@thoughtsofaphd Hi all! 👋 I'm Eleanor, a first year #PhD student at @PlymUni and @thembauk, studying the function of the sensory apical organ in #cnidarians. Out of hours you'll find me writing #scicomm, knitting, playing instruments and practicing photography 🎶📸

📝 The absence of apical organ structures in some marine invertebrates has raised questions about its evolutionary origin. PhD Student, Eleanor Gilbert, & researchers from the MBA recently led a study to investigate the origin & find out why. Read here ➡️ https://t.co/Fb7Jp7OJNZ

✨New paper alert✨ Check out our latest paper, where we look at apical organ gene regulatory networks and the origin of the apical tuft in cnidarians. Just published in @MolBioEvol: https://t.co/sFqLrlqChg

We are thrilled that our preprint has undergone a metamorphosis and settled as a peer-reviewed article in MBE https://t.co/0s3ru0l3go. Please check out the original preprint thread that summarizes the insights from our study👇 @thembauk @EleJaneMBO @AquariumCurator
Did you know that some cnidarian larvae such as sea anemones have a long ciliary tuft in their apical domain, while others like stony corals and medusozoans do not have this feature? Our preprint uncoveres the origins of the apical ciliary tuft in Cnidaria https://t.co/OxFp5pPnEe

Some really interesting answers from @coddiepoc in this viva Q&A! #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #phdchat #phdlife
Calling all PhD students! Have you ever wondered what the viva voce, and the lead up to it, are like? We asked @coddiepoc, previous ARIES PhD student and now postdoctoral researcher at @thembauk, about her experience. Read it below 👇 https://t.co/jZJO5lksTR

Very proud to have presented at the iconic #BasalMeatzoansWorkshop meeting in #Tutzing2023! It was great to meet new and old colleagues, and see some amazing science going on in the community! I promise I wasn't trying to hide behind my laptop... 🤨

Excited to see our work out there! I'll be presenting these results in just a few days time at the #BasalMetazoanWorkshop in Tutzing!

Latest preprint from our lab: How does a marine larva with a very small nervous system (~230 neurons) sense different types of natural and anthropogenic cues? How does it use this information to build a representation of the oceanic environment? https://t.co/eZECF10wqO 1/2

Happy #phycologyfriday & #fishfriday!🌱🐟 I've been enjoying analysing the fish survey footage from Cornish seaweed & mussel farms from last summer Using pelagic BRUVs we've seen shoals of lesser sand eels, greater sand eels, mullet, pollock & many juveniles in the farms👩🌾📷

What an achievement, congratulations! 🥳
So proud that my first ever article has been published! Based on the data from my undergraduate dissertation, the article examines 4388 papers across three #conservation journals across 2010-2019 for research biases and authorship representation. https://t.co/BjQcKQGpeK

NEW PAPER ALERT 🚨 (the first from my PhD and my first 1st author!) 📖 Or 💻? We compared data from online repositories and the literature to see whether differences in invasion history between the two impact our assessments of invasion dynamics https://t.co/4Z3xBoxH4P
