Great job Jennifer Polinski !! #proudadvisor

Probiotics aren’t just for people - Diana Kapareiko of NOAA Fisheries is using helpful microbes to grow oyster larvae #GMGI19 #GMGIScienceForum

“Nobody goes to the Great Marsh to see the microbes, and that’s a real shame” - Jennifer Bowen of Northeastern U. Marine Science Center helping us appreciate the little things #GMGI19 #GMGIScienceForum

GMGI’s new microbial scientist, Matthew Harke, delves into his postdoc work on symbiosis between a diatom and bacteria, using transcriptomics to uncover diurnal patterns. 🦠🧬 Great job, Matt! #gmgi19 #GMGIScienceForum

Gary Wessel of Brown University suggests GMGI change its name to GMGISUSS (Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute of sea urchins and sea stars) as he discusses germ line formation in the two organisms #GMGI19

Joshua Rosenthal of Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) wraps up the science sessions of #GMGI19 with RNA editing in the cephalopod nervous system 🐙

It’s never easy to say goodbye! Last month #GMGI received 4 rare #lobsters from local lobstermen. The beauty of #genomics is that it doesn’t take much - we’ve taken samples so now it’s time to return these beauties to the sea 🦞

Thanks to all who attended and presented at tonight’s Benchtop NGS mini user group meeting and happy hour. Some excellent ideas were shared. Illumina researchers are doing amazing things! Chris Benton Ryan Hegarty Ian Herriott Jennifer Polinski

By comparing young and old individuals, we uncovered unique patterns of aging in nervous tissues of red sea urchins - among the longest lived animals on earth (~200 years) #GMGI #marinescience #transcriptomics nature.com/articles/s4159…

The long-lived red sea urchin (I used to collect these lovelies) is emerging in the study of #longevity, negligible #senescence, and tissue regeneration. Congrats to Jennifer Polinski and the GMGI team on publishing this groundbreaking work! nature.com/articles/s4159… Innovate Gloucester

I submitted one of my recent dive photos to the #oceanconservancy #photocontest. Please vote for it! Ocean Conservancy #winterflounder #newenglanddiving woobox.com/o6idqf/gallery…

Last night’s #GMGI #ScienceHour featuring Dr. Bruce Walker was very interesting and informative! Go to gmgi.org/news/gmgi-scie… to register for upcoming Science Hour webinars and watch previous ones on a variety of exciting science topics

Started a little instagram project for sharing my dive photos and fun facts about the featured critters. Check it out! instagram.com/jmp_photograse…

Excited to start applying all the techniques learned this week to my own data! 🧬💻

We did it! We published the lobster genome! 🦞🧬 A link to the publication itself will follow sciencemag.org/news/2021/06/h…

#GenomicsAtSea! It’s been a while since I’ve used twitter but a trip on the #OceanXplorer with OceanX to teach #MarineGenomics at sea during the #YoungExplorersProgram seems like a good reason to get back on 🌊🧬⛴ #GMGI
