Excited to have finally graduated from Dalhousie University with a celebration from the other side of the country! Looking forward to moving South to San Diego in the fall to start my masters degree with @lab_lyons Scripps Institution of Oceanography 🧬🔬

My honours research on nutritional stress in north Pacific seabird species during a marine heatwave was published in ConservationPhysiology a few weeks ago! Very grateful for this opportunity, especially with the online challenges of last year. academic.oup.com/conphys/articl…

Thank you EvoDevo PanAm, such an honor! Congrats to all the winners and their lab members. See you all at #EvoDevo2022 #2022SDB w/ Lyons Lab at Scripps Maryna Lesoway Vanessa Barone Dr. Jessica Goodheart Hereroa Yiqun Wang @grant_batzel Heidi Tate Antonia Bock Rebecca Lopez-Anido

#TeamCrepidula had a few big wins this week, including this lovely movie of equal spiral cleavage in Crepidula atrasolea captured by postdoc Vanessa Barone. Can you spot which quadrant becomes dorsal by the end? Lets make more snail embryo movies Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) for #embryo22! 🔬🐚🐌

It's finally out! Please check out our paper Development on the generation of homozygous mutant Lytechinus pictus lines. A step towards better sea urchin resources. bit.ly/3mjCP4h 1/4

And another story out for Lyons Lab at Scripps and in collaboration with Byrne lab: we are on 🔥! This time the stars of the lab are on stage (pun intended 😆) doi.org/10.1186/s12915…

Always fun to see Lytechinus pictus thriving at La Jolla Canyon! ⭐️

Good news, urchin tweeps- the first lytechinus pictus genome is now online Echinobase !! Let us know if you need help working with pictus! More resources are coming fast. Time to consider getting set up.

We are on the cover of Developmental Biology this month! So honored that my image was chosen for this 🥰
