My entry to the Marine Biological Laboratory's pumpkin carving contest honoring Osamu Shimomura (MBL Senior Scientist 1981-2001) and his invaluable efforts discovering and characterizing aequorin and Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from the crystal jelly, Aequorea victoria.
Come join our lab at @MBLScience, we are looking for a Research Assistant II with interest in butterfly development! Please click link for additional details.

Expression of Abdominal-B in the brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana, expands our evolutionary understanding of the crustacean abdomen

The 1st of 2 preprints on crustacean Hox regulation from the Patel Lab @Parflyale is up!
Erin Jarvis @apoptic used CRISPR, IF, and ISH of multiple Hox genes to show cross-regulatory and combinatorial interactions driving limb identity in Parhyale! 🧵1/n

For those interested in Hybridization Chain Reaction (HCR), we've posted a protocol with a few adaptations that simplify the procedure and improve signal to noise ratio in our hands https://t.co/kux3aHnLGV

The video features Aaron Pomerantz, a graduate student in MBL Director Nipam Patel's lab. He videotaped most of the segment himself!
@AaronPomerantz That's great! We just need a few more confocals to go around and we can each do the same 😂. Though I feel like a lot of unusual things would get scanned if this were the case ...
Check out this @NSF video highlighting some NSF-funded research by MBL Director Nipam Patel (@Parflyale) and Rachel Thayer (@RachelCThayer).

Back in our most favoritist room - Loeb 260 - teaching Embryology to an enthusiastic group of high school students from The Hockaday School and Glenbard East High @KyleDeMarr@JBMcCarthy1001@apoptic (behind the camera) @MBLScience
Feel fortunate to have seen Human Nature at the Woods Hole Film Festival! It is a multifaceted, accessible documentary about the impact of basic science in the discovery of CRISPR and its potential impact and ethical implications. Go see it when it is released in the fall!
The Patel Lab's Berkeley Border Collie mascot was paired with a grad student lacking in time to teach such an extensive vocabulary. Caspian is extraordinary nonetheless.
Pair a retired academic with the obsessive hyperfocus of a border collie and you get Chaser, who lived a long & healthy life with a larger than life vocabulary & an ability to generalize nouns. RIP, Chaser. https://t.co/FS3t9dAY2H
Nipam Patel: Evolution has solved all the problems we're interested in, we just have to find those organisms and figure out how to ask them how they did it. #2019SDB
Nipam's talks are always so great, inspiring, and it never gets old for me to see the beautiful work all the wonderful people have done at the Patel lab. (And feel so proud of my husband Ryan Null). 😍
