  3. Japanese snail stretching to the limits at #UoN open day today. Species is sinistral Euhadra quaesita.

  4. Helicopter trip into West Maui mountains to collect chirally variable Lymnaeid snails 🐌, funded by BBSRC International Collaboration award with Ken Hayes and Norine Yeung at Bishop Museum, Honolulu. Think I am rocking the rebel fighters from Star Wars look?

  5. Not at #popgroup56, because needed family time prior to am heading out soon for first foreign field work since 2019. And its a good one: Hawaii working with collaborators at the Bishop Museum on chirally variable snails 🐌, funded by BBSRC. Beyond excited! Slightly cheesy 🧀 video highlights previous trip.

  6. Some six or so years since "Jeremy" aka "shellebrity snail" 🐌, I might finally have a line of left-coiling or sinistral garden snails!! Hoping these 3 virgins just emerging from hibernation, 🤞🤞will produce lefty babies. Then can finally get doing the #genomics #asymmetry #chirality #snails #cornu #leftysnail #snaillove

  7. The vast majority of #gastropod species has #dextral (right-handed) shell. #Sinistral individuals are extremely rare in snails. Here is a very nice citizen science project investigating the developmental origin of this #chirality. #science biology #ontogeny #snail #shell #citizenscience
