Eleanor Gilbert

@thoughtsofaphd Hi all! 👋 I'm Eleanor, a first year #PhD student at @PlymUni and @thembauk, studying the function of the sensory apical organ in #cnidarians. Out of hours you'll find me writing #scicomm, knitting, playing instruments and practicing photography 🎶📸

@charley_clubley @ByersEcologyLab @DeepSeaEcol @benthicecol @Louise_Firth_IE @louisaewood Congratulations Dr Clubley! 🥳🥳

I passed my viva!!! Huge thank you to @ByersEcologyLab and @DeepSeaEcol for an engaging discussion and @benthicecol @Louise_Firth_IE Dave Bilton @louisaewood and Tiago Silva for their supervision over the last 3/4 years 🙌

📝 The absence of apical organ structures in some marine invertebrates has raised questions about its evolutionary origin. PhD Student, Eleanor Gilbert, & researchers from the MBA recently led a study to investigate the origin & find out why. Read here ➡️ buff.ly/3SMAccl

@LemaitreQuentin @iNeuroMyoGene So exciting! Congratulations 🥳

So glad to start my postdoc at the @iNeuroMyoGene (Lyon) in the group of Jean-Louis Bessereau for studying synapses in C. elegans!

@OceaneTourniere @MolBioEvol @Venky_MVN @AquariumCurator @thembauk Thank you, Océane! 🥳

@EleJaneMBO @MolBioEvol @Venky_MVN @AquariumCurator @thembauk Congrats @EleJaneMBO ! So proud of your achievements 👏🏼👏🏼

✨New paper alert✨ Check out our latest paper, where we look at apical organ gene regulatory networks and the origin of the apical tuft in cnidarians. Just published in @MolBioEvol: doi.org/10.1093/molbev… @Venky_MVN @AquariumCurator @thembauk

@YehuMoran @MolBioEvol @Venky_MVN @AquariumCurator @thembauk Thank you, Yehu!

@EleJaneMBO @MolBioEvol @Venky_MVN @AquariumCurator @thembauk Congratulations, Eleanor!

We are thrilled that our preprint has undergone a metamorphosis and settled as a peer-reviewed article in MBE academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…. Please check out the original preprint thread that summarizes the insights from our study👇 @thembauk @EleJaneMBO @AquariumCurator

@ScientistJake Beautiful images! Congrats 🥳

Excited to share our latest preprint on the stony coral Astrangia poculata! We present a suite of tools to manipulate gene function including gene knock-in positioning Astrangia as a powerful model for coral development and evolution. More here 👇: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Some really interesting answers from @coddiepoc in this viva Q&A! #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #phdchat #phdlife

Please spread the word - one more PhD position to study the effects of climate change and bleaching on the coral venom! Will be happy to discuss the project 🙂 Deadline: Midnight, 4 December. @SWBio_DTP @BristolBioSci swbio.ac.uk/advancing-the-…

Awesome PhD opportunity! 👇

Please spread the word: a funded PhD position for UK students of Black heritage to study effects of climate change on venom composition in local jellyfish and sea anemone species! Deadline - January 8. findaphd.com/phds/project/f…

@Matteo_Pivato @dbtunivr @BallottariM @Fra_LicO2si @Ale_Alboresi Congratulations Matteo! 🥳🥳🥳

Ph(inishe)D!! Finally defended my PhD thesis at @dbtunivr. It has truly been an amazing journey!! A big thank to my supervisor @BallottariM for his support over the past years, and to the reviewers @Fra_LicO2si @Ale_Alboresi for the helpful comments and the awesome discussion🔬🦠

Very proud to have presented at the iconic #BasalMeatzoansWorkshop meeting in #Tutzing2023! It was great to meet new and old colleagues, and see some amazing science going on in the community! I promise I wasn't trying to hide behind my laptop... 🤨

Three generations of Michael Sars Centre researchers gathered during the workshop on basal metazoans in Tutzing, Germany. 🙌 #BasalMetazoanWorkshop @UiB From left: Eleanor Gilbert @elejaneMBO Eudald Pascual @eudald_pascual Ulrich Technau @UlrichTechnau ⬇️

Just leave me in Germany, I won't complain! What a beautiful location ☀️ #Tutzing2023

@OceaneTourniere Thanks Océane! ☺️

@EleJaneMBO Congrats Eleanor !! So happy everything is going so well for you 👏🏼👏🏼wish I could see it in Tutzing!

Excited to see our work out there! I'll be presenting these results in just a few days time at the #BasalMetazoanWorkshop in Tutzing!

@JM_Gahan Thanks James! And you, yours!

@EleJaneMBO Congrats Eleanor, great to see all your sucess!

@JM_Gahan @uniofgalway @ERC_Research @MSarsCentre Massive congratulations! Really well deserved 👏👏👏

Excited to finally share that I have been awarded an ERC Starting Grant and I will start my own group at the Center for Chromosome Biology @uniofgalway in 2024 working on chromatin and gene regulation in choanoflagellates! #ERCStG @ERC_Research Cake courtesy of @MSarsCentre
