Happy #WorldJellyfishDay! #Jellyfish are incredibly unique and beautiful creatures! Did you know that they have no brains, hearts, or bones? Instead, they have a nerve net to help them respond to changes in their environment! Come see our translucent friends @LKCNHM!

🇸🇬 So grateful to have spent last week with the @IUCNRedList Coral Specialists hosted by @NUSReef ! Busy but productive and also time to explore SG biodiversity above and below the water 🪸🐠
💡New skills ready to be employed in future research!

[Walter Dellisanti, PhD 🪸🔬🤿 @WDellisanti]

🌴 In Singapore as invited assessor for the @IUCNRedList of corals. Hosted by the @NUSingapore and @NUSReef, we will be reviewing the status of 400+ Indo-Pacific corals by the end of the week.
🚨 New updated assessment will be online in 2024!

Here's a story about a field DNA barcoding study done by researchers from @NUSingapore.

⭐They collected marine animals by SCUBA diving & DNA barcoded them from a diving boat!⭐

Amazing work & detailed protocols!

Had an amazing experience collecting octocorals in Singapore! Thank you very much everyone for the incredible hospitality and great science. It's a privilege to have a bit of Singapore in my PhD! @lkcnhm @jcu

[Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum @lkcnhm]

We are happy to host Prof Catherine McFadden, Prof Yehuda Benayahu and Mr Stefano Borghi, from @harveymudd , @TelAvivUni and @jcu respectively. With us till 2 July to process and examine soft corals, we hope that they will enjoy their time here!

Nearing the end of my @ChurchillTrust Fellowship & it has been fun spending time in the field & museum with Danwei & students from @NUSReef Talking phylogenomics & generally nerding out over coral taxonomy 🪸 Looking forward to future collabs!
