Check out Science Friday TODAY for some GARish living fossil conversation with Chase Brownstein, Ira Flatow, and me! sciencefriday.com/segments/gar-l…

What does the nervous system of a sea urchin look like? Can we study intact organ systems in calcified animals? I’m excited to share this preprint (with @FormeryLaurent and @lab_lowe) on whole-body tissue clearing in fragile invertebrates, where we tackle those questions.

@FormeryLaurent @lab_lowe With this method, we are now able to look inside these animals in a way that was previously impossible and ask questions about how their bodies are organized, how their nervous system is wired, and more.

We are so excited to have Dr. Simonitis joining our team! 🦈🐙👃🔬🥼👩‍🔬

Being a postdoc is working pretty much non-stop on both actual science, and suppressing the feeling that it will be all for naught if you never make it into a permanent job.

#TeamBonnethead we were soooooooo close 😭😭😭😭😭. We fumbled the bag in the 11th hour.

DEVASTATED. When I see the thresher, it’s on sight

So you’re telling me that being underpaid with no job security and often no benefits is not appealing to people who just spent the last 5++ years living paycheck to paycheck as a graduate student? Shocked!

Congratulations to the 2024 GRFP winners, but I’m out here to celebrate the much larger number of students who got bad news today (💙) 🧵

Update, we did it! We raised $5,000 in 24 hours. Special shout out to our Program Coordinator Norah Mendoza who truly went hard in the paint and camped out in a park for a full 24 hours to make this happen. #CarryingTheTeam

"Sharks are especially interested in fish blood, squid blood, shrimp blood. But on that note, I will say that sharks are smart. They are like us. They can modulate their behavior," says @oceanexplauren sciencefriday.com/segments/shark…

With my new position, @tricialmeredith let me brainstorm a title. I enlisted Jamie Knaub for help and we mad a list of five options. I am now the “Research and Biological Imaging Specialist” but Jamie got me a desk plaque with our favorite pick 😍
