Came to collect some lake water for a couple experiments this week and accidentally, unapologetically began looking for sponges

First nuclear tests, then #AgentOrange now the long suffering Johnston Atoll faces #SpaceX and its #military transport plans “If we scare the [birds] off of this island, they don’t have another place to go.” https://t.co/kIJAtcOZPj

Great lab with awesome model to study origins of animals. Apply.

Hello folks!
With exciting new grants and new projects in our lab, ✨we are hiring!✨ Please share with prospective Ph.D. students and/or postdocs interested in evolution, genetics, and microbes!

Our short report on a remarkable feature of #ctenophores out now: Reverse development in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis. We show that Mnemiopsis is capable of reversal from mature lobate to early cydippid🤩. @MSarsCentre @UiB @biorxivpreprint #rejuvenation

The first week of the 2024 Symbiosis Course @MBLScience is in the books! We studied various cnidarian model organisms to study the molecular and cellular bases of symbiosis. So fun! On to squid, sponges, and amoebas this week! #MBLSYM2024 @MooreFoundation

[Pawley 🦕 🦠 🧽 @JacobPawley]

Well this is fun :)

Looks like there’s a planarian hanging out in this sponge’s osculum

@laspongehunters woooooooo !

Zooming in and speeding it up a touch, we once again see Ephydatia muelleri constitutively secreting (presumably) sponge waste along mucosal tracts 😀 #sponge #biology

Took a Timelapse to commemorate this #sponge being 6 months old!

Alas, an unexpected bout of shrimp cannibalism has stolen the show…

We have a new pre-print! We characterize the recent, dynamic evolution of caspase-1, caspase-4, and friends 🥰

Imagine growing a miniature version of the human intestine in the lab to study gut biology in great detail and test medicines before clinical trials? We are happy to share our latest publication on bioengineered human mini-intestines: https://t.co/0AvDkk9R3S Let’s dive in!

A herd of shrimps,

eating Petco mystery pellets,

looms yonder.

Love this shot of a Northern Right Whale Dolphin by @seataceans
These are such beautiful iconic animals, a species of dolphin without a dorsal fin.

They deserve a MUCH better common name.

My first dissertation chapter is out in mBio! We cultured a vertically transmitted endosymbiont, sequenced its genome, and showed that it is stably inherited across generation when injected into new hosts!

This is a rare look at a mountain lion on its way to cache (or store) its food. The lion will return to their cache over the next few days to continue eating.
