Instagram post 2196049995053150666_1431127867 On the recent UWAB field workshop to Friday Harbor Labs, @uofwa Astrobiology postbacc Evan Davis (@astro.evan) learned two "fun facts" about dissecting crayfish: 1️⃣ Crayfish do not have a centralized nervous system; instead, they have a string of nerve bundles called ganglions, the largest of which is the "supraesophageal ganglion." 2️⃣ Any attempts to spare crayfish during dissection by destroying the supraesophageal ganglion will be unsuccessful.

Instagram post 2195299271502605099_1431127867 Science is about diving beneath the obvious 🔬 During the UWAB field workshop to Friday Harbor Labs, @uofw Astrobiology students dissected sea urchins to learn about their anatomy ✂️ Don't let their radial body plans fool you; echinoderms like urchins are the closest living relatives to chordates and therefore can shed light on the evolution of vertebrates like us 🦴 AB💜 #astrobiology #marinebiology #biology #microscope #lablife #science 📷 Jana Meixnerova
Instagram post 2180863135975349040_1431127867 Bon voyage! 🛥 During this year's UWAB field workshop, @uofwa astrobiologists sailed around the San Juan Islands to search for marine invertebrates (cousins of SpongeBob and Patrick Star!) at the bottom of the Salish Sea 🧽 By studying the range of their body plans, we can understand more about the Cambrian Explosion and how evolution shapes "ocean memory" 🌊 AB💜 #invertebrateGO #astrobiology #oceanmemory #fieldwork #science 📷 @y.c.chan_
