Come join us! The Bio Dept College of the Holy Cross is hiring a Full Time Visiting Faculty in Organismal Biology, to teach Animal Physiology and more! Please reach out with any questions. Application information can be found here: apply.interfolio.com/102454 We start reviewing apps 3/18

This video deserves to be shared widely! The science is lovely and Patrick Phan did an amazing job bringing it to life with his drawings, lyrics and vocals. If you're a fan of #scicomm this is amazing. If only all science could be set to music so nicely! @wm_biology STEM @ William & Mary

At Holy Cross, the possibilities are endless, with 40 majors and 30 minors as well as the ability to design your own major. What will you learn? bit.ly/3JFwKsS

This can’t be good.

We're going to the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Congratulations to graduating McAlister Lab seniors Izzy Uong, Kerry Bresnahan, and Ally McGrath! Best of luck and keep in touch! College of the Holy Cross

The Integrated Science Complex now bears the name of national health leader Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, ’62, Hon. ’87 for a lifetime dedicated to public service. A moment forever ingrained in Holy Cross' history. bit.ly/39hONIO

We're proud to officially present the Anthony S. Fauci Integrated Science Complex. This building will forever bear the name of an inspirational, brilliant and intellectual leader. As an alumnus, his contributions to society and the nation will always be remembered at Holy Cross.

We're very proud of McAlister Lab alum @AnaDulskiy who has been selected as a Knauss Marine Policy Fellow for 2023! Congrats, Ana!

Meet NC #STEM Policy Fellow @AnaDulskiy, an MS student in ecology at the UNC-Chapel Hill where she studies the microbial ecology of temperate corals in the state 🪸. She will be working with the NC Office of Recovery and Resiliency for her fellowship. Learn more: ow.ly/bT0R50KrxSU

The N. Atlantic's marine heatwave is remarkable. Up to 14 degrees above normal!! Besides global warming, the weather pattern helping to produce this anomaly has had a part in disrupting the Atlantic hurricane season. Marine heat wave days have more than doubled since 1900 and 1/2

Developmental regulatory elements evolve, and they (can) evolve FAST! In this work, we examine the impact of life history evolution on regulatory element evolution in Heliocidaris sea urchins. Now out in Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution Molecular Biology and Evolution (1/n): academic.oup.com/mbe/article/39…

Our first lab preprint is up. We compare maternal allocation (rna expression) in eggs of different development modes. Then we do genetic crosses to find patterns of inheritance that could lead to #EvoDevo biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New chromosome-level sea urchin genome assembly out of Echinometra sp. EZ alongside an analysis of stress-responsive genes -- led by Remi Ketchum ! Echinoid genomics going strong! 💪 Echinobase academic.oup.com/gbe/article/14…

📢Larval Ecology in Friday Habor Labs Summer 2023 Come join us to learn about these wondering organisms. Course description: tinyurl.com/2hxe5c7y Friday Harbor Labs . Please RT!!!!

Larval stickers!

Incredibly excited to see this work published! Diadema antillarum is a very important benthic taxon in Caribbean coral reefs. In this paper, we report on the cause of its mass mortality last year. (1/7)science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Yet more evidence of how important mothers are for their offspring!

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. In our new nature paper, Darrin Schultz Darrin Schultz used the position of genes on chromosomes to show that ctenophores (comb jellies) not sponges are the sister-group to all other animals. nature.com/articles/s4158…
