📢 I’m hiring a 3yr postdoc Interested in evolutionary origins of miRNA/RNAi in animals? Keen on working with early branching metazoans and unicellular relatives? Please join my lab 🧬 MBA - Marine Biological Association ⏳Deadline 25th October 2024 ℹ️ Details: jobs.ac.uk/job/DJW823/pos… Please RT!

1/9 Insanely PROUD to share our new collaborative project with Gautam Dey & @CentrioleLab. #PlanExM We think (almost certain) #Expansion #Microscopy (#UExM) is a turning point for #Protistology and #Cell Biology. 🔗 [tinyurl.com/PlanExM1]

Thrilled to share our latest work from my postdoc with Adam Martin in Developmental Cell ! We uncovered a mechanism linking DV axial patterning with AP axis extension through patterned cell-cell adhesion. Intrigued? Dive into the details here!

Cnidarians are supposed to be diploblastic. In this new ms we show that in the sea anemone Nematostella the interplay of Wnt, MAPK and Notch signaling controls the segregation of endodermal, mesodermal and ectodermal identities. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm so excited to announce that my department is now hiring TWO ECOLOGISTS at the Assistant Professor Level. We will be really excited to substantially expand research in ecology in our EEOB Department at UCR. Please RT aprecruit.ucr.edu/JPF01983

The evolution of Wnt-betacatenin signaling molecules from non-bilaterians to bilaterians! From Wikramanayake lab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Since we're talking about funding of absurd research by NIH and other federal agencies, the funded scientists: - watching flies fuck - giving rats massages - spending years digging into why jellyfish glow - tracking penguin poop from space - using horseshoe crab blood

2 PhD studentships are available in my group to work on early animal immune system evolution. Application deadline Nov 30th, to start early 2025 (flexible). Details here: tinyurl.com/762xajru
