I have GREAT news! Got the official word from @NIGMS NIH that my MIRA proposal is being funded. We are going to explore how annelid worms regenerate their germline using live imaging, transgenics, and single cell sequencing. #Platynereis #Germline

We are hiring a lab tech/research assistant to work on establishing transgenic #Platynereis lines for our NIH-funded project to study germline regeneration. Please spread the word. #academicjobs Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) recruiting.ultipro.com/MAR1033MBL/Job…

Join us for another virtual lab meeting! This time we are discussing in situ hybridization and HCR (hybridization chain reaction), which allows you to do multiplexed, fluorescent visualization of gene expression. Register here: spiraliabase.org/virtual-lab-me…

"How a brilliant biologist was failed by science" bbc.com/future/article… via BBC Future  #BlackInSTEM #WomenInSTEM

Don't forget to sign up for the VLM next week. We will have video tutorials, and walk you through how to design your own Hybridization Chain Reaction probes, and more. For more about HCR: dev.biologists.org/content/145/12…

Our 1st Platynereis meeting was a great success! It was so inspiring to see generations of scientists working on Platynereis, and all the amazing research areas and questions we are focusing on. This was the first of many meetings to come. #Platynereis

Seriously, I LOVE WORMS! This is an interview with me about worms, regeneration, science art and Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)! Thank you, ArtLab for hosting me, it was a great conversation and I had lots of fun chatting with Andy and Howie! @ShowMustGoShow

We are hiring a postdoc at my lab Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL). Please spread the word. Feel free to get in touch with me for informal inquiries. #Platynereis #WormWednesday #AcademicJobs Apply here: recruiting.ultipro.com/MAR1033MBL/Job…

Grad students! I want to give you a couple words of advice about finding postdoc positions. (Having just advertised a postdoc position, I am noticing some patterns, and perhaps not everybody is getting the mentoring they need when it comes to finding a postdoc position). Thread..

Great new informal talks for people working on non-traditional research organisms. Spiraliaphiles

Now for something new. Do you use Spiralians/Lophotrochozoans in your lab classes? In outreach activities in schools or museums? Have you done at home experiments with them during the pandemic? Share it at our Virtual Lab Mtg! DM us by 3/1 for info on presenting. Please RT!

We are excited to announce that we are looking for a new research assistant to join our group. Please help us spread the word. The ad just went live: sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search….

New preprint from us! We are very excited about this work, which is setting the foundation of our germline development and regeneration adventures in Platynereis dumerilii. #Platynereis #WormWednesday Here is one of our favorite images from this manuscript biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Register for our next VLM on Transposon-mediated Transgenesis! Dian-Han Kuo and Tassos Pavlopoulos Anastasios Pavlopoulos will be our speakers. We will be taking a break in June. spiraliabase.org/virtual-lab-me…

Our new publication is out in @JEZ-B! Segment number threshold determines juvenile onset of germline cluster expansion in Platynereis dumerilii. #Platynereis #WormWednesday with Emily Kuehn, David Clausen, bria @RyannosaurusTex and Amy Willis 😻 amydwillis.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/je…

How cool is this - marine bristleworms on display in an art gallery! I love the concept of blurring the lines between art and nature. So many things in the natural world are beautiful and deserving of a place on the wall. Well done Iziko_Museums 👏🏻 #WormWednesday #Annelida

This is my absolute favorite thing to do at the Embryology Course #Embryo23 Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Not just because animals are so fun, but also because this connects us to Lillie, Wilson, Just, Morgan et al, who did exactly the same possibly at the same spot, more than a century ago.

Hi SDB attendees. We are hiring! #SDB2023

You don't have to live in SE region to go to Society for Developmental Biology SE regional meeting. All welcome to share your #devbio. sdbonline.org/sesdb2023
