#Planaria are freshwater #flatworms that have become a key model for studying #regeneration and #stem #cells, as they can regenerate any part of the body, even the head. But how does the animal know what part of its body is missing and what kind of tissue it needs to #regenerate?

The fact that this 'discovery' has been ignored means that it has gotten uncritically picked up by several online databases.

It will be my first time in Brazil and look forward to it and meeting new colleagues.

Hello! I am absolutely brand new here, and thought I would introduce myself!
I am in the final throes of my #PhD investigating #sleep in #platyhelminth #flatworms. I adore sleep research and I am looking for a #postdoc in #humansleep, preferably in sleep and #performance (cognitive and physical) or with #dreams. Please enjoy this photo of one of my goofy little subjects!

I am professor for Molecular Systematics at the Natural History Museum, University of Oslo with particular interest in #biodiversity and #genomics of parasitic #flatworms and #ArcticMarineMammals as well as #museomics applications. Another focus is #SpeciesCommunities and #ecosystems.
