Hi hive mind - can you help me figure out documents need to be completed to have some fin tissues (dried fin clips and otoliths. Not a listed species) couriered to us from the USA please? My brain shuts down when I start trying to understand the customs website #FishSci

I'm looking for a postdoc to work on some coral genomics projects! Description here, pass it on to anyone you think might be interested! drive.google.com/file/d/1r4pjf2…

For coral reefs, 2024 is the year from hell. The climate crisis is here. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Do you love coral-algal symbioses, adaptation to extreme environments, and/or genomic structural variation? Then let's chat about applying for an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship to work with me @WarwickLifeSci! #MSCA #coral #ecoevo

Mass mortality currently unfolding in the northern Great Barrier Reef. This isn’t an isolated site: an entire 8km long fore-reef flank that three months ago was >80% coral cover. After 6 DHW >90% of these colonies are either bleached or dead.

I am very happy to report that the years of work we put into studying the ecology and evolution of a single cryptic human gut plasmid is now nicely summarized in a paper that just appeared in @CellCellPress: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Here is a 🧵 to cover some take home messages.

💊🧬 To all working on Natural Products 🧬💊 The #CBNP17 Symposium is taking place at @uniofwarwick on 4-5 July, back-to-back with #DBVII. We are accepting abstracts for talks and posters, particularly from ECRs. Find out more and register here warwick.ac.uk/naturalproducts

Northern and southern populations of 𝘔𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘴𝘪𝘴 seem to have distinct genomic signatures. Why? The Gulf Stream may act as a barrier near the outer banks, limiting population mixing. Is there a name-change coming for this little #ctenophore?

Chemists and biologists, do you have any idea where I can get 2'-5' oligoadenylate (sometimes called in short 2-5A)? It is made by enzymes of the OAS family from ATP, but I couldn't find it anywhere commercially, and a researcher who used to make this compound recently retired.
