Congratulations to our 2026 PhD Graduates! #commencement2026
Study from MCZ & @harvardoeb.bsky.social reveals surprising totipotency in early worm embryos, going against previous assumptions that because individual cells at this stage have different roles, removing or rearranging them would prevent growth of a complete organism. @currentbiology.bsky.social
Harvard students traveled to the Florida Keys over spring break for the @harvardoeb.bsky.social course Biology and Evolution of Invertebrate Animals, looking for creatures like this sea slug.
The MCZ funds spring break trips for many OEB courses, adding a meaningful field component to classwork.
New study by Postdoc Rodrigo & Prof. Stephanie Pierce reveals surprising secrets of fishes brains!

Meet Megachelicerax cousteaui, a 500myo sea predator that just rewrote the evolutionary history of chelicerates by 20 million years! New study in @nature.com by @cambrianlife.bsky.social Dr. Rudy Lerosey-Aubril and Prof. Javier Ortega-Hernandez
An exciting new study in PNAS led by postdoc Andrea Unzueta Martinez and Prof. @pgirguis.bsky.social lab shows that oysters coordinate with microbes living inside of them to build their hard shells! A game changer for understanding ocean resilience as waters become more acidic from #climatechange
