Last week to submit a symposium proposal! Your chance to invite your science superheroes 🦸‍♀️🦸🦸‍♂️ or highlight your topic of choice at the upcoming EED!!! Please RT

I had an enjoyable time presenting my work on iridescent scale development at the Cell Biology Forum. #NECB2023

A new collaborative paper with the Tian lab showing an abdominal Hox genes locus is a hotspot repeatedly targeted for bumble bee coloration, but a Hox ncRNA is involved: academic.oup.com/mbe/article/do…

A cool "pop-out 3D metrology" technique using Transmission electron microscopy images..and a nice example reconstructing #butterfly scales. Advances in such techniques and computational resources can potentially help image nanoscale features faster and more easily in the future.

Very creative...A flytastic Christmas season!

Unable to visit the museum in person? Not to worry! Now you can explore the space virtually with a 360 VR tour developed by our digitisation officer Kane and the Sheffield University Digital Learning team my.matterport.com/show/?m=BTaKuN…

It's finally out!! Check out the updated publication to learn more about scale develpment in #butterflies. #SingleCell

Here is an amazing discovery: Sex determination in the butterfly Bicyclus anynana is caused by heterozogosity at the Masculinzer locus. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I'm very happy and excited to have my image on the cover of the latest Cell Reports , featuring my single-cell work on #butterfly wings. The image is an artificially colored scanning electron micrograph of a butterfly wing demonstrating the diversity of scale cell types.

Morphogens in the evolution of size, shape and patterning In this Review, Lewis Mosby, Amy Bowen and Zena Hadjivasiliou The Francis Crick Institute @UCL explore how morphogen-mediated patterning evolve and how theory and experiment can be interwoven to bring new perspectives: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

#AcademicTwitter They have been watching me!😂 #phdlife #phdvoice

Last week I started a postdoc Imperial College London on engineered living materials and bacterial cellulose. I'm excited for this transition into bioeng and a new phase of learning working with amazing collaborators and industry partners to create applicable biomaterials!
