My team at Illumina has been hiring like crazy for the last couple months and for some reason I was stupid and didn't post about it on Twitter. We're looking for anyone in the broad field of understanding what genomes do. If you're interested in talking about it, my DMs are open!

It turns out those 'low-impact' gene expression studies are super helpful to resolve cell types in scRNAseq data. Very thankful for researchers and editors who see value in descriptive studies.

Astrangia embryos are just the best. Love this model system! Left: 4 hours old Northern star coral embryo (astrangia poculata), right: 24 hours old undergoing gastrulation.

The #BabonisLab is hiring a postdoc! We are interested in the evolution of novelty so we study the development of weird stuff in marine invertebrate embryos. Check us out: babonislab.com Review of applications starts May 1. To apply, visit: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/21484

Undergraduate Biology/Digital Arts student researcher Laura Sheppard showing off her awesome 3D printed sea urchin embryo models! She modeled those by hand!!

Should be a great session : Blanche Capel, Jacob Warner Jake Warner, and Cristian Canestro CañestroLab EvoDevoGenomeUB GeneLoss🫀Heart🌊Ocean are all speaking #EvoDevo2022 #2022SDB

What a a pleasure to have participated in the symposium on developmental biology, evolution and climate change sharing a final great discussion with #BlancheCapel and Jacob Warner Jake Warner. Thanks Phil Abitua 🧬, Nicole Theodosiou and #Graciela for organizing it #EvoDev2022 #2022SDB

Keeping an eye on cell cleavage in #Astrangia embryos rwusciences Love working with these developmental biologists! Leslie S. Babonis Jake Warner and Ryan Besemer!

Here's a month old settled coral polyp to start your week. Look at those cute little tentacles!

Please RT! My lab is recruiting a PhD student for an NSF funded project to examine the gene network wiring of Antarctic sea urchins. We hope to hear from you by Dec 1st. For more information please reach out via email

The #BabonisLab is hiring a postdoc to study the evolution of novelty. Come work with us on cool questions in cool critters (like this octocoral!) For more info: babonislab.com To apply: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/24483

It's that time of year again! Waiting for corals to spawn. These colonies are going on their 4th season of captive reproduction.

Successful 2023 coral spawning season in the books!

Next generation coral growout!

Astrangia spawning season is in full swing!

Short video of a very gravid Northern Star coral (Astrangia poculata) colony spawning in the lab. Look at that thing go!

It's that time again! #coralspawn

Our first paper on the temperate coral Astrangia poculata is out! Read more about this most excellent model system below. Exciting collaboration with Leslie S. Babonis, Dr. Koty Sharp ! evodevojournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
