New paper accepted - bringing "Mesozoans" back!

Oh dear, old words are coming back! A huge undertaking, led by the amazing Marie Drabkova, assessed the phylogenetic positions of dicyemids and orthonectids, and SURPRISE, they came out together. I had the pleasure of generating transcriptomes from preserved dicyemids, which looked like tiny bits of lint floating in a sea of RNALater. We guessed at which little brown shrivels were the right ones, so getting the data back was a delight after a challenging extraction!
