The snails are large in London!

Lab visit to NHM London for the annual #MolluscanForum, talking science, genomics and snails. First in-person conference in years, so fun. Thanks to Malacological Society of London

@MagsJoh well done, best talk of the day and £100 in vouchers #MolluscanForum 👏🍾

Talk highlights from #MolluscanForum at NHM, London today: @YumiNakadera on genetics of a new colour variant in pond 🐌, Lymnaea stagnalis, and @ChrisDrerup on impact (or not) of caustic flicker in cuttlefish predatory behaviour.

I am Natural History Museum in London 🎉 for attending #MolluscanForum #nhm

I would post every bits of this wonderful meeting but I was quite preoccupied this morning.. got lost in this big city, and giving a 12-min talk on the spot😱 I very much appreciate sharing the exciting data of my student’s project 🐌 🌡️

One more talk to go!!!

Mid-November and there are still colour polymorphic Cepaea nemoralis (grove snail) out and active in the UK; worldwide #iNaturalist records by month on right.

#UoN #BBSRC PhD student Margarethe Johansen will present an update (based on whole genome linkage map) in our quest to identify the colour and banding loci, this Thursday at #MolluscanForum #NHMLondon. Free registration, hybrid event phyman@bas.ac.uk #Cepaea #grovesnail #Evolution #Polymorphism
