🧬🎨 When gills do Pointillism!
For this #FluorescenceFriday,
here’s a dissected gill arch expressing nuclear fgf10b:nEOS — depth color-coded: blue for medial filaments, yellow for lateral ones.

Very excited to present on Wednesday at GSA this year on my HCR and spatial transcriptomic data for honeybees! I'm on at 12 in OGGB5 in the Sir Owen Glenn building!✨

Very excited to be speaking this week at #GSA about our current work on velvet worms! 🐛 Come along to the Sir Own Glenn Building (OGGB3) on Wednesday 9th July at 12:00PM to hear all about a gigantic genome, slime gland transcriptomics, and more!

Skin, scales, and cells in a Jurassic plesiosaur
Marx et al. report the first detailed study of fossilized plesiosaur soft tissues.
These show that plesiosaurs possessed both smooth body skin and scaly flippers.

Since we've been talking about velvet worms (Onychophora), I've been looking for references and was struck by this thought - who did it it first - nature or Disney? Art imitating nature again 🤔😀
