How do #sponges coordinate their bodies despite lacking neurons and true muscles?
We show that sponges use monoamines to control water flow in their canals — reminiscent of how adrenaline regulates blood vessels.

Very excited to see our preprint on the monoaminergic signaling system in sponges (https://t.co/c62yTbWP6u) featured by @qedScience. This highlights the importance of studying early-branching animals to piece together how the first animal cell types communicated with each other.

Congratulations to our rotation student, Roy Zang, for delivering a great rotation talk for the @YaleBBS#MCGDTrack! 🥳
Great job to our lab mentors, Oliver Glomb and Grace Swaim!
Today marks a period of my fulfilling time at Western University as my M. Sc. thesis was accepted officially. I want to thank my supervisor @DikeakosLab for his support and guidance.
I am unsure what the future holds, but there will be limitless hypotheses to be tested.

There is a cleavage site in the spike glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 for furin proteases. The closest virus from a bat does not. Read about the implications, at virology blog https://t.co/uLi61DCcwU #SARSCoV2#COVID2019
