It's my birthday! And this morning before I head to the lab, I've spent a lot of time working with my colleagues on our brand new MUSE Mentorship website, which we hope to publish next month! If you'd like to make a tax-deductible donation to MUSE, visit donorbox.org/donate-to-muse…!

This is unacceptable. It’s even worse that they had the same disproportionate rates 10 years ago, and exactly nothing is different. A systemic problem that needs to be changed, now.

Undergrads! No one told me so I'm telling you. Did you know you can get flown out, offered lodging & PAID to do summer research (even w/ no experience)? First, I want you to learn these two terms: REU=research experience for undergrads SURF=summer undergrad research fellowship

Berghia nudibranchs have been CHAMPs at home in the pandemic and are great preps for students in lab classes. What spiralians have you used with students? Let's introduce them to the amazing biology and vast landscape of open questions in this diverse and beautiful group!

Thank you to @deleoDM Heather Bracken-Grissom and Molecular Ecology for highlighting the work of Niko Hensley, PhD et al -- where we start to get at the molecular evolution of signal diversification in sea fireflies. Truly amazing photo by Kyle McBurnie onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

For anyone teaching Invertebrate Zoology, the papers from a special issue of Invertebrate Biology on teaching this subject came out (as early access) today! There are some excellent ideas in here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/17447410/0…

Congratulations Natasha Picciani, PhD !! In print today: A wide diversity of cnidarians use light to modulate cnidocyte firing. This function may be ancestral in cnidarians and may have facilitated their many separate eye origins onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

I can’t with this, any of this. No medical basis, just plain bigotry. Hands off my guns but I’ll decide what happens to your body (AR and AL) and who gets to vote (GA— if you’re Black or brown, it’s not you). The things we are willing to make our kids live through. I just can’t.

Thinking of Daunte Wright's family. Thinking of the greater Minneapolis community. Thinking of all the Black folks who wake up to this news again and again and again and again and again. Thinking of the toll is takes on your body, the air it pulls from your lungs. Every time.

PLEASE sign this petition, spearheaded by an undergraduate student who does more than their fair share for racial justice at UMass! Our police department budget is 6 million annually. We want to reallocate funds from UMPD - Sign the Petition! chng.it/vXqNRDck via Change.org

Support the Racial Justice Coalition's push to reallocate part of the inordinate $$$ UMPD receives to groups and services supporting the wellbeing of Black, Indigenous and other marginalized community members most at risk from police violence. chng.it/bmq4FPFB55

Out today! First in a series of papers from our lab using the the nudibranch Berghia stephanieae as a research model, postdoc Dr. Jessica Goodheart describes when nematocyst sequestration begins during development. w/Vanessa Barone frontiersinzoology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
