Our culture of Pardosa is beginning! 🕷️
This mother wolf spider has really put in some work, she has carried this cocoon for several weeks and will now carry her spiderlings on her back until they are ready to disperse!
Is it weird that I am proud of her?! 🕷️

Our highly interdisciplinary meeting covering various aspects of invertebrate eyes came to an end this afternoon. Thanks a lot for all your beautiful contributions and lively discussions! To be repeated! #InvertEyeGoe23

#Dros23 Excited to be in Chicago (jet lag aside), and even more excited to hear about the latest research within the fly community! Also - will be giving a talk Friday morning at the Evolution II session, be ready for male genitalia galore. See you all soon!

Do you like eyes? Do you prefer your animals without bones? Come and hang out with us in Göttingen! @PosnienLab @McGregorLab and @maikekittelmann are hosting 2 days of vision-related fun! 🥳🦂🪱🪳✨🐌👀🕷️🦞💃🦑🎉🦪🪰
Register by 20 Feb for an absolute bargain (incl. Dinner!) 💪
Only six days left to register! Join us @uniGoettingen to discuss your work on #invertebrate #eyes. Options for talks and flash talks. Register and submit an abstract until Feb 20: posnien-lab.net/eye-meeting/
Check out my new paper for insights into Ubx regulation! Big thanks to co-authors @McGregorLab and @SebKittelmann #drosophila #ubXratedcontent

Great News! We (@SebKittelmann , Jack Sunter and myself) have been awarded a BBSRC BBRF grant to tag every transcription factor in the Drosophila genome endogenously with an exchangeable tag in a collaboration between @Brookes_CFG and @OBBU_microscopy at @obu_bms @oxford_brookes

Looking forward to presenting at #YEN2022
Finally, in our third session we will hear the work by @MargaAlbu @gattoni_giacomo @GraceBlakeley3 @YuchuanMiao about cell elongation in the atrium 🫀, neurogenesis in amphioxus 🧠, segmentation in spiders 🕷️and human somitogenesis using stem cell based models

A few days late, but PhD viva is complete, Dr Dellar is here! Despite the nerves, Thanks to Clive Wilson and @Dr_Stuart_Hunt for all their questions: despite the nerves I just about enjoyed it! 🎉🎉
Its been a pleasure to be a part of this collaboration!! Take a look for insights into the genetic basis for eye size difference in Drosophila species!
Slow cooking and long journey for our latest work on differences in eye size between Drosophila sps. Great collaborative work with @McGregorLab, @PosnienLab & @Nunes_lab #evodevo #evolution @sesbe_org @SEBiolDev 1/8

Please retweet: Our lab at @oxford_brookes @obu_bms is recruiting two postdocs! Come join us if you are interested in using scRNA-seq to study stem cells and evolution. We are looking for one experimental and one computational researcher. See thread for details:

I wrote an R package that allows to make queries to ggplot in natural language. It's like saying "Alexa, rotate the x-axis labels." Here are a few working examples: github.com/brandmaier/ggx
How crazy is this?
