Why should we care about mussels? Though they might not seem that interesting on the surface, Tim Regan Lab shows us at the Blue Health symposium The University of Edinburgh why it's worth cracking open their shells, revealing some really cool mussel immunology and phylogenetics! 🦪😎🧬

Exciting (and worrying) experimental evidence for the impact deep sea mining and warming can have on midwater species such as the beautiful helmet jellyfish! Lead by Vanessa Stenvers and @lenihauss.bsky.social #teamperiphylla

1/3 We are happy to announce an exciting open PhD studentship position in Aquaculture functional genomics at the RosIin Institute The Roslin Institute , “A genotype-tissue expression atlas of Atlantic salmon” This is a pioneer in Aqua-GTEx.Diego Robledo Albert Tenesa Meenu Bhati

Cold morning sampling some pretty mussels with @Frank_Melzner 🦪🌊 Always nice to have a break from computer work (and not feel my hands for the next half hour!) Now genotyping! 🧬 I’m really excited to get these final results and wrap up the work with Robert Ellis Jahangir Vajedsamiei

PhD project available on the implementation of admixture-based approaches to detect selection signals in different species 🐂🐏🐕 Come and join us at The Roslin Institute findaphd.com/phds/project/r…

Such a great week! Managed to escape to the lab and saw some pretty copepods with Alex Hahn and Reid Brennan GEOMAR_en ! Successful day 🥳 Also, check out Alex’s cool drawings: instagram.com/ale.x.hahn?igs…

Increase from £18,600 to £38,700 as minimum income requirement for a spouse or family visa. This is seriously disturbing and disgusting. Left UK three years ago, married to a Catalan. Makes the Q of returning to UK seriously difficult. This will affect so many people’s lives

Just 2 weeks left to apply for our @CDT_SuMMer PhD looking at mussel valorisation and restoration. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity with Plymouth University Bangor University Devon & Severn IFCA Natural England- Devon, Cornwall & Isles of Scilly @SeaweedGen

Great start into the new year !! 🥳 Paper lead by Dr. Robert Mukiibi on Ugandan Tipalia genetics is out ➡️sciencedirect.com/science/articl…🐟🧬

'Tax the rich!' That's what some of the world's mega-rich are demanding from politicians at the World Economic Forum.

Today is International Women's Day and the UN's theme for the day is "Invest in women: accelerate progress", an empowering theme for us. And so I'm very happy (and deeply touched) to have been awarded "Academic Champion of the year" from #WiSA 👩‍🔬💜

We're thrilled to welcome Christina Kriaridou to the team as our new Quantitative Geneticist/Data Analyst. Her addition reflects the ongoing expansion of our global breeding client portfolio and our commitment to providing genetics service excellence in the aquaculture sector.

Why are lobsters in The Netherlands (Oosterschelde) genetically differentiated? Paper in ICES Journal of Marine Science: tinyurl.com/p4cwr7st led by lobster enthusiast Charlie Ellis! Charlie Ellis ExeterEvo 🧬🦞

Nice presentation by Nicolas Beirne at Sea-Unicorn #iMarCo2024 meeting in Montpellier, showing exciting results of blue mussel hybridisation and human-mediated interspecific introgression, vital work that @ExeterMarine’s Robert Ellis and Jennifer N. Schulze contributed to. 🦪🐚🌊🇫🇷🇬🇧🧑🏻‍🔬

Had a brilliant time at The Roslin Institute's shellfish biotechnology workshop. It was great to see everyone, to meet some fantastic people and to get a huge inspirational boost! Thanks a million Tim Bean Tim Regan Lab and Nick Wade for another great event :)
