Gorgeous work, as always! Though it makes me feel incredibly old that Tom was an undergrad in my class the first semester I taught evo-devo... 😅

This post is unavailable.

What an incredibly cool natural experiment in symmetric growth 🍄


Great stuff! Looking forward to trying this out.

A bit overdue, but the associated manuscript for my R package GoodFibes is now published in @iobopen. Paper includes lots of tips on setting up an analysis and some sample code/visualizations. #diceCT #SICB academic.oup.com/iob/article/5/…



Yes yes more F2s please


Looks great. Can’t wait to read. Smells like flexible stem evolution?

Also an outstanding question for an OEB/EEB qualification exam 🤔

I have my own opinions on this but I’m curious about how representative they are. Biological species are:

Game changer. Excited to see what comes from this toolkit!

So excited to share some of the work I got to be a part of at @MBLScience. Out now in @CurrentBiology : authors.elsevier.com/c/1hHXf_LsQSPr…

How to turn scales into feathers (Hint: Shh) Have you read this new #BehindthePaper story on the Node? @rorylcooper @LANEVOL tells us about how the project started, and the moment they saw the first feather-footed hatchling chickens: thenode.biologists.com/behind-the-pap…


Absolutely gorgeous work! And a super cool story!

This is cool af. Congratulations to the authors.

Chromatin 🤝EvoDevo and explains how skates evolved their wings 🧚 I am so thrilled about the publication of our little skate paper, a big collaborative effort with @tetsuyanakamu @Dariloops @rdacemel @jjtenagu @DanRokhsar and the late @jlgomska ⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4158…



Too many cool papers! It’s increasingly difficult to do right by the field in the classroom when I only have one semester to teach evo-devo...

Ever wonder how one lineage of sharks developed a greatly flattened body plan? Marlétaz used genomics and developmental biology to address this classic evo-devo problem! @EvoDevoPanAm @evodevo_papers #skategenome



Bringing together geometric morphometrics and cell biology to characterize the crocc2 mutant at multiple levels — this one was a lot of fun!!

Our new paper, looking into the developmental role of crocc2, is now available online. We sincerely hope that you all enjoy it as much as we enjoyed writing and putting it all together. anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dv… @craig_albertson, + Mary Packard + Emily Tetrault

Thanks Kory! Here ya go. A gem from @heatheraj80 and @Benedikt_H. Not so much referenced in regular conversation, but I've used fig1 in like every talk I've given over the past 12 years! #therealepigenetics onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bi…

Does anyone else have an all-time favorite paper? Like you reference it in regular conversation frequently? This is my favorite, from the title to the topic, this changed the game for me. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10…



Rare and weird! It was a pleasure working with you all 🙂🐠👃
