Today's #Nudivember is a swimming Melibe. I haven't seen this species swim, but I have seen our local ones and they're extremely silly swimmers. They swim exactly how you'd expect a slug would swim, flailing about in a way that could never be described as graceful.

Help, #MicroSky! We bought the Ausubel PA14NR transposon library, but half of the stock plates disappeared from a shared -80 and we've been unable to trace them 😭 Would anyone in the UK be willing to give us copies of these stocks please? I can supply proof purchase. And my eternal thanks.
