If you like snowflakes, check our new preprint about axial patterning in brittle stars ⭐ We looked at the expression of anteroposterior patterning genes in Amphipholis squamata juveniles, and compared it with existing data from other classes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @lowelab.bsky.social

Planning your summer science adventures? Join us at this amazing Gordon Conference in the Swiss Alps. Follow this thread for the diverse topics and speakers already on board, and we're starting to look at abstracts for more invited talks! Please re-post

Monod Conference "Origin of metazoans": fossils, genomes, cell biology, gene regulation, development, and more. Join us in Roscoff for an exceptional speaker line-up and stunning venue! 🗓️Abstract deadline: March 4. Register and share! www.insb.cnrs.fr/fr/origin-me...

The Munro (Chicago), Lenne and Rupprecht (Marseille) groups seek 2-3 postdoctoral fellows to join a newly funded (NSF/ANR) international collaboration on the multiscale dynamics of cell contact formation and remodeling.

Our next meeting will be July 22-25 at the University of Miami in summer 2025, with satellite meetings on July 21. More details will be coming shortly! Stay tuned.

I’m delighted to share that I will be starting my lab @univmiami.bsky.social in Spring 2025! We will study cellular and developmental biology in non-bilaterian animals – cnidarians, ctenophores, placozoans, and sponges – to explore early animal evolution.
