✨Our ocean is filled with beautiful microscopic marine organisms that look like stars in the night sky. Thanks to our amazing community for a year filled with inspiration and collaboration. 🙏 Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season and a happy New Year! 📸 Anne aasjord Universitetet i Bergen

We had a wonderful crowd at Ocean Science Bar last night listening to Ruth Styfhals and Alexandre Jan present the beauty of the #ctenophore or 'comb jellies' and how the very first nervous system evolved! Thanks to Statsraaden Bar and all those who came to be with us.🙏 Universitetet i Bergen

What a fantastic group of scientists I had the pleasure to meet and learn from yesterday Michael Sars Centre ! It was exciting to hear about their curiosity-driven science on aquatic life, which touched upon everything from deep evolution to the latest biochemistry and neuroscience.

Such an honor to host Shannon Olsson for the first Guest Seminar of the year at the Michael Sars Centre. Learnt how to think like a fly, how to listen to nature and society, and lots more! Thanks for your valuable time, a fantastic talk and the stimulating conversations.

📢 Registration is open!! We are thrilled to announce registration for the 'Nordic Developmental Biology Societies & Michael Sars Symposium Joint Meeting' on May 28-31, 2024 is open! Organized in collaboration with Swedish Developmental Biology Organization SWEDBO & FSDB Universitetet i Bergen ✨REGISTER HERE ➡️ tinyurl.com/NDEVMSS24

A 🧵: 1/ Happy #FluorescenceFriday. I was looking through my old data and came across some videos I took 7 years ago of some transformed melanocytes (aka melanoma-liked). This cell here is so branchy yet when it divides, only its body splits, not the dendrites.

First ever study on calcium imaging in choanos, and first ever recording of the bacterial-shedding behavior, which is seen even in colonies! 🤩✨ Congratulations to my dear colleague Jeffrey Colgren and to Pawel Burkhardt for the amazing preprint!

Super-happy & proud that our paper on the cellular basis of sea anemone growth & shrinkage has found a nice place Development ! tinyurl.com/bdzdwu82 Together with Kathrin Garschall Eudald Pascual Belén García Pascual Guse Lab Iain Johnston & Daria Filimonova. Michael Sars Centre RealfagUiB

Pleased to share that our contribution for a collaborative study led by Prof. Eugen Kerkhoff is out! If you’re interested in the evolution of SPIRE and actomyosin transport of exocytic vesicles, go check it out 🤩. Thrilled to have been a part of this research! 👏🏼
