Tiny creature gorges, gets fat, and locks up planet-warming carbon
Scientists find out how the epic deep sea migration of a tiny animal is storing planet-warming carbon.

Today I had a productive day because I managed to trim my metabarcoding sequences and solved a problem I was stuck on. I know it’s kind of an easy part and maybe funny to you, but I’m really proud of myself! 😆😆😆

The only joy I have these days is walking this lizard through the pages of a book. For hours, the lizard and I walk and walk until we lose ourselves in the crowd of pages.

First time working with metabarcoding—curious, confused, and stressed about doing it right.
But in the end, I find eDNA and metabarcoding to be truly fascinating worlds—ones you can just keep swimming in.

Charles Darwin is best known for his work on evolution.
But he was a prolific scientist who studied much more. Now, over 20,000 of Darwin's letters, books and publications have been recognised as a UNESCO heritage.

Can you feel the freedom of spring?
The wind gently passing through your hair,
The first blossom unfurling in the light—
A moment of release, yet born of pain.

I'm working on the functional diversity of zooplankton. I feel it's not accurate because results depend on the traits we choose,which can be subjective. I wonder if there’s an issue with functional diversity, or am I just at the beginning and haven’t grasped it yet? #Zooplankton #FunctionalDiversity

[New Paper] is on the COVER of @science.org !!
FIRST genome-phylogeny of MOLLUSCS (snails, clams, octopus, etc.) complete with ALL classes —incl. the mythical "living fossil" Monoplacophora— reveals how they evolved the most diverse body forms of all animals!

I was thinking about language extinction and its importance. Turns out, just like functional richness in ecology, linguistics has a similar concept. Fascinating!

Understanding the various indices in functional diversity is a bit tricky, and the more I read, the more confused I get 😄

Many people ask why I don’t abandon my project when funding is not provided along the way, but I feel like my research project is like a child that I need to protect and help grow, even in difficult times.
