Recently, I had the honor to be interviewed for the Portrait of Science. It’s a beautiful project created by Magdalena Gonciarz to get to know the people who do science (aka the scientists). Check out the project’s Facebook page!
I miss blogging. I began in 2006 and did it quite actively until 2011—when my posting frequency declined. During my PhD I was still drafting several posts, but ended up only publishing a few. I missed the sharing of ideas and the open discussion that a blog post can give. And this is why I decided to write the introduction of my PhD thesis as a series of blog posts.
Now that I have defended my PhD, I’ll post some sections of the text here. The thesis is accessible at the Bergen Open Research Archive (BORA – UiB):
Vellutini, B.C., 2016. Comparative development of spiralian larvae. The University of Bergen. Available at: http://hdl.handle.net/1956/11465.
The first section is online. I’ll post the remaining in the coming weeks. Enjoy, comment, disagree, re-use, etc :)
Congratulations Andreas Hejnol for debutting as a Doktorvater (doctorfather) yesterday! It is an honor to be the first of many more to come. And thank you for being the most awesome PhD supervisor I could have ever envisioned! <3
Stumbled upon this fine depiction within past bryozoan literature: Account of an Aurora Borealis (Blackader 1827)
First day of Lightsheet Z.1 demo @Sars_Centre imaging live embryos of marine worms.
Another hunt for a historical work ended successfully at @BioDivLibrary :)
Ok, now I understand why Arduino is cool.
