Having a blast working with these adorable lil jellybean looking sawfly embryos. I’m very lucky to be collaborating with @catherinelinnen.bsky.social who rears them in her lab!

I had the pleasure of listening to one of my favourite science communicators @edyong209.bsky.social talk about the diversity of animal senses and ponder about how they perceive the world.
Highly recommend reading his book, An Immense World to dive into the vast field of sensory biology 👀
