Today on World Wildlife Day: field science in action.
OYSTER member @himmatbakshi.bsky.social is shown here measuring, PIT-tagging, sampling, and protecting a nesting Loggerhead sea turtle in Cabo Verde.
Conservation depends on the science (& scientists!) behind it.

We are offering a fully funded two-year postdoctoral position focused on sex chromosome evolution and speciation in the *Jaera albifrons* species complex. Please find the advertisement attached. We welcome applications from interested candidates. Join us :-)
To increase the use of gene editing in corals, we have made a comprehensive methods paper describing the protocol. We hope this helps the field of functional genetics in corals. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
🚨 We're hiring!
