Working with non model animals? Feeling depressed every time the genes from your favourite tardigrade/velvet worm/Gordian worm/whatever worm/sponge/jellyfish/[insert your fav invertebrate here] do not have any functional annotations? Keep calm and continue reading! 🧬🪱🪲1/10

A few months ago, Alexander Semenov photographed a Beroe showing a very unusual trait: two mouths. Nicholas Bezio (Bezio Studios), Alex and I joined forces and published a short note about it. Weird regeneration or developmental issue? Check it out! doi.org/10.1007/s12526… #Ctenophores

Blown away by the depth of scientific investigation, creativity and empathy in the Art Installations from our MSc Science Communication for a Better Planet students. Four amazing works, exploring the journey from Ecoanxiety to EcoHOPE.

We have a 2y postdoc position open in my group. The profile is quite broad, from bioinformatics to molecular biology. If you are interested in giant virus endogenization, EvoDevo, epigenetics and evolution, do apply and gent in touch. Please RT. Details: qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies…

Job alert! We offer two positions (Team leader & Bioinformatics developer) to work on the Biodiversity Cell Atlas database: unified pipelines, data curation, and cross-species integration.

If you are thinking of a high-risk, potentially interdisciplinary project on Ctenophore neurons for your postdoc, please consider applying for HFSP fellowship with me 🙂 the deadline is May 14. hfsp.org/funding/hfsp-f…

Is anyone interested in a nervous system 🧠 origin postdoc?? With a Ctenophore as a model?? Please contact me if you would like to apply for a fellowship 🙂 University of Bristol Biological Sciences

If you would like to study the role of venom in surviving bleaching in corals 🪸 and would like to apply for a postdoc fellowship please drop me a line 😉

I would really appreciate retweets of this amazing PhD opportunity in a fabulous training network of European labs. Lots of opportunities for learning and travelling and networking. Deadline is end of June.

Our latest: "Reverse development in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi" out in bioRxiv, Pawel Burkhardt Michael Sars Centre Universitetet i Bergen. Check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Illustrations by talented Nicholas Bezio (Bezio Studios) . [🧵1/6]

Ctenophores keep being crazy!

Hey scientific tweeter, check out our new preprint on the secretoryy cells in #Trichoplax. We matched single cell RNAseq data with the real cells in Trichoplax body. Now we know that there are more than one mucocyte type in Trichoplax! Here is the link biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Don't miss a chance to dive into the early evolution of animals!

Crazy ctenophore stuff 😲

It's out🎉! Ecstatic to share that our paper on reverse development⌛⏳ in Mnemiopsis is now published in PNASNews. Take a look: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… Pawel Burkhardt Michael Sars Centre Universitetsmuseet Universitetet i Bergen

Ctenophores will keep you surprised 😉

Happy to have contributed to this article led by Dmitrii from Havermans Charlotte team's at AWI Media, now out in Springer Nature's Polar Biology. Link: doi.org/10.1007/s00300…. We reported unprecedented dense aggregations of Beroe and Bolinopsis in Norwegian Arctic waters.

Congratulations to Eleanor Gilbert on becoming a Dr, and to Vengamanaidu M on his first PhD student!! 🎉🎉🎉

Snakelocks sea anemones point their tentacles, packed with symbiotic algae, toward the sun so their lodgers can photosynthesize and now Vengamanaidu M & co have discovered that photosynthesis by the algae guides their host's tentacles towards the sun journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…
