Our latest coral CRISPR paper is out at @PNASNews. We extended our methods to study gene function in coral juveniles. We found that a hard coral-specific bicarbonate transporter is required for coral skeleton formation. https://t.co/Touec79a0L

Yesterday came the news about the decision to declare Slender-billed Curlew extinct. It's my ultimate favourite bird, so it is quite tough to face this realization. You can read more about it here: https://t.co/0b53yh9GMg... Here are some of my illusrtations and paintings.

Thrilled to share our latest work from my postdoc with @MartinLabMIT in @Dev_Cell ! We uncovered a mechanism linking DV axial patterning with AP axis extension through patterned cell-cell adhesion. Intrigued? Dive into the details here!
Online now: Postdoc Nat Clarke's @natclarke8 excellent work on a mechanism that coordinates tissue folding and axis extension. Great job and congratulations Nat!

I will miss Joe… When I overlapped with Joe at the Carnegie, he showed me a slide with what he thought may be new nuclear organelles which he was referring to at the time as coiled bodies @CarnegieDevBio @MBLScience @theNASciences @ScienceStowers
