No, you’re not seeing double.
This creature called a sea walnut does indeed have two mouths and two “rear” ends. Yet, it wasn’t born with these double features: Researchers have shown they can make two sea walnuts readily fuse into one body. The finding suggests that this group of animals never evolved immune systems capable of distinguishing self from non-self.

Hi, my name is Naa Asheley Ashitey and I am starting my MD-PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison :)
This first-gen low-income Black girl is going to be a physician-scientist.
Meet Cecilia! A recent grad of @CSUEB, her research interest lies #immunology, specifically in maternal fetal health, transplant, and cancer research. She aspires to be a #physicianscientist and help low income communities as a physician and also through research efforts.
Congratulations @SaraSuliman13 and co on this interesting work! This work identifies fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) as a candidate host factor involved in TB progression.
