Whitney Leach collaborated with @LaydenLab @Layla_Al_Shaer on this project:

Environmental and molecular regulation of asexual reproduction in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis https://t.co/vVswSycqMn

The #Aiptasia life cycle is closed! A prerequisite to settlement of larvae is actively hunting prey, not #symbiosis. Thus, carnivory likely is an ancestral feature in the cnidarian gastrula life stage: https://t.co/h5nyLDASwY

Fist graduate student’s final 1st author paper is out. Nice work @DrDylanFaltz https://t.co/88KeTTYLSV

[Lior Pachter @lpachter]

The @biorxivpreprint has been weaponized by many labs who use it to plant priority flags, not to accelerate research (accomplished by withholding methods and/or data). This does not serve the interests of either the scientific community, or the public.

[Ulrich Technau @UlrichTechnau]

PhD position available in our group. The PhD candidate will explore single cell genomics data, generate transgenic and CRISPR lines to understand neuronal and muscular interactions in the cnidarian @Nematostella vectensis. Send your applications to [email protected]

Michael Layden @laydenbio @lehigU will explain their work on Nematostella nervous system evo-development and the pathways that make it possible #2022SDB #EvoDevo2022

[simon-sprecher.bsky.social @simon_sprecher]

Nervous systems are complex organs that consist of many - possibly thousands- different neuron types.

But how complex is the nervous system in Cnidarians?
What do we already know and what remains unexplored?

@LehighBiology Undergrad Caroline Pritchard @FLPingFRTflies from @WareLabLehigh won first place for her presentation at the Mid-Atlantic @SocDevBio regional meeting. Great Job Caroline.

#2022MASDB speaker Dr. Dylan Faltine-Gonzalez from the @LaydenLab studies the evolution of nervous systems and neuronal patterning. He uses Nematostella to investigate whether mechanisms of neuronal patterning are conserved between cnidarians and bilaterians.
