Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. In our new @Nature paper, Darrin Schultz @conchoecia used the position of genes on chromosomes to show that ctenophores (comb jellies) not sponges are the sister-group to all other animals. https://t.co/LCSHC1AbRu
Here are my 12 guidelines for data exploration and analysis with the right attitude for discovery:
1. You never really finish analyzing a dataset. You just decide to stop and move on at some point, leaving some things undiscovered. ๐งต
If you missed them, these grad students in Frank Smith's lab gave amazing tardigrade talks:
Taylor Harrison, segment polarity network
@ostralegus, opsin regulation
@chico_snake, a-p axis regulation
All with gorgeous HCR in situs and interesting EvoDevo implications!! #SICB2023
@ArachnologyNerd So sorry to hear :c You're awesome! and knowing that badass individuals like you are in science made me feel excited to give it a go! Thank you Dr. Esposito
This graphic helps me wrap my head around the magnitude of the problem. Notice the amount of current biomass for wild mammals (in green) versus that for livestock and humans. No wonder we have converging crises of biodiversity, fresh water, and climate. https://t.co/bca7h18Sbp
Tricks, treats and research! ๐ป
Yesterday the UNF Research Ambassadors Club highlighted some of their spooky research during a fa-boo-lous TED Talk inspired event. ๐
A trifecta of sorts-Antarctic arthropods! Pycnogonid plus two distinctive isopods, Glyptonotus & "Serolis" or some kind of Serolidae. From 2006 #seaspiderSaturday etc.
