Love seeing tinselfish on my feed!! What funky fish :) I may also be working on a paper talking about their larvae 🤫

Nemo needs gap junctions, too. New preprint with Marleen Klann, Vincent Laudet, et al. showing anemonefish Snowflake mutant due to E42K substitution in Connexin Gja5b. Found exact same E42K in zebrafish gja5b (= leopard) by ENU, to the nucleotide! Details, inferences: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Okinawa had its hottest September at 1.6C above the average. I filmed this mass coral bleaching last year, but didn't have the heart to share. Total annihilation of the first few meters of depth. This stuff happens before our eyes, and yet people who think it isn't real keep gaining power.

There is one month left to apply for our Simons Graduate Fellowships in Ecology and Evolution! These awards provide support for students entering U.S.-based Ph.D. programs with a plan to perform research in #ecology and #evolution. www.simonsfoundation.org/grant/simons... #science

Well this is exciting! Here's an interview I did for @nature.com about #NaturesMemory - talking about how natural history #museums can help save the world, as the best evidence we have for understanding environmental change, plus colonial legacies, male bias, and more: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Happy birthday to the prophetess Octavia Butler. We live in the times she foretold. From her notebooks.

We’re happy to report that everyone is safe and that a politically motivated investigation launched by the Trump administration into an EPA grant program has collapsed without uncovering any meaningful evidence of criminality. The Trump administration tried to charge federal employees with crimes

May 17 marks IDAHOBIT - opposing discrimination while promoting diversity and inclusion. This date remembers WHO's landmark 1990 decision on homosexuality, highlighting both progress made and challenges ahead. oSTEM creates safe STEM spaces where all identities can flourish.

Having just learned that my dissertation has been accepted by Virginia Tech, I wanted to take some time to impart wisdom to current and future graduate students. So here goes, what I have learned in six years of graduate school is...

This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.

i know it's self-evident in many ways, but the role that traditional grading regimes play in this somehow feels under discussed. we can (rightfully) wax poetic about how the main point of assignments is the process of doing them, but the way we use grades often fails to reflect this

If you care about the NSF and science, now is the time to make your voice heard! The evolution tri-societies are running a Week of Action for NSF! We MUST make some noise -join us!! @sse-evolution.bsky.social members will see the below email in their inbox today, spread the word! Pls RT!

🧪 Though a doubling of NSF's budget might seem far-fetched, that's exactly what Congress said what's needed to maintain national competitiveness in science & tech. From the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act of 2022:

I received a free field guide from Sphyrnas, a queer-owned shark-themed brand, the other day! Very grateful to have been selected for one of these kits, and I'm excited to start using the equipment! 🐟🦈

Under pressure from the Trump administration, the National Science Foundation (NSF), a $9 billion agency funding scientific research that has made America great, has canceled over a thousand grants and slowed new funding. That's just the beginning and will get way worse unless Congress intervenes.
