The rampant violations of academic freedom and intrusions on extramural speech are escalating rapidly. Faculty members have the right to speak or write as citizens, free from institutional censorship or discipline. Expression of opinion as a citizen does not constitute grounds for dismissal.

Attention students: the deadline for our fall collections study award coming up soon! Use the funds to come out and use our LACM specimens for your research.

Need some motiv-ocean to leap into the weekend? 🐟 Leaping blennies are amazing amphibious fish who can launch themselves off rocks and into the air up to 50 times their body length. 🌊 These extraordinary terrestrial fish shore do know how to make a splash, both in and outside the water!

Do you like cichlids? Fossils? Fossil cichlids? Would you like to study them as part of a graduate degree at the University of Michigan, joining an NSF-funded project? Get in touch.

New paper is officially out! Ratfish have a second jaw on their foreheads - CT + histology show they’re real teeth, built from the same tissues and signals as oral teeth. www.washington.edu/news/2025/09...

The Roadless Rule has protected roadless forests since 2001, keeping them free from logging, road-building, and other industrial development. Now the Trump administration wants to strip protections from 45 million of those acres. Please add your voice to oppose this plan: biodiv.us/4ngK1vC

Trump is trying to repeal a roadless rule that prevents loggers from denuding National Parks—something they just announced and which public only has a few weeks to speak against insideclimatenews.org/news/3008202...

I'm recruiting a PhD student to join the lab at @gtsciences.bsky.social in Fall 2026! Broad taxonomic and topical freedom under the umbrella of vertebrate joint form and function. Information here: www.manafzadeh.com – please share 🦴🩻

Researchers have filmed thousands of climbing catfish scaling waterfalls, providing a rare insight into the daring migration of an enigmatic fish. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4lDlFux

Excited to announce that the 1st paper from my postdoc is now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social ! Using a large dataset of 3D preserved fossils, we explore the diversification of jaws in early bony fishes. 1/15 www.cell.com/current-biol...

Would like similar info about whether the NSF PRFB will run again

This is fantastic integrative biology! Check it out!

Chameleons & salamanders evolved a sliding-based linear actuator to launch the tongue via muscular squeezing of a tapered skeletal rod, contrasting with tendon-driven pulling mechanisms common in most musculoskeletal systems, allowing acceleration along a straight path. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Excited to share the first paper from my PhD! We looked at what traits help Aneides salamanders excel at climbing using museum specimens, CT scans, SEM, and more! No claws or toe pads, so how do they do it? In short, with long limbs, big feet and grippy toes! 🦎🧪 DM for PDF doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

I am recruiting graduate students to begin August 2026. Apply by Nov 15th!

Tadpoles have...TEETH?! An evolutionary novelty of anuran tadpoles, the taxonomic distribution of keratinized labial teeth remains a mystery. Yet here, variation in row number was studied in a phylogenetic context! If you're bitten by a tadpole do you turn into a frog..? 🌍🧪👇

I finally did it. My first chapter is FINALLY written and out for all to see. If you’ve attended my talks you 100% know what this is about. If you haven’t attended my talks, shark nostrils are more interesting than we thought. Enjoy! academic.oup.com/icb/advance-...
