@BootsUK, please may I know why my appointment for a flu vaccination at Boots Exeter High St on 27th Nov, booked on 5th November, has been cancelled today? No explanation given in the cancellation email. Invited to rebook but there are now no available slots. Very disappointed.

Exciting news! We have a funded 4-year PhD studentship starting in Sept 2025. This will use the new "Multiscope" parallelised microscope to study the effect of neuroendocrine signalling on feeding behaviour. Answer fundamental bioscience questions using high throughput imaging!

Using Aurelia, this work shows microbiota affect the transition from polyp to medusa (strobilation) and nematocyte development and possibly feeding.

[Elizabeth Williams @MarInvMet]

This #WormWednesday why not consider joining our Molecular Marine Systems team @UniExe to compare sensory systems of Platynereis sister species for your #PhDposition and be a part of the Marie Curie ZooCell network https://t.co/2e2AzYkLO9

[Maria Sachkova @SachkovaMaria]

My first independent review about ctenophores and the evolution of nervous system 😎https://t.co/BDdl8vn2y5 Many thanks @Ferdix and Cedric Finet for the invitation!! And @JoanJSoto for awesome ctenophore pictures!! @BristolBioSci

[Clytia group LBDV @Clytia_Vlfr]

Interested in a PhD project to map subcellular features to cellular transcriptomes in the Clytia larva? We are looking for candidates withing another great Marie Curie training network called "ZooCELL". DC4 in the network advert here: https://t.co/dMU9F7Tk4d

✨A new paper in @CurrentBiology reveals how marine invertebrates navigate their environment! Using model organism Ciona intestinalis, researchers led by @HoyerJorgen from @mchlab shed light on the mystery of sensory perception in larvae. 👏👏 @UiB

@MadS100tist Thanks!! Indeed, the predatory Aiptasia larvae are amazing 🤩

[Elizabeth Williams @MarInvMet]

We've found a settlement cue for our favourite #Platynereis larvae - microalgae! Just look at its little mouth quivering in excitement 😍 Read more in our @biorxivpreprint with @Ecotox_Cam and @JekelyLab here: https://t.co/VMCVQhoPZR
