5 days left to apply for Marine Invertebrate Zoology at Friday Harbor Labs this summer. Please share widely and encourage your grad and undergrad students to apply!


Taking Marine Invertebrate Zoology at Friday Harbor Labs in 2007 was so great that my career goal became teaching the class one day. Living that dream this summer - join us!


#IVoted from an Antarctic research vessel at port call. No excuses- get yours done! And huge thank you to EscambiaVotes for working with me to make it happen- you guys rock! #IcyInverts


Winter with snow is coming! I will be giving my PhD exit seminar this next Monday morning via Zoom and you are welcome to join. DM your email to Emily Lau, PhD (thanks, Emily!) for the link and more details if you want to hear about eyes and jellyfish.



I guess I would say pterobranchs are worms, but it's not a hill I'm willing to die on. Either way, I. LOVE. THEM. SO. MUCH. This is a Cephalodiscus hodgsoni zooid collected by Michael Tassia hanging out on its coenecium and generally being adorable. #IcyInverts #WormWednesday
