Reminder for #WorldJellyfishDay

Here’s an hour of wild Pacific Coast jellyfishes swimming to help alleviate the existential dread: youtu.be/WF53zFt_YMU?si…

Our work on reverse development in Mnemiopsis made the cover for the latest issue of PNASNews! Check it out ➡️ doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…. Massive thanks Alexandre Jan for your fantastic photo. So proud 🤩. Pawel Burkhardt Michael Sars Centre Universitetsmuseet Universitetet i Bergen

#Hype4Hydrozoa

Honoured to be awarded the #engagementaustralia #excellenceawards for the wonderful partnership between Griffith University and Sea World, Gold Coast, Australia experiences. Fabulous recognition for the teams of Griffith researchers and Sea World staff who work together to find solutions and promote marine science.

I'm looking for a POSTDOC position for Fall 2025! If you are looking for someone in host-parasite interactions (specifically with host sex!), sexual selection, mate choice, or animal behavior, please reach out! I am also a photographer and illustrator which could come in handy.

#Hype4Hydrozoa!

Beautiful Cotylorhiza tuberculata jellyfish 🤩

Happy to announce that our exhibition #JellyfishUnveiled🪼 has been extended until January 26th. The exhibit is a joint effort between the Manet Team at Universitetet i Bergen & Michael Sars Centre. Come and join us at the beautiful Universitetsmuseet. Funded by @Artsdatabanken, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions & Michael Sars Centre.

🌊🪸 A mesmerizing moment in marine #science! Institute researchers, led by Investigator Gibson Lab & Postdoc Emms, recently captured the stunning moment of successful #coral spawning— follow along as they share insights into this event & their coral #research. 🧵 (1/3)

We found the box jelly can form a large aggregation in certain parts of the Philippines (e.g. here in Quezon province). This observation is crucial for ecology and mitigating dangers n our interaction with the species. tinyurl.com/mrx9v9rw

Our ethnozoological records show many locals capture Chironex yamaguchii for food. Jellys are collected using a scoop net or by holding the top of the bell, ensuring the tentacles do not come into contact with the harvester. tinyurl.com/bdsfyxds /video: M. Piodo

Let's take a look #UnderTheScope! 👀 🔬 This is an adult Nematostella where stinging cells are labeled with eGFP (green). The Gibson Lab studies these to understand #evolution. (Anna Klompen, PhD) #EvoDevo #CellBiology

This week's #MicroscopyMonday shows the expression pattern of 6 members of an important family of structural genes in stinging cells. These are shown in different colors across the larvae from the sea anemone Nematostella. Jenny Duong (Gibson Lab)

The Institute mourns the loss of R. Scott Hawley, PhD. A brilliant scientist, cherished colleague, & true mentor. Scott's contributions to our understanding of genetics & passion for training the next generation of scientists will forever be remembered. bit.ly/3WPqqYG

Meet Helen Horkan, a postdoctoral researcher in the Gibson Lab ! She aims to establish the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, as a better #research organism for studying stem cell #biology. Read more: bit.ly/3FvtweC

🎆🧬 Fireworks in the making! At 3 days, Nematostella vectensis is already producing stinging cells across its body. These genes (🩷💛💙) cluster in the tentacle tips and across the sea anemone juvenile body 🪼✨ image provided by Anna Klompen, PhD #FluorescenceFriday #DevBio
