"One email at a time, one informational interview after another, I became comfortable, confident, and strategic in building my network of mentors."
One mentor isn’t enough, writes @DrErikaMoore in this #ScienceWorkingLife essay from 2021. bit.ly/48iBjGZ #ScienceMagArchives
When is a species not a species... or when is a species actually more than one species? A nice study led by Remi Ketchum in our collaborator Joe Ryan's lab at the Whitney Labs answers that question with regards to species boundaries in Mnemiopsis.

BREAKING NEWS
The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
Our paper providing the first comprehensive analysis of the #Hydractinia genome is out in @genomeresearch! Our orthology analyses have revealed that there is shared ancestry with other animals in the form of a conserved toolkit for regeneration.

Thanks @NHGRI_Director for the outstanding research environment and support. Colleagues like you were key at every step to bring genomics to new areas of biomedical science 🙏
I am profoundly proud of @JulieSegre for her election to @AAAS! She has been part of the @genome_gov Intramural Research Program for ~20 years and continues to lead a highly productive research program in microbial genomics. aaas.org/news/aaas-welcomes-…
A great study on the evolution of bioluminescence by @quattrinia and @caseywdunn’s groups featured in this morning’s New York Times. A nice read while enjoying your morning coffee!

Our latest paper in @GenomeBiolEvol describes the identification of 1000s of CNEs in 51 #genomes, providing evidence that transposable elements are a major source of CNEs that may play a critical role in the evolution of regulatory potential. Check it out! doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evae052
#Ctenophores, meet #AlphaFold... using NIH's Biowulf supercomputing resource, we've just published a paper in Proteomics describing our proteome-scale structure predictions for #Mnemiopsis: 15,333 structures in 58,000 GPU hr. bit.ly/4bGQESX @nih_hpc @WileyAnalytical

An interesting study on the early #evolution of associative learning in a #cnidarian in @nytimes this week:

A really nice and accessible summary by @isabellaclsci in @preLights of what our #Hydractinia genome sequencing and analysis efforts have uncovered - especially that Hydractinia uses a shared gene toolkit found in almost all animals. Check it out!

Belated post -- our paper on the maternal-to-zygotic transition in the cnidarian #Hydractinia is on the cover of @PLOSGenetics ! With Taylor Ayers and Matt Nicotra. Thematically similar to the #MZT in many bilaterians, but...

Check my new intro piece, nature.com/articles/d41586-0… about a new study from @TheCoralReefLab. Turns out coral eat their symbionts when in a nutrient pinch. @NatureNV @OSUScience @OSUIB
