Excited to be at SEB @sebiology.bsky.social #SEBConference #SEB2024 for my first international conference since the pandemic. I can’t wait to hear and see all the amazing presentations! #molstressh2o European Research Council (ERC)


Dr. Kaylee Beine’s talk at @SEBconference #SEB24 on network properties of the heat and UVR stress response in #zebrafish now available as a preprint, check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #MolStressH2O European Research Council (ERC)


The amazing research done by Odysys lab under PI Dr. Kat Wollenberg Valero during the #SEBconference #SEB24. Our postdoc Megan Power, PhD at station A18.28, and two PhD students Sofia Vámos at A8.5 and Jiao Li at A12.8.


Liam Connell talking about his research on transgenerational plasticity in the marine ragworm to current and future experimental ocean conditions in the A17 session at #sebconference SEB @sebiology.bsky.social


Diana Madeira kicking off the second morning slot of our A17 session at #sebconference with a talk on the extensive remodeling of the proteome across generations in a marine annelid 🪱 SEB @sebiology.bsky.social


So happy and proud of this illustration made for Katharina Ruthsatz amazing presentation in SEB @sebiology.bsky.social !! She talked about environmental stressors in amphibians and their developmental plasticity in a changing world🐸 #amphibia #herpetology #sciart #digitalillustration


Look at this guy!! Repping the only Irish project and on the population genomics of the shamrock no less! ☘️ can’t wait to see how this turns out and super proud as always ☺️ @ucdsbes UCD Research UCD Earth Institute

Congratulations GMHughes, @Kherronism and Ann Mc Cartney! ☘️☘️☘️ Read about their fascinating study exploring the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of the Trifolium dubium - known to many as the shamrock - here: tridubire.github.io University College Dublin Sch.

Are we underestimating the effects of climate change on animal reproduction? Excited to share our new Royal Society Publishing paper showing that the effects of higher mean temperatures and heatwave events on fertility are amplified when they act in combination 🌡️ royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Upgrade from preprint to published in Molecular Ecology Resources!🐸Happy to have played a role in exploring the uniqueness of #amphibian #genomes & preliminary insights into #climate & transposable elements! Dr. Kat Wollenberg Valero Odysys lab Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc UCD Research onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…

Great that this is published, one of hopefully many ways the #amphibiangenomics consortium #ACG will help us understand and improve the valuable resources hidden in the genomes of the most threatened vertebrate group Dr Tiffany Kosch 👩🔬 🤿🐸🧬 Megan Power, PhD Odysys lab UCD Research Sch.

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨 from Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc UCD Earth Institute UCD Research & GMHughes Dr. Lauren Eve Simonitis 🇨🇺🇺🇸 My research reveals how cuttlefish ink can hijack a shark's sense of smell! 🦈🦑 This incredible defense mechanism acts as a "chemical smokescreen" academic.oup.com/g3journal/arti… [1/5]

Excited to share the Hughes Lab’s 1st 2025 paper, and Colleen Lawless’s first as first-author, exploreing cuttlefish ink as a chemical defence targeting shark olfactory systems. Great collab with John Finarelli and Dr. Lauren Eve Simonitis 🇨🇺🇺🇸! Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc UCD Research bit.ly/40z7Ype

These two are just showing off now 😂 congrats to my brilliant friends GMHughes & Zixia Huang for their involvement in the latest @nature paper exploring the #genomic basis for #viral tolerance in #bats 🦇 proud as always ☺️ nature.com/articles/s4158… Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc UCD Research

Excited to share our new paper out in @nature, looking at the genomics of viral tolerance and immunity in #bats 🦇🧬with Zixia Huang, Emma Teeling and some incredible scientists as part of Bat1k Genome Project. Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc UCD Research. Check it out: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Very proud of UCD BatLab Bat1k Genome Project Emma Teeling GMHughes and Zixia Huang for the publication of their paper on nature #bats

Excited to see our research GMHughes, John Finarelli and Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc featured in Science News 🦈🦑 did you know cuttlefish ink is a chemical deterrent to sharks sense of smell? Check it out: sciencenews.org/article/cuttle… #Marinebiology #SharkScience
