The snail kite is a medium-sized raptor known for its specialized diet. It is endangered due to habitat loss and disruption of water flow impacting its primary food source-- apple snails. But lookee there! It's holding one in its claw. 🙂

Reaffirming science night working on data analysis w 2 of my undergrads. Looks like exciting finds from #applesnails in #Belize. Excited 2 run results by @pomacea.bsky.social soon! Just a note - my current project would not be possible without what I learned from past #NSF collaboration.

"Humans carry the same developmental genes, but in mammals they’re mostly silenced after embryogenesis ends. Identifying reactivation signals may reveal molecular switches to coax human eye tissues into self-repair."

Apple snails regrow their eyes - and may help humans do the same
Apple snails can regrow their entire eyes. Scientists are now using them to uncover new ways to restore human vision.

In good science news for today, our initial sequencing of #applesnails from #Belize looks interesting. Certainly not what everyone thinks they are! Now to be more of a #Geneious and figure it all out.

Met w 1 of new #undergrads in lab Sarah to show her how to craft w #applesnails - check out these snail & Operculum earrings! Previous lab creations have included ornaments & S-car-gos! Gave her a small budget to get more supplies! #labfun #artscience #whatsnext #creativity #finalsstressrelease
