Every time I leave the lab I say “good job you guys, see you tomorrow” to my jellyfish and I really wish someone could give me credit for just staying alive, because honestly good job everybody

🚨New Paper Alert! 🚨Excited to share our paper demonstrating impacts of antibiotics on host-fitness and the microbiome🦠 in Aiptasia out now in @mSystemsJ. doi.org/10.1128/msyste… A 🧵 1/8

Interested in a PhD position in my lab starting fall 2024? DM me for special selection for our new English graduate program in Marine Sciences @tohoku_univ

It was a loonnnnnng time coming but our paper on path dependent evolution of visual systems is out in Science! @RebeccaMVarney @joie_cannon @Morris_Glr Dan Speiser Doug Eernisse. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Also, nice Perspective piece by @lauren_hsr ! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@GinaGoesOutside A true champion of the people

this little gator I saw today caught a bowfin bigger than its entire head and struggled to eat it for 20 minutes before finally succeeding 😭 please clap

Found out the #preprint of my final chapter went live because of the new slate of predatory journal spam messages 😅 If you want to peep the Florida Keys #Cassiopea microbiome deets, do so below: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Will accept feedback on the lab’s nematocyst Valentines Day art

A holiday Aiptasia for the Sogin Lab decorations!

Wanna explore the ocean floor from Philly?! September 6th is your DAY! We're going to learn about deep sea weirdos, see a LIVE view of a research vessel, have a conversation with scientists DOING science & more. I'll even let you hold an anglerfish 😘 classy.org/event/deep-div…

@Stealthwater @momedinamunoz @Roberson_Lo @BillPrecht I’ve seen them on marathon key shallow water in other years but they had way more cassio blue than these do

@momedinamunoz @Roberson_Lo @BillPrecht Its been going on a while here too. This is on little torch.

Wish you could see my platform docs in my graduation photos

RNAseq counting tools are not perfect. I simulated 240 GTEx samples to test multiple tools. Below I show the difference between actual and estimated counts for each simulated sample. But, what is causing this? And will it affect differential expression? (1/7) #Bioinformatics

I see you active on Slack on Sunday when you said you were not working weekends 👀

@baileys This is also just incorrect, right? “Afflicted male parent” is not a prerequisite for afflicted son because it is x-linked…. There is a high chance that the inheritance for this is more complicated than I learned in high school, so I’ll take any relevant “um actually”

@baileys @SarahMackAttack In Deepstaria’s case I think the friend (wanted or unwanted) are giant anuropidae

Lmao was googling how deepstaria (a total weirdo deep sea jellyfish) eats, and google suggested I google this instead:

@baileys @SarahMackAttack Yes, they’re all friendly if that was your question, they are so friendly. I would say they are invited to the party, but I actually think that scyphozoans throw the party that all of the larval fish and crustaceans are invited to
