For World Jellyfish Day I am sharing self-taught trail-blazing Irish #marineBiologist Maude Delap (1866 – 1953), 1st to successfully breed jellyfish in captivity & document their full lifecycle. She is surrounded by blue #jellyfish (Cyanea lamarckii) life stages based on her diagrams. Born 7th of 10 kids to Rev Alexander & Anna Jane Delap in County Donegal, her family to Valentia Island when she was 8. Sisters Maude & Constance were encouraged in their interest in #biology & #zoology by their 🧵

I'm pretty sure Cherizilla's toots about jellyfish biology are going to prove to be way more interesting than The Sting of Death. #Monsterdon #jellyfish @cherizilla@retro.pizza

Two things I try to avoid are jellyfish🪼 parasite 🪱. Naturally, jellyfish have their own parasites (for maximum creepiness). But the thing is, those parasites don't stay in the jellyfish; they are just a step in their life cycle. 🧪🌊 Link: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.07.29.741456v1#Ocean #Jellyfish #Parasites

Problem: the pockets have ripped out on your lab coat. Me (boring, lazy): Safety pins! My student (creative, motivated): Sew it up and add awesome embroidery! #lablife #chemistry #craft #sewing #embroidery #jellyfish
