"One email at a time, one informational interview after another, I became comfortable, confident, and strategic in building my network of mentors."
One mentor isn’t enough, writes @DrErikaMoore in this #ScienceWorkingLife essay from 2021. bit.ly/48iBjGZ #ScienceMagArchives

When is a species not a species... or when is a species actually more than one species? A nice study led by Remi Ketchum in our collaborator Joe Ryan's lab at the Whitney Labs answers that question with regards to species boundaries in Mnemiopsis.

Our paper providing the first comprehensive analysis of the #Hydractinia genome is out in @genomeresearch! Our orthology analyses have revealed that there is shared ancestry with other animals in the form of a conserved toolkit for regeneration.

A great study on the evolution of bioluminescence by @quattrinia and @caseywdunn’s groups featured in this morning’s New York Times. A nice read while enjoying your morning coffee!

Our latest paper in @GenomeBiolEvol describes the identification of 1000s of CNEs in 51 #genomes, providing evidence that transposable elements are a major source of CNEs that may play a critical role in the evolution of regulatory potential. Check it out! doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evae052

A really nice and accessible summary by @isabellaclsci in @preLights of what our #Hydractinia genome sequencing and analysis efforts have uncovered - especially that Hydractinia uses a shared gene toolkit found in almost all animals. Check it out!

Does this tool look familiar? Known as a pipette, this tool is commonly used in laboratories to transport measured amounts of liquid safely and accurately. #ToolTuesday
