Day 30 - Dream. The final day of #sciartseptember. My long-term dream has always been to create a series of illustrated guides that would help identify the various jellies and jellyfish of the would. Creating illustrations like the ones below to accurately ID species.

Can a comb jelly choose whether to reproduce as a larva or grow up first? 🪼 Our new preprint shows that in Mnemiopsis leidyi, this depends on the density of other comb jellies. A story of surprising developmental plasticity! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧵 1/4 📸 @beziostudio.bsky.social

From bioRxiv to PNAS! 🎉 Very happy to see our paper “Diversity and spatial segregation of TRP channels in the closest relatives of animals” now published in @pnas.org. Another piece in the puzzle of how animal cell signalling evolved. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I'm excited to share our new preprint: Generation of a transgenic cephalopod tinyurl.com/pc86jxz8 Cephalopods (cuttlefish, octopus & squid) are crazy critters that dynamically camouflage to their surroundings by changing the color, pattern, & texture of their skin, which they control w their brain.
