In BC, two First Nations implemented a caribou conservation program unlike anything else on the planet. The result: They ended up tripling the size of their local caribou population - a rare good news story for these iconic animals. cbc.ca/1.6413550

Hello #SciTwitter! I’m a PhD Candidate at Cell and Systems Biology studying eye evolution in snakes and lizards. Hoping to connect with more folks exploring the world of #developmentalbiology and #evolution in #reptiles!

Why lay in the leaves when there’s a perfectly awkward crevice available🦎🥚 #Geckos #Herpetology

Interested in oddball photoreceptors in snakes and lizards? Come check out my poster (B73) this afternoon! #RetinalBiology #Squamate #2022SDB #EvoDevo2022

Science grad students speaking on the Hill about how current funding levels are insufficient. Many have thought about dropping out because they just couldn’t afford to live on what they were making. #SupportOurScience

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… My PRER review on zebrafish inherited photoreceptor disease models. Very proud of this work!

My lab is looking for a postdoc to apply microscopy for whole-brain neural recordings jobrxiv.org/job/university…

Excellent work from Centre for Microbiome Research PhD student Thien-Kim Nguyen-Phuoc, who completed an internship with the communications team at the Office of the Queensland Chief Scientist. Hear about her internship experience here: lnkd.in/gBjMasuM

Many congratulations to our poster and short talk prize winners at #DevMeeting23 - Angelly Vasquez Correa, Johannes Girstmair and Emily Dong. And their model organisms, the ant, flatworm and gecko!

Hmm, looks like some of these postcards for #DevMeeting23 got lost in the mail. Better late than never, right? Thanks Máté Varga for introducing me to paradise fish and Emily Dong for sharing her stories about mourning gecko retinal development! thenode.biologists.com/unconventional…
