In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we present The Atlas of Inspiring Hispanic/Latinx Scientists. This resource showcases the scientific excellence of nearly 400 outstanding scientists. #LatinxAtlas #HispanicHeritageMonth https://t.co/f9VAR8mJoK

A couple of months ago, @PLwigale and I celebrated our promotions with the Biosciences department @RiceNatSci. Two promotions for #devbio @RiceUniversity! The #devbio community is growing at Rice, and we now have a monthly SuperGroup meeting. Good times!

What if you could deliver molecular tools directly into oocytes without microinjection? In our new paper, online today @Dev_journal ( https://t.co/ryxCG1MVKy), we introduce VitelloTag, a new cargo delivery tool to enable injection-free genome editing. 👇Read on for a short 🧵

Check out my bro! He and his lab just published this rad story in @ScienceMagazine looking at evolution in a long term barley experiment starting in 1929! It is beautiful work.

When I left this platform for a bit, I missed getting all of the papers, so I hypocritically reactivated my account. Since then I’ve mostly been a bench warmer here, but today I want to share some things from lab that we’ve been working on🧵

Excited to see our work, biolord, for disentanglement of single-cell data, out in @NatureBiotech ! 🪢 https://t.co/rHlAtPLgqv. Eager to disentangle your data with biolord? check out: https://t.co/RA9koVW60t. W/ @NivCohenHuji, @YHoshen, & @mor_nitzan. Cover art by Reo F.

Excited to share our latest preprint on the stony coral Astrangia poculata! We present a suite of tools to manipulate gene function including gene knock-in positioning Astrangia as a powerful model for coral development and evolution. More here 👇: https://t.co/OGXGOSLJgY

Check out our new paper on Drosophila eye development. In it we show that the Polycomb repressor safeguards imaginal disc specification by controlling the Vestigial–Scalloped complex. In its absence, the fly eye develops into a wing. Hope you like it! https://t.co/1Tz1BAjo1D

In case you missed it, the lab's first #cnidarian paper studying #opsin evolution in the sea anemone #Nematostella vectensis is out! Check it out in EvoDevo! Congrats Kyle and the whole team! #Evodevo #sensorybiology #evolution https://t.co/ZYcGU27PF3

Eye-specific detection and a multi-eye integration model of biological motion perception https://t.co/eTOCuPkYL4 #bioRxiv

This was an awesome collaboration with @BabonisLeslie and the Martindale lab. We are so grateful for your help. Great job Kyle and the rest of the lab! Check it out!

Stella don't have eyes, but they do have a ridiculous number of #opsins. This story includes phylogenetics, sequence & synteny analysis, as well as gene expression studies to better understand the evolution of anthazoan opsins and begin to figure out what they may be doing.

Hey folks! We have a preprint out! Former postdoc Kyle McCulloch led a deep dive into the evolution of opsin proteins in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. #EvolutionaryStudies #phylogenetics #cnidaria #opsins

Fifty-two amazing scientists talked about Science & #Juneteenth @CellCellPress, “Juneteenth in STEMM and the barriers to equitable science.” Check it out! 🤩

We made a book! If you like weird and wonderful invert eyes, check it out: https://t.co/cLMp1NlC9j Featuring contributions from @UCSB_OakleyLab @npicciani @plachetzki @Lauren_hSR @alexcnkingston @jeanne_serb @AndySombke @AyseYH1 @HI_PodCollector @meganlinnay @zapkapow and more

Scanning eye movements in this atlantid heteropod! These eyes point forward, and left and right eye movements are linked.

Very excited to share our new preprint on visual processing in the octopus! Led by Judit Pungor @traceofpink, together with @jsongco_ and @climbing_octo, we measured the functional organization of visual responses in the octopus brain. 🐙👁️ https://t.co/J99W57NoOl 1/n

How does a cell become photoreceptor, and how do photoreceptors wire up with the retina and the brain? New BBI-BIOL hire Juan Angueyra employs genetic tools to answer these questions, tracking the development of retinal cells from their earliest moments. https://t.co/U52hXcvlmA
