@quattrinia Sooo pretty!! I'm dying for a piece of it!😅🤣 I've seen it bf (in pics), with no sample to confirm ID. It can be a Farreidae, or Euretidae (glass-sponges)... with high chances of something new!

Absolutely ecstatic to share my very first publication! We assessed selection in 🪸mitochondrial genomes and explored how selective pressures in the #deepsea influence mt adaptations. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Museum collections provide some of the most important data to help us understand and predict what is happening under a changing climate. However, our collections pre-date electronic databases by hundreds of years so how do we know what we have?

Sponges may be one of the most "primitive" multicellular animals, but their mechanisms for filter feeding are a wonder to behold. Here's an appreciation post for their critical contributions to reef ecology. Read more about these beauties at schmidtocean.org/cruise-log-pos…

Excited to share our new paper on deuterostome origins, thoroughly summarized here by @KNanglu. @KNanglu approached me in 2019 with the idea of this paper. I told him he was talking to the wrong person! I'm thankful for his trust and support in leading this paper.

#WormWednesday I’m excited to share that our paper on Deuterostome origins is now out in Biological Reviews; @csout0 @LenaDoesScience @Davey_F_Wright and I survey the fossil, developmental, and molecular evidence for early deuterostome evolution: tinyurl.com/3etzhppv 🧵👇

Check out this @guardian feature on #deepsea sponges and the very special "The Forest of the Weird ". Thanks @helenscales for the very nice chat on my favorite subject... #sponges! 🙃

IZ's @CastelloBrancoC featured in a Guardian piece on sponges and the deep sea habitat that @echinoblog dubbed "The Forest of the Weird" theguardian.com/environment/20… “These kinds of environments with this diversity of sponges are more common than we used to think.”

If you've visited the @NMNH, you might think you've seen all we have to offer. But did you know, what you see on display is actually less than 1% of our entire collections? youtube.com/watch?v=Oese1n…
