Can anyone guess the species? This fish lives in shallow intertidal habitats from Alaska to California and has smooth skin and a single hooked preopercular spine (as shown in the second photo). #BioVizFHL #BioViz2021

We introduced #BioVizFHL to the scanning electron microscope last week. A few highlights from the critique on Monday.

My latest scan, I love the dentary! #BioVizFHL

My latest and grooviest SEM of a juvenile bonefish (A. goreensis) scale at Friday Harbor Labs #BioVizFHL

I am excited to announce I’ll be starting my PhD in Biological Sciences under Sam Price at Clemson University this fall! I can’t wait to learn more about what fish are up to! 🐠

Hot off the press with some some exciting news! Adam P. Summers and my paper on fluorescence in Pacific Spiny Lumpsuckers is officially out! ichthyologyandherpetology.org/ihbjbb/uqi2021…

Just submitted my first, first-author manuscript! Can’t wait to share more soon!

Congrats to @combkeif_blenny for passing his PhD proposal with flying colours 🎉 Exciting 🐠 🦷 research coming soon! Thanks to his supportive and insightful committee @BioBlobs Kory Evans Ph.D. Kara Powder

New in [email protected]: Sam Price and I argue that large functional trait datasets can help us understand how biotic interactions have influenced both the assembly & evolution of #reef fish communities. 1/3 Thanks Kory Evans Ph.D. for inviting us to contribute! doi.org/10.1093/icb/ic…

Congratulations Mason Thurman on an award winning poster on his work as an undergrad and postbac

I’ve been quiet about this on here but super excited to be working on more fish shape stuff for the next 5 years in an attempt understand how phylogenetic scale influences our understanding of macroevolutionary patterns!

Interested in fluorescent fish diversity? Come check out my poster today “Illuminating the past: Repeated evolution of biofluorescence in Teleosts” #JMIH23

Today I got a letter from the provost confirming my tenure and promotion to associate professor! My lab past and present have been the best, their insights, support, hard work and exciting science made it all possible!
