Wow 🤩 new bivalve transmissible cancer #TransCan study by the amazing @metzgerm.bsky.social lab on the progression of the disease over long periods. Progression to death, long-term non-progression and remission quantified. Looking forward comparing with our results in #MusselsAreCool MtrBTN #MarEvol

Scanning mussel morphology #MusselsAreCool. The attempts are not yet conclusive, but it's cool.

Hedvig contacted me one day to tell me about her project to test atlantification using genomic data (initially on #MusselsAreCool, but ultimately on barnacles). All I had to do was welcome her to my team, and she carried out this project independently until its happy end. A big congrats to her!

So long, Cornwall… until next tide! 🌊

Well done indeed Lorenzo - from #ITRS2025 to thesis viva at UAlg! thanks for the time and very insightful comments from all the jury @nschubert.bsky.social @univlille.bsky.social #marineplastic #musselsarecool

International Symposium: Advances in Marine Mussel Research The 6th International Symposium on Advances in Marine Mussel Research (AMMR2026) will take place 2–4 September 2026 at the Tjärnö Marine Laboratory on Sweden’s Bohuslän coast. This global, interdiscip...

Great news! The next #AMMR meeting on #MusselsAreCool research is now scheduled for September 2026 at the Tjärnö Marine Lab in Sweden. Save the dates! #MarEvol

Advancing responsible genomic analyses of ancient mollusc shells The analysis of the DNA entrapped in ancient shells of molluscs has the potential to shed light on the evolution and ecology of this very diverse phylum. Ancient genomics could help reconstruct the re...
