#WormWranglers at #BlackForest. We were having a lot of fun at the DB Unit Retreat! Thanks the amazing organizing team, including Alessandra Reversi Dr Matt Benton Flora Vincent Jordi van Gestel Noa Ottilie Borst!!!

Rolling out the red carpet this #FlatwormFriday for the Diversibipalium multilineatum. Not just a globetrotter from Japan to Europe, but a real 'long-distance' runner too. Maybe their length helps with the jet lag! 🪱✈️ #AlienSpecies

Had a great time at #SMBE2023! Inspiring talks and amazing people! Lots to think about now for #planarian size evolution! Also definitely prettiest conference location I've been to, many thanks to the organisers!

Excited for tomorrow after such a great start at #EED2024! #cowsaresecondarycarnivores

Had a blast at #EED2024, met wonderful people, had memorable discussions, and learned a ton from all the fascinating talks! Thanks to the organisers for this smoothly organised conference, looking forward to the next edition!

🚨 Wereldwijd neemt het aantal insecten in hoog tempo af. 🚨 In ons onderzoek (Science Magazine) keken wij naar het effect van niet-dodelijke (subletale) hoeveelheden van >1000 verschillende #pesticiden op het gedrag en de ontwikkeling van #insecten. 🧵👇 (1/8)
