@missbarroga Congratulations on your PhD @missbarroga! Would you be interested in giving a talk in our annual convention on 23-24 November at UST? Theme of the convention is EcoEvoDevo: Development in Context. Please feel free to DM us if you have any Qs. Thanks and hope to see you there!

Hi guys!

We invite everyone to Keana's thesis defense on the Neuroendocrine Regulation of the Metamorphic Transition of Giant Clams. This will be held on Friday, 22 September 2023 at 2:00 PM.

From a paper published 100 years ago... 😱

"the writer volunteers no expression of opinion at this time, but merely calls attention to the situation"

why can't we still write like this?! instead of packaging up every discovery as the final piece of some puzzle...

Imagine never seeing a bird fly with your own eyes, and trying to describe how it flies based on this video, where the camera's frame rate is perfectly synchronized with the birds wings. This is doing science at the molecular scale.

Finally it’s arrived! Foldscope 2.0. We have been working on this for many years - so thrilled to see this out! Will write a longer thread on new features shortly - but finally we have swappable lenses (3!!). Your support allows us to bring microscopy to all corners of the world.

The side that the eyes of flatfishes migrate to can be used for ID!

Family Pleuronectidae are 'right eyed flounders' because most species in the family lie on their lefthand (leftfin?) sides with their eyes on their right. Paralichtids sit on their right with eyes to the left 🐟

[Dr. Vincent Raoult @sawsharkman]

The scary thing is this fish skull starts out looking normal, and the EYE MOVES AS IT GROWS TO MATURITY

[Richard_Carr @EmuLarge]

For anyone else having a hell of a time looking at this, THESE are the orbits… Flatfish laugh in the face of your fancy bilateral symmetry.

Pinoy science twitter: Have you tried applying for a PD 997 (granting civil service exam exemption for MS/PhD grads)? Curious how long it took from application->certification

[Jake P. Baquiran @bokterium]

Hi #spongers! Please help me verify this organism 🙏🏻We saw this one covering mostly coral Heliopora colonies in one of our sites here in northwestern Philippines. We think it is a species of sponge Halisarca. Are we right? Thank you in advance. #sponges #spongethursday

It’s that wonderful time of the summer when new students in the lab get to witness the miracles of the frog embryo. I’ll never get tired of watching the most amazing vertebrate embryo! @frogwranglers

It's #WorldLizardDay! DYK that the Philippines harbors ~207 species of lizards, 89.4% of which are found nowhere else in the world! Over the past 2 decades alone, 72 of 95 newly described PH herpetofauna were lizards & many more still await taxonomic work! #BiodiversityPH 🦎
