Had a great time at #TIBS2026 conference. And appreciative for the award. I wish I took a more serious photo with my poster :( you can't see my themed outfit too.. I was a clown trigger-fish

Dressed as my study taxa for halloween: I was a juvinile platax (Platax orbicularis).

Emily gave a great talk for this week's departmental seminar. Got a new lab photo to mark the occasion . . .

Hot off the press is the final chapter of my dissertation now published in @pnas.org Here, I explore the genetic drivers of extreme body size reduction using goby fishes as a model. I'll write up a short summary thread later tonight... www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Congrats to Sanaa El-Sayed on her DEEP Award from the Paleontological Society!

Had a wonderful time at our first in person conference for @blackinnhms.bsky.social. Everyone had amazing stories and science to share. Our traveling exhibit will be in @amnh.org for A YEAR! Check it out and look forward to next years new location :)

Great paleo showing at today's ID Day at the U-M Museum of Natural History!
