So excited to share that we've been able to generate knockout lines in the bobtail squid Euprymna berryi! The albinos are nearly transparent, which enables in vivo neural activity recording. Now out in Current Biology authors.elsevier.com/c/1hHXf_LsQSPr…

So excited to share some of the work I got to be a part of at Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL). Out now in Current Biology : authors.elsevier.com/c/1hHXf_LsQSPr…

Excited to share that our cuttlefish brain atlas is now out in Current Biology! Check out our website Cuttlebase.org and play around with the brain of this crazy camouflaging cephalopod. It was an amazing team effort 🐙✨ authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

The MBL Cephalopod Program has engineered an albino strain of hummingbird bobtail squid, allowing clear optical access for neurobiological and other research. mbl.edu/news/see-throu…

A mind-blowing paper has come out today in nature In 2016, JC Venter Institute scientists trimmed a bacterial genome to its barest minimum required for life to synthesize what they called a "minimal genome" (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…). Today, a group of scientists from

My new paper w/@ReesKassen is now available on the Just Accepted page at @ASNAmNat! This project was was filled with striking results and, we think, we hope, opens the door to many future projects and applications, so please give it a read! (1/n) journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.108…
