Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.
I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.
Come inject a spider with me!
The aim is to knockdown a target gene by introducing dsRNA to adult females to see any developmental defects in her embryos 🥚🕷️
No animals were harmed unnecessarily 💚

The second paper from my PhD is now published and available to read! 🥳
Huge thanks to Javi and Beñat for doing those all important final experiments, and to @mcgregorlab.bsky.social and @nuneslab.bsky.social for the continuous support and trust to let me pursue this "side project".
Got stripes?

Find a cuter “EvoDevo” sticker… I’ll wait ;)

WHAT. Ecuador's government recently authorized a U.S. military base on the Galápagos Islands. NO. No no no no no no noooooooo NO 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The lab is delighted to release the first genome for the giant American vinegaroon! The slowly-evolving order Uropygi captures the strongest signature yet of the arachnopulmonate whole genome duplication. #biodiversity #genomics

New preprint from our lab. Great work by @maaseremedios.bsky.social in collaboration with Ralf Janssen looking at gene regulation and expression after whole genome duplication by comparing a spider and harvestman:

Yes!!! Its expression is very cool! We’ll keep you posted😻
Come look at some cute spider embryos with stunning 🧬expression with me!
This gene is very exciting, and will be a major part of my PhD research! Watch this space for new updates🔬
