The fsbi is amazing,working tirelessly for its members, fish, fishers and for #FishSci in general. I love being part of the team. I will also say that after an intense meeting discussing 27 different reports and topics, the "After 8 game" really lightened the mood 🤣

Feeling emosh saying goodbye to the unimitable Tracy Lawson. She's been the most fantastic and inspirational colleague. Glad we keep you a bit but we're sure going to miss having you around as much 🥰💙

So proud of Felix Astejada for defending his MSD thesis today about #cuttlefish beak vs eye lens C and N #isotopes. Big thanks to John Pinnegar and Prof Tom Cameron for being wonderful examiners and to Rui Vieira, Eoin O'Gorman and Vlad for being ace cosupervisors. What a journey!

My first first-author paper is out! Did you know eye lenses grow in layers throughout life? They can reveal movement and foraging ecology. However, here we show not all fish have the same molecular composition in their lenses—especially sharks! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Such a cool study by Jon Kuntz, PhD 🦈 AND stunning visuals too. Anyone interested in #sharks, #isotopes and/or eye #lenses should take a look 👇👇👇
