Going to play a new game called #whatsforlunch. Often times there’s an extra surprise when CT scanning fish. An undergrad in the lab found a hitchhiker in the belly of this one. Help me ID the eater and the eaten. #ScanAllFishes #oVertTCN

Adaptation in action. Look closely... that is not a spider. 🐍 The spider-tailed horned viper was only discovered recently and has been seen in Western Iran. #SevenWorldsOnePlanet

Check out some cool new research on the genomics of tuatara vision from my advisor Ryan Schott 👀🤯 Tuataras (Sphenodon punctatus) appear superficially like lizards but are actually the only living member of the order Rhynchocephalia, which is sister to the order Squamata (🦎&🐍)

(SOUND ON!) If you are interested in the soundtrack for 2020, look no further than a baby Yellow-billed Cuckoo! You can find this species in open woodlands across the state of Georgia. This video was provided by dedicated songbird rehabilitator, Nancy!

Just found out I was awarded the David and Marvalee Wake Award for Best Student Talk by SICB Phylogenetics and Comparative Biology at #SICB2021 !!! It was an honor to be considered alongside so many talented student researchers! Here's a screenshot from my title slide featuring some gorgeous frog eyes🐸👀

Our paper led by Katie Thomas 🦑 & Rayna Bell investigating evolution of the diverse pupil shapes of amphibians is out in Biological Journal of the Linnean Society. We found pupil shape to be evolutionarily labile & that circular pupils are linked to fossorial and aquatic lifestyles🐸academic.oup.com/biolinnean/adv…

New research on frog vision out today in Royal Society Publishing! We used CT scanning to show that lens shape changes across metamorphosis and differs in species with different lifestyles. Led by exceptional student Amartya Tashi Mitra 🐸👀 doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…
