Very exciting!
Had a great time messing with microscopes and sea anemones with @micro-megs.bsky.social this week

@mingpapilio.bsky.social shaking up evolutionary theory at #eseb2025
Models linking species diversity with ecological stability may not be as straightforward as we thought! Amazing talk
📢#TMHMS25 is just around the corner! 🦠🌊
Join us to dive into the latest discoveries in #marinehostmicrobesymbioses and explore how microbial superpowers can contribute to restoring ocean health!
Please share with fellow marine science and microbiology enthusiasts!

Spent the week in Cambridge with @benkinsjenkins.bsky.social testing this custom made microscope to live image Aiptasia larvae. Got some cool videos that we hope to share very soon! Thanks for hosting me Ben!
To increase the use of gene editing in corals, we have made a comprehensive methods paper describing the protocol. We hope this helps the field of functional genetics in corals. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
🪸🌊 Hidden coral cities!
Scientists just found ancient “super reefs” in the Maldives’ twilight zone, thriving reefs that may help restore shallow corals threatened by climate change.

A sea anemone looks very different from a coral, despite belonging to the same broad biological group.
A new study from EMBL researchers and their colleagues sheds new light on how diversity arises in body shapes in the animal world.

In this protocol, the authors present straightforward and efficient methods to genetically modify corals and study gene function throughout various life-history stages using CRISPR–Cas9-based mutagene...
