Symbiosis, cell and developmental biology, and corals.

Our latest coral CRISPR paper is out at @PNASNews. We extended our methods to study gene function in coral juveniles. We found that a hard coral-specific bicarbonate transporter is required for coral skeleton formation.

Coral reefs support about 25% of known marine life, but they are threatened by warmer oceans and bleaching.
Marine scientist @pacleves explains how genetics research could help restore and protect reefs—and even advance human health. https://t.co/R2o4KTSVa8
We're thrilled to announce the largest private gift in our 137-year history: a $25 million unrestricted donation from MBL Whitman Scientist Mark Terasaki.
His generosity will bolster our renowned research and education programs. 🔬

Yesterday came the news about the decision to declare Slender-billed Curlew extinct. It's my ultimate favourite bird, so it is quite tough to face this realization. You can read more about it here:

Here are some of my illusrtations and paintings.
Thrilled to share our latest work from my postdoc with @MartinLabMIT in @Dev_Cell ! We uncovered a mechanism linking DV axial patterning with AP axis extension through patterned cell-cell adhesion. Intrigued? Dive into the details here!
Excited to announce that our 2025 Advanced Research Training Course schedule is up and applications are open! 🎉🎉🎉
See you in Woods Hole! https://t.co/9cAcnqoAfG
Congratulations to Paula Miramón-Puértolas @miramon_paula, @eudald_pascual & @PRHSteinmetz for a new paper just out in @NatureComms 🤩 The team's beautiful work identifies a cell population giving rise to both germline and neurons in #Nematostella ⤵️

We are sad to report that the legendary Joseph Gall, called the founder of modern cell biology for his contributions to our understanding of chromosomes and the cellular nucleus, and a widely recognized champion for women in science, has died at 96. https://t.co/EF7CQsTOFD
I will miss Joe…
When I overlapped with Joe at the Carnegie, he showed me a slide with what he thought may be new nuclear organelles which he was referring to at the time as coiled bodies

VitelloTag, a new approach developed at the MBL, resolves a major bottleneck to using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 in many research organisms. https://t.co/PmypMOC0Mq
Es un honor anunciar el Allen Discovery Center for Neurobiology in Changing Environments. Investigaremos mecanismos de resiliencia y vulnerabilidad al cambio climático en animales marinos. Gracias @AllenInstitute and The Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group!

🌊🧬BIG NEWS: Thanks to a four-year, $10 million grant funded by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, a new center will be established at Scripps Oceanography to understand how climate change may impact the nervous systems and behavior of marine animals. 🧵⬇️
@AllenInstitute
.@CarnegieDevBio's @pacleves is a key collaborator on a new effort to understand how climate change may impact the nervous systems and behavior of marine animals. Led by @Scripps_Ocean, the new center was launched with $10 million from @PGAFamilyFdn. https://t.co/NNV4h1Isof
