Yesterday at the #NLSEB annual meeting. The preliminary results of our review about eye evolution in spiders!! It had been a while since the last time I presented a poster 🙂‍↕️

[@RBGE_Science @RBGE_Science]

Great progress in @darwintreelife praised by Harris A Lewin @ucdavis @EBPgenome, appearing remotely at @BioGenEurope kickoff meeting @museumnaturalis. #Genomics #biodiversity

🔥🔥🔥 Extremely honoured to receive @ERC_Research #ERCCoG funding for my research on plant-fungal networks🌳🍄 @Naturalis_Sci @IBED_UvA @BayreuthCentre @Biodiversity_XL @spununderground @AriseBiodivers1 @KatieField4

📽️ Here's what I will be working on:

[Andres Rivera Quiroz @FARivera07]

Have you ever seen the brain of a spider? What about one that has been sitting in a collection decades!? Take a look at our new publication on the use of legacy material for visualizing the brain morphology. @millerjeremya @Naturalis_Sci @DiversityMdpi

@dewipramanik @spidersphylo Thanks Dewi!

[Dimitar Dimitrov @spidersphylo]

I am seeking for a PhD student in spider systematics and biogeography. If you like spiders and are interested in systematics and biogeography and you like fjords check this link for more info

A huge thanks to @FARivera07 and Rob Langelaan, I start to explore stunning mycorrhizal structures within orchid roots.

@EBGirard @BioGaryBarker I would say its a female of the family Nemesiidae but wouldn't dare to name a genus or species. Common in continental Europe but not in the UK as far as I know

[Animal Behavior Society @AnimBehSociety]

The New Zealand giraffe weevil has an impressive 30x body size range. If the smallest #weevil was the mass of a human, the largest one would be more than the combined mass of 2 adult giraffes! #ABStakeover & @ummat_s @ erin_powell, @chrissiepainting

Today, @FARivera07 passed his PhD defense @UniLeiden with flying colours (similarly flying colours were to be seen on the face mask of the secretary of the committee).
