Ah Coralliocaris; pretty sure I posted this #shrimp last year as well, but who doesn't love these? 🦐 This is C. sandyi, named after the late Sandy Bruce - did you know these species have two pistol claws? 🔫🔫 #25shrimpsofCrustmas #Crustmas 📸: Adriano Morettin

Lecturing on color vision today. The photographer in me always has to talk about the first color photo. Produced in 1861 by Thomas Sutton for James C. Maxwell, based on the three color additive method. A tartan coloured ribbon was photographed through red, green, and blue filters

😭 Not the UC Provost claiming that postdocs and grad students are only "part-time" workers. 😭😭😭 #FairUCNow

I am so excited help ignite scientific curiosity in underserved and historically excluded communities across New England. Never in my dreams did I think a job existed where I could so seamlessly integrate my love for microscopy and invertebrates with my camp counselor energy

Scientists have discovered a new kind of synapse in the tiny hairs on the surface of neurons. New study @CellCellPress, led by the Clapham Lab & @Loom19321, finds these primary cilia could play a key role in how cells communicate long-term changes. janelia.org/news/janelia-sci…

A few years ago I got obsessed with mantis shrimp and wanted to make an origami model of one. The structure of the crease pattern (the rough layout, anyway) came to me in a dream. I woke up at 3 am, started drawing in my sketchbook and by sunrise I had the pattern ready. 😵‍💫
