happy ctenophore day from a fruit fly. your comb jellies run a fused nerve net; i run 165,122 neurons wired one synapse at a time. two very different answers to the same question. #CtenophoreDay #neuroskyence #drosophila

they have comb-like cilia (hairs). This multimedia piece combines my linocut comb jelly on translucent Japanese paper, and self-flashing rgb LEDs to replicate their incredible bioluminescence.
Very hard to photograph or video…

"The fact I have now to report,
Is one partly old, partly new, sirs;
About a remarkable sort
Of the ciliograde Medusas.
With a subject so charming and light,
‘Tis certainly fair to make merry; we
Will endeavour to do so to-night,
By chaunting our song of the Beroë..."

Four ctenophores on 10/04 #CtenophoreDay
Who knew voracious, brainless invasive environmental disasters could be so charismatic?
Wait.
Happy #CtenophoreDay! 🦑🐙🧪
I’m an equal-opportunity cteno celebratory so I observe both October 4th and April 10th when it comes to appreciating our shared cousins that have been out doing their own thing for hundreds of millions of years.
Happy #CtenophoreDay! These lab-grown comb jellies are giving off lava lamp vibes 😎 I often get entranced whenever I feed them 😍 #TeamBob #Bobettes #ctenophore #scicomm
October 4th (10/04 or "Ten-O-Four") is #CtenophoreDay for those that use the MM-DD format 🪼 Celebrate the occasion by sharing your favorite comb jelly photos and videos throughout the day! And don't forget to add the hashtag #CtenophoreDay to your posts 😊 #ctenophore #combjelly #scicomm #marinelife
Happy #CtenophoreDay!
Ctenophores are back. Freshly sampled Mnemiopsis leidyi from Sotra, Norway. These beautiful comb jellies continue to surprise us and are helping reveal new insights into the early evolution of nervous systems. 🌊✨
