Fantastic article in @sciam about comb jellies and how the my CAN handle the pressure. (Also check out Jacob Winnikoff’s @ScienceMagazine paper out today)
Best descriptions I’ve read about our fabulous balls of goo.

This week’s main story is about deep-sea mining, whether it’s worth doing, and what John has in common with Henry Kissinger (unrelated, but still important to note).
🐌 I guess National Snail Day is a good time to share the overwhelming diversity of pelagic gastropods we saw in the Gulf of California, Mexico, last month. We used scuba and trawls on the R/V Sally Ride, supported by NSF grants and expertise of Brad Seibel and Amy Maas.
Recent PhD interested in deep-sea ecology, genomics, biochemistry, or bioluminescence? Apply for a postdoctoral fellowship at @MBARI_News. Check out the sponsor list & e-mail me to discuss projects hosted by my lab. Grad student position opening soon too.

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

Im only crying a little... The flyer is the BEST... Ive gotten to sail on her so many times, been apart of amazing discoveries and she never made me barf! 25 years of ocean exploration: The story of MBARI's R/V Western Flyer https://t.co/Oaf6Sr2CZ5 @MBARI_News
RAD new manuscript by @squamiferum!!! check it out and the bonus material is in the supplement, the 3D renderings are incredible... https://t.co/wgqGA8D6CZ
[New Paper] @ESAEcology reveals stark anatomical shifts linked with distinct diets in closely related deep-sea snails, using synchrotron-CT @spring8pr ! Organ volumetrics can be useful in predicting diets of animals known from specimens only.

not a bad way to start #Monday morning... email from @inaturalist that Bolinopsis infundibulum is split into B. infundibulum and B. microptera. WE DID THIS ♥️ Incredible when you see your work have effects @MBARI_News@beroe @glowglowgirl @conchoecia @Wyaquarist @MarineBiol_FHL
