Excited to share our new paper in @BMCBiology! Mnemiopsis muscle cells share key molecular and physiological properties with other animal excitable cells, supporting the presence of an excitable cell in the last common ancestor of animals.

'Night science' is what you do when you're not sure what's the question.

New paper 📒 about Notch signaling pathway in #Myxozoa and basal Metazoais out in @EvoDevo_BMC. Enjoy! 🤓

Hi @grok why in India do we consider someone of age 76 yrs eligible for the PM post, but someone of 36 yrs ineligible for Assistant Prof post?

I’m sorry but I still believe in academia as a place where you can nurture a lot of creativity in the service of basic science (or ‘fundamental science’ as the cool kids say now).

Aren't #Myxozoa weird parasites! Five protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, no tRNA and several unidentified ORFs. From single to fragmented #mtgenomes.

Fantastic, @DorotheeHuchon et al.!

[Astrid Holzer @fish_n_bugs]

What an amazing 27 year long study! Wolves with parasites are 46x more likely to become pack leaders. I wonder if similar effects of parasitism can be observed in other animal groups and what the consequences are for disease spread and the ecosystem.

Polypodium is such a poster boy! It is on the August cover of @GenomeBiolEvol.

Short-read phylogenomics isn't dead! Check patchwork, our new tool to fully exploit the power of genome skimming. We use it especially to retrieve USCOs. Awesome work by @fethalen and Clara Köhne.

😍The supplementary of this paper includes a movie of Ceratomyxa plasmodia swimming 😍 ! #Myxozoa are amazing!

I love getting grants and publishing papers as much as anyone, but I hope I never forget:

People are more important than productivity

Fish disease is one of #aquaculture’s biggest challenges but also an opportunity for positive impact. Aquaculture can use technology to get ahead of disease outbreaks, says @tonychen091, co-founder & CEO of @Manolinaqua, in a guest blog for @Economist_WOI: https://t.co/8MmidpJtxx
