IT'S HAPPENING I'm joining the next #mollusc #genomics meeting in May 2024 by @EMBO!! 🐙🦑🦪🐌🧬 where I'm gonna share my #PhD main research. Also so much greatful to the organizers for having awarded me a travel grant #EMBOmolluscGenomics meetings.embo.org/event/24-mollu…

Please share our obituary of the wonderful Claus Nielsen. A huge contributor to the study of animal evolution + a very nice man. Happy to have known him for almost 30 yrs since I first wrote to him (a letter!) during my PhD. With @Hejnol_Lab + @wormduty. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Feeling very honored by my awesome colleagues Thiago Araújo and Rick Hockberg who named this gorgeous gastrotrich from Florida Crasiella kocoti. This really made my day💙 mapress.com/zt/article/vie…
