤩

#TeamOutreach is still going strong! #EED2024

After two packed days and vibrant poster sessions, it's already the last day! Get ready for three more parallel sessions, the business meeting, prizes, and a plenary session. And don't miss Gala Dinner & free conference party at Pikku Finlandia tonight! #ConferenceFinale #EED2024

And now it’s time for our last keynote lecture of #EED2024 . Paula Elomaa from our very own University of Helsinki is telling us about inflorescence evo-devo in sunflower family! 🌻

On Friday we had the #EED2024 finale in #PikkuFinlandia! What an evening 🤩! We wish you all a safe trip home and see you all in 2 years!!!

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated to @Luonnonperinto to receive a conference T-shirt! 🌲By June 30th, we raised an impressive €4,330. The local organizers contributed a bit more to round it up to a perfect €5,000!

But you can still donate if you wish ... it will still be perfect! 😉 luonnonperintosaatio.fi/kerays/euro-ev…

Many moons ago I asked M. Emília Santos if she could help me study evo-devo of neural crest using African cichlids for my PhD… and the main results are now published in Molecular Biology and Evolution 🎉 doi.org/10.1093/molbev… Thank you @gregverne for joining this chapter of my fishy adventure 🐠
