📢 New #TwitterTakeover Series 📢 NHM_Students share a day in the life Natural History Museum First out is a familiar face: Hugh Carter studies all things #starfish (or #seastars), with a specific focus on the genetics and biogeography of #colour polymorphisms 🌊⭐️🌈

Fieldwork #starfishselfie with my very talented PhD student Hugh Carter! National Geographic #prettyinthesea (Now with photo!! 🤣) (Not Linckia - but still very nice!) #starfish #seastar

Just amazed by the distribution of starfish bipinnaria larvae and different reproductive strategies around the world, fascinating work by Hugh Carter, ⁦Jeffrey R Thompson⁩ ⁦Oliveri Lab⁩ #icim5 ⁦⁦ICIM-5-Vienna-2022⁩

Really enjoyed finally presenting some of my data on the biogeography of #starfish larval strategies ICIM-5-Vienna-2022 at my first in-person international conference!

Fabulous talk on starfish colour by Hugh_Carter_!! ⁦Science at the Natural History Museum⁩ ⁦NHM_Students⁩ #starfish #ESEB2022

Continued fun presenting at #ESEB2022 on the ubiquity and distribution of colour in starfish! (Yes, more maps...)

Lovely talk with even lovelier maps from fellow NHM_Students Hugh Carter #Challenger150 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not every evening you can do this on a hill in #London. Thanks #londonsnow.

ᴰʳ Khalil Thirlaway 🔜 🐉🥩 I think I can give you a ball-park figure, but it might take a few tweets to show you my working. TL;DR, it's an awful lot...

Excited to share my first first author paper! We used a DNA taxonomy approach to examine the biodiversity, biogeography, and genetic connectivity of over 1800 polychaete specimens from the Pacific #deepsea doi.org/10.1111/ddi.13…

After years of work we’ve just published an enormous dataset with genetic and image data for 129 #polychaete species and 339 records from the CCZ! #WormWednesday

Largest donation of #Starfish the Museum has ever received. From the Marine Biology Lab Université libre de Bruxelles. A very happy #Echinoderms curator Hugh Carter now has the job of organising all of this. How many starfish do you think was in this incredible donation? #NaturalHistoryMuseum

I’m really proud to share that our paper on the diversity of social complexity in termites has been published!!!

Finally packing up a small collection of #echinoderms from #Okinawa to ship back to Science at the Natural History Museum to cap off a successful few weeks of fieldwork in Japan!

Very happy that the second chapter of my PhD has just been published #OpenAccess : introducing two #NewSpecies of scavenging amphipod from the abyssal Pacific Ocean! shorturl.at/PPCw5

Really pleased to see our paper developing exome capture in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) published in @molecolgy resources, from our collaboration with Science at the Natural History Museum British Antarctic Survey 🐧 UEA School of Environmental Sciences and NERC Environmental Omics Facility. Here’s a thread on why we did this study
