Still time to submit abstracts —due March 16!— for our Comparative #Cartilage & #Bone Biology (CCBB) conference (https://t.co/fWYz9XLcLd).

A forward-thinking, interactive and inclusive conference for lovers of skeletal (and dental) tissues.

Cutting edge work on #skeletalbiology, intimate discussions and great wine in southern France, 10-13 June, 2025. We’re raising funds to keep registration costs low, especially for junior researchers.

DM me with questions!

Iridescence is everywhere, sometimes in unexpected places like the sesame seed-sized eggs of stick insects! Our new paper, led by @GerbenDebruyn, shows that this color is produced by thin-film interference by a nanoscale outer layer, and functions in ??

New paper!

Our stick insects have weird chromosome segregation.

The major centromere protein, CenH3, binds to the autosomes in a monocentric pattern, but in a holocentric pattern on the X.
