Glad to have been involved in this new paper with a bunch of great scientists from QUT CTCB, Lincoln University and Virginia Tech. Great job Taek on leading this manuscript. We also use similar methods for cnidarian genome assemblies. @QUTSciEng sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations also to GSA's 2019 Image Competition runner up! Lauren Ashwood contributed this beautiful image of Telmatactis autraliensis under blue light, showing expression of GFP-like fluorescent chromoprotein in tentacles. See all entries here: genetics.org.au/gsa-image-comp…

Congrats Joachim Surm for receiving best post-doc poster award at #SMBE2019! Shout out to our PI Peter Prentis

Had a great time visiting Jerusalem and finally seeing #nematostella irl for the first time! Thanks so much to Yehu Moran and Joachim Surm and all their lab group for hosting me at their uni

I find it oddly satisfying that the reference for the Aurelia genome is "Gold et al." nature.com/articles/s4155…

First paper out, huge thanks to my co-authors Peter Prentis Eivind Undheim, Ray Norton and David Hurwood!

I am a doctor!! The biggest thank you to my supervisors, especially Pete Peter Prentis and to QUT for making it happen 🎓🧬

Our review on sea anemone molecular regeneration is out now in a special issue of Genes! Peter Prentis For anyone interested in #invertebrate #regeneration mechanisms, check out the other great papers in this SI organised by Uri Gat (HUJI) mdpi.com/2073-4425/12/7…

Great couple of weeks doing fieldwork in Tauranga with the #sexyfish team Haylee Quertermous Chloe van der Burg Neil Gemmell - Outdoors neuroscience, how good!

Less than a week of being in Aotearoa and straight into field work I went! It was great to finally meet and work with the #sexyfish team in person, as well as my study species, the New Zealand spotty wrasse (Notolabrus celidotus)! Kaj Kamstra Chloe van der Burg Neil Gemmell

Fish are friends! theguardian.com/environment/20…

Having camera curious fish when trying to take behavior videos is not ideal, but I can’t even be mad when they do this.

Had a great time up in Tauranga these past few weeks working on getting some spotty behavioural experiments up and running. Thanks Toi Ohomai and The University of Waikato 🎓 for hosting us! #sexyfishteam

Nice. Ping Chloe van der Burg Kaj Kamstra Haylee Quertermous #sexyfishteam
