Happy #WormWednesday ! Our lab works on Capitella teleta, an adorable polychaete that lives in the mud! This morning was mud collecting day for our colony (and the best weather I’ve experienced so far in Florida). Alicia Boyd Elaine Seaver


Yes, that’s a real paper clip, and yes that’s a real Euprymna berryi 😍 When the Hummingbird bobtail squid hatches, it’s smaller than a grain of rice 🍚 📸 Tim Briggs






What do you do when a neighboring lab has mannequins for no apparent reason? You set them up around the building after work with your advisor and lab mate to surprise unsuspecting coworkers. Obviously. Whitney Laboratory Katie Feerst 🪱 (they/them) Elaine Seaver #gradlife #WomenInSTEM



We’re celebrating the Global Women’s Breakfast this morning! Thanks to Elizabeth Kaweesa and Sandra Loesgen (loesgenlab.bsky.social) for organizing! #GWB2020


The Seaver lab just updated Capitella teleta’s wiki page! We added some info about its morphology, ecology and some of the awesome research our lab and others have done over the years! Check it out: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitella… Alicia Boyd Alexis Lanza Elaine Seaver Lauren Kunselman

#SeaverLab and #MartindaleLab contribute to study: "Genes with spiralian-specific protein motifs are expressed in spiralian ciliary bands" published in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146… #wlpubs Elaine Seaver Longjun Wu


Super excited to share a fixation technique that I serendipitously discovered and developed with Allison Edgar. We hope that others will give it a try frontiersinzoology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…


That feeling when you're worried your experiment failed because you don't see a positive result, but then you realize you're scoring your controls and they SHOULD look that way Alicia Boyd #gradschool #gradlife #WhitneyLab

Check out this great article about the cool regeneration research me and Alicia Boyd are doing Whitney Laboratory! Written by the talented Brent Foster! One segment at a time: Scientists at Whitney Laboratory study regeneration in marine worms palmcoastobserver.com/article/one-se…

Capitella eat marine mud. They like their mud strained. Here is the #SeaverLab getting muddy for their annelids! #WormWednesday Elaine Seaver Lauren Kunselman Katie Feerst 🪱 (they/them) Alicia Boyd





3 years ago, my PhD applications were rejected. I couldn’t find the words to express my loss until I attended #SciWri22 as a Carol Watene Fellow and heard St. Jude Research social worker Erica Sirrine speak of disenfranchised grief. Her words gave me space to heal. This is my story.👇
