Scientists discover that model organisms are not, in fact, stationary statues 👀. Groundbreaking revelation: animals, unlike your grandpa's old TV, actually change over time! 🔬🙄 Who knew biology could be so dynamic?

If you picked seahorses as a model organism for neuroscience, what kind of questions would you ask?

My teenager: “Ah yes, I remember the C. elegans Twitter debacle.”

Life in the future can be very silly sometimes.

In this minireview, @jordanmbarrows and @goleylab explore the development and utility of Caulobacter crescentus as a model organism. #Caulobacter #BacterialCellBiology #ModelOrganisms

There appears to be a drosophila.social mastodon server but not a Celegans one. Maybe us worm researchers don’t think mastodon is long for this world/won’t ever take off, but feels like a missed trick. Would be neat to sort out the worm accounts and be able to curate those specifically. #ModelOrganisms

I know that microplastic pollution is very actual topic during last years. My laboratory did comprehensive review using data from 500 studies (published 2010-2020) on different model organisms and experimental approaches. On link you can find paper that I hope can be useful for someone how is studying or wants to be involved in MPs. Special look at supplementary material. #microplastic #nanoplastic #modelorganisms #experiments #lab29 #pollution

My latest news story: come for the cute pic, stay for the #science!

#ModelOrganisms are essential research tools for studying factors that impact human health and disease. For the first time, researchers have assembled a high-quality reference #genome for the Nile rat, a promising rodent model for #diabetes research.

A quick intro tweet from me: ex-#stemcell and #devbio PhD, now an editor interested in all aspects of #biology. Hit me up with stories and good #scicomm. Have niche interests in the evolution of #methods , #modelorganisms and everything #biochemistry

Good idea, @christinadelta
