- Very happy to see this piece on the Tunicate Ciona published. Grateful to @alexandrejan.bsky.social and @chiaracastelletti.bsky.social for the Illustrations, and to @natmethods.nature.com for the opportunity to showcase our ever emerging model organism www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- We got an unexpected visitor to the Ciona tank! Little dude has his own little container now and is doing well #nudibranch #seaslug #PIlife
- Sometimes it pays to dig through the Altmetrics of your papers! My rendered image of migrating trunk ventral cells from our latest paper was featured by @bpodaily.bsky.social as the image of the day and I had no idea 😂 beautiful images are what we're all about! 🧪🔬
- Transcriptome maturation just before multipotent cardiopharyngeal progenitors divide confers their distinct fates – sea squirt study reveals 📷 Yelena Y Bernadskaya, Ariel Kuan, Andreas Tjärnberg, Wei Wang et al @nyu.edu in @embojournal.org ➡️ bpod.org.uk/archive/2025...
- The guests of honor have arrived! It feels like a functional lab now. Don't worry, they're getting plenty of light, it's my phone that's too dark 😁 #cionarobusta #newpi #lablife
- Our latest on how cells get ready for fate transition! @noahbruderer.bsky.social @margauxfailla.bsky.social @lionlchristiaen.bsky.social Cell cycle-driven transcriptome maturation confers multilineage competence to cardiopharyngeal progenitors www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....
- When your tank arrives, your electroporator order goes through, and the business office says you're good to place your first #ciona order:
- Fascinating talk today by @danielkronauer.bsky.social about a novel mechanism for odorant neuron fate acquisition in ants, thanks for visiting us here in @umassamherst.bsky.social ! www.cell.com/current-biol...
- The Bernadskaya Lab is officially open for business today in beautiful UMass-Amherst! We'll be looking for postdocs, grad students, and a full-time tech. If you love dev bio, morphogenesis, and microscopy this just might be the place for you!
