L. stagnalis is one of multiple scientifically correct anatomical models of animals that @anitomical.bsky.social will launch in 2026 together with its Comparative Anatomy Application. The application offers on demand access to anatomical knowledge through 3D visualisation.

Looking forward to presenting at @eseb2025.bsky.social! I will present research on differences in responses to seminal fluid between populations of a simultaneously hermaphroditic snail. I will use @anitomical.bsky.social's model of L. stagnalis to highlight the anatomical location of the prostate

A nice piece in @advalvas.bsky.social by Welmoed Visser about #testosterone: advalvas.vu.nl/en/science-e... (also available in Dutch: advalvas.vu.nl/wetenschap-o...)

A bizarre, but pleasant effect

Men commit the vast majority of violent crimes and sexual offenses and are more often involved in traffic accidents and fireworks-related incidents. Can hormonal differences be blamed for these number...
