Here is my #introduction. I am a biologist interested in #neuroscience and the #evolution of cells and nervous systems. My research group studies #ciliated marine larvae from a whole-organism perspective, combining behaviour, #connectomics, #imaging, #CRISPR, #modelling and other approaches. We love marine #larvae, their #neurons, #cilia, and #neuropeptides.
Cat HicksAs usual Ed Yong is perhaps the only scicom journalist bringing a true patient-centered perspective to this writing. Please share -- these symptoms aren't mine but they are so wildly debilitating and happening to so many in our community. And our healthcare system and doctors are failing those of us with #LongCovid and #MECFS

Philipp BayerVery cool new #seagrass paper!
Ocean current patterns drive the worldwide colonization of eelgrass (Zostera marina)

Beautiful work using time-calibrated phylogenies for colonization events
Ocean current patterns drive the worldwide colonization of eelgrass (Zostera marina) - Nature Plants
Ocean currents play a crucial role in the distribution of marine coastal species. Here the nuclear and chloroplast genomes of this eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) is used to trace its colonization history from its origin in the Northwest Pacific.

Wormlike animals are first amphibians shown to pass microbes to their offspring
Caecilians are an elusive type of amphibian that primarily live underground and look like a cross between a worm and a snake. One of the few things that is known about caecilians is their unique method for feeding their young. Mothers produce a special layer of fatty skin tissue, which juvenile caecilians tear off with baby teeth that evolved specifically for that purpose.

Done with a large collection of colleagues across the world based on data from a DOE-JGI grant we (myself and many others) got a few years ago to resequence the genome of samples of Zostera marina from around the world.
