Worm Wranglers

Curious group of scientists @EMBL trying to understand how flatworms do their things. Tweets by all members of the group!!!

Our study on shape diversity in cnidarians is now published. The final version includes extensive new data that substantially extend the original bioRxiv preprint. Congrats to everyone who contributed to this work! https://t.co/jD86YnSinC

We want to thank @SytskeW for connecting us with @uilenduin. @uilenduin, thank you so much for sending us the worms! They are growing and thriving 😍

Rolling out the red carpet this #FlatwormFriday for the Diversibipalium multilineatum. Not just a globetrotter from Japan to Europe, but a real 'long-distance' runner too. Maybe their length helps with the jet lag! 🪱✈️ #AlienSpecies

#WormWranglers at #BlackForest. We were having a lot of fun at the DB Unit Retreat! Thanks the amazing organizing team, including @AleReversi @DrMattBenton @vincentflora @jordivangestel @noa_ottilie!!!

Folks looking for the chance to develop an interdisciplinary research program leveraging the amazing biology of planarian flatworms - please check this out and get in touch! We are always happy to discuss new ideas and options for working together.

And it has been super nice to interacting with other teams @SchwabYannick @JohanD13016359 @dudin_o @MarineLaporte8 @HiralABShah

Our group's first field trip to sampling planarian biodiversity in Iceland 🇮🇸, as part of #TREC22. It has been a really fun adventure between us @kristinamirkes
@YMeiborg @meo0205 and the amazing @quelandries from the @rinklab. And we have found/seen some interesting #flatworms.

[Worm Wranglers @WormWranglers]

Since then, we have found many more #planarians and other interesting things. It has been an amazing experience! Thanks the #TREC22 team @embl, the coordinators and scientists @uni_iceland and #Hafrannsóknastofnun for all the supports to make the trip possible 🙏🙏🙏.
