Research led by @conchoecia @beroe and their collaborators provides new insights about one of the earliest points in animal evolution that happened more than 700 million years ago.

Thanks to @elise_overgaard @MontereyHerald for the coverage: https://t.co/5v38rfHE4Z

New vocab word: rhizosphere!
As in: @SLAClab researchers use synchrotron x-rays to look at nutrient exchanges happening in the rhizosphere (plant roots + soil + microbes) hoping to engineer more resilient plants that can stand up to climate change. Cool!

As the fight against RSV adds vaccines, UCSC researcher is on the cutting edge https://t.co/vYBy0SNRx7 via @elise_overgaard, a Q&A with Rebecca DuBois @TheDuBoisLab on her @UCSCscience work

[UCSC SciCom @UCSC_SciCom]

Slither on over to watch this video on slug sex. @UCSCscience’s Janet Leonard is a national treasure and @elise_overgaard from the newly minted class of 2023 truly captured her personality https://t.co/7JpilXet1H

She studies slug sex by the seashore: UCSC researcher works to unlock secrets of banana slug sex https://t.co/w57pr3W6uU via @elise_overgaard, an insightful Q&A with Janet Leonard

[Elise Overgaard @elise_overgaard]

Slimy slug sex is wild. Reciprocal copulation? Plural of penis (penes)? Apophallation (chewing off said penes)? Janet Leonard and @devdevbev have the science you never knew you needed to know! @LookoutSCruz

WEDNESDAY'S TOP HEADLINES: Watsonville nurses rally, banana slug sex and punk revolution https://t.co/n0ggABjDrC < -- Check out stories from Beki San Martin, @elise_overgaard, @wallacebaine, @jmpasko96 and more, plus a city council dispatch from @TopherJNeely

[UCSC SciCom @UCSC_SciCom]

In a new twist on the Hunger Games, scientists figured out exactly what mosquitoes love about some people's scents. It's cheesier than you think. @katelisab3th reports! https://t.co/kOB7y9Yqb8

[UCSC SciCom @UCSC_SciCom]

Solving two problems at once, researchers recycled diapers into "nappy-infused concrete," and then built a house with it. The new material could simultaneously divert waste from landfills and provide more affordable housing. By @ElissaWelle for @Nature

[Darrin Schultz @conchoecia]

Ctenophores or sponges? We identified chromosomal changes that support ctenophores as the sister group of all other animals.

[UCSC SciCom @UCSC_SciCom]

Debate settled? A new study offers "best support we've ever had" that comb jellies, not sponges, descended from the first branch in the tree of life. @ucsc alum @conchoecia led the study with local support from @MBARI_News. @elise_overgaard has the story. https://t.co/KE7NzqxwFF
