We are looking for a new @thembauk.bsky.social Anne Warner Research Fellow (5 year post) to develop an independent research group in the area of cell and molecular biology of marine organisms here in #Plymouth 🔬🦠🧫🧬 mymba.mba.ac.uk/job-listing....

We've just been awarded a grant to study the cellular basis of regeneration – to track the progenitors of sensory organs in the context of leg regeneration, in our favourite crustacean tinyurl.com/parhyale, based on live imaging and cell tracking. The project involves some cool collaborations... 1/3

Super !

I am honored and beyond happy to share that I have been awarded an @inserm.fr #ATIP-Avenir fellowship to start my own lab to study body plan evolution in #echinoderms 🤩

Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon!!

Introducing the Michael Sars Visitors Program The Michael Sars Centre is launching a Visitors Program designed to foster scientific exchange and collaborations across disciplines.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Michael Sars Visitors Program! ✨🧪 To spark new connections, we are opening our doors to visiting researchers who wish to conduct a project in #SunnyBergen. Applications are open, help us spread the word!

My first steps into paleontology!! 😀
Big thanks to @imranrahman.bsky.social for having me on this cool project to look at some fascinating echinoderm fossils ⭐

Chordin-mediated BMP shuttling patterns the secondary body axis in a cnidarian Chordin-mediated BMP shuttling is the candidate mechanism for generating bilateral symmetry in the cnidarian-bilaterian ancestor.

David’s @davidmoersdorf.bsky.social cool paper about the role of Chordin in BMP signaling in the sea anemone Nematostella is finally out www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

You still have one week to apply to this position! Take your chance to do your postdoc on alien critters 🐙🦑 in a vibrant yet cosy - walkable!- town in Europe. Pls RT

complex crab anatomy guide, covering the basic parts of the arms, legs, body shape, and tail.

complex bivalve anatomy guide covering the basic jargons of the anatomy, the shape, shell margin, and ribbed texture called sculpture.

complex crinoid anatomy guide focusing on the different jargons used to describe their body parts like the stalk, calyx, and arms

complex cephalopod anatomy guide primarily concerning the basic anatomy, eye shape, and how some of them are shelled while most are naked

Don't have an invertebrate artwork to post for #InverteFest?

I got you covered. I teamed up with multiple experts to create guides to comprehend various invertebrate anatomy.

90% of you probably don’t need to read this.
But maybe some of you are curious & 10% will feel seen. Or a little less alone. This isn’t about seeking sympathy.
It’s about sharing something hard to say out loud;
partly to heal, partly in case someone needs to hear it too. (1/3)

The anti-neural role of BMP signaling is a side effect of its global function in dorsoventral patterning In Bilateria with centralized nervous systems (e.g. in vertebrates or arthropods), the minimum of the BMP signaling activity gradient defines the position of the central nervous system.
