What do Hox genes and early 2000's pop punk hairstyles have in common?

To find out, come to my talk at the #EvoDevo2022 #2022SDB #PASEDBPostDoc symposium on July 20!

New work @WIRED

Scientist highlight: Carl Cotton
Taxidermy is an art of preserving & presenting biological material for study, education & outreach. It is an essential aspect of biological science and no-one knew it better than, Carl Cotton, first African-American taxidermist from Field Museum🧵

A student was asking me about the formation of dorsal fins yesterday. Today I have a nice answer for him. https://t.co/C7i0uYZ9Ao

Experiments failing? Try this for instant beautiful results ✨

A drop of 50% isopropanol w/ 1% methyl blue over a bed of sunflower oil. Evaporation of the alcohol at the edge causes a difference in surface tension, generating a flow and ejection of droplets (Marangoni effect)

For #BlackHistoryMonth I’m gong to share each day about a hero of mine. Today, it’s Ernest Everett Just. He was a gifted marine biologist whose studies on reproduction of Alitta succinea (clam worms) and Arbacia punctulata (Atlantic purple sea urchin) still fascinate me today.

[Jacob Daane @jakedaane]

We're recruiting postdocs in the Daane lab at UHouston! Many #evodevo projects available. Combine comparative genomics and zebrafish genetics to develop a unique research program. PM or email if interested. Check out our website for more info: https://t.co/ivICzgDXQY (1/3)

I wrote about fins and limbs, a topic near and dear to me, and wacky flying fish!

Big thanks 2 the fantastic team @QuantaMagazine, esp. @tvjrennie for his editorial wisdom and good judgment,

and @jakedaane @Homeobox
@skmcmena @Joost_Woltering @tetsuyanakamu for insights!

On the 400th anniversary of what is called the ‘First Thanksgiving,’ I want to highlight a project that has changed my and many other Wampanoag people’s lives

Here’s a 🧵 on how a Wampanoag woman, jessie little doe baird, brought our language back from near extinction (1/25):

N is for Neoclinus blanchardi, the sarcastic fringehead. These fish are very aggressive and territorial. They can flare out their maxillas to appear larger. Both frightening and hilarious at the same time

Happy Halloween! #FishABC #ScanAllFishes

Never forget, E is for Epibulus insidiator! Back in 1862 Bleeker called it “the parrot wrasse with a pea shooter”. #FishABC
