PhD is done, baby#2 is not a baby anymore and still reworking some ancient data. Been a wild couple of years but still working on this manuscript with a couple of others submitted and many more projects underway!

[Kevin Duclos @KevinKDuclos]

Things I'm genuinely excited about in 2021:
- baby#2 on the way
- actually finishing my PhD 🤞
- submitting an ancient manuscript 🤞
- being co-applicant on a grant for an awesome teaching development project!
Pinning this for reference, will update on progress as things happen!

@adhdjesse Genuinely the situation I’ve been in since fall where its been paralysis, exhaustion and depression.

Pretty strong evidence of negative mental health effects of doing a PhD.

@Aus10Ash See, never happened to me

[Dr. Jonathan Huie @jmhuiee]

Finishing my PhD and looking for a postdoc for summer/fall 2025! I do functional morphology, biomechanics, kinematics, phylo comp methods, CT scanning, R and python coding and more! I like fish & herps but open to system!

If you have funding or know of opportunities, let me know

Professor Matt Friedman and PhD student Rodrigo Figueroa discovered possibly the world's oldest fish brain in a fossil, revealing new insights into brain evolution. You can read about it in the LSA Magazine Spring 2024 edition at the link below!

@DevonESawa Always added sriracha actually

@Aus10Ash Don’t forget regional varieties and how Kanto and Alola Pokemons have different phenotypes for instance.

[Journal of Experimental Biology @J_Exp_Biol]

In her ECR Spotlight, Adèle Léger talks about how a class at the Université de Moncton first piqued her interest in biology, that science doesn’t always go as planned, what she enjoys most about research & her passion for knitting

@Aus10Ash But also the onix to steelix evo is weird… biomineralizing metal while recovering neotenic features?

[Kevin Duclos @KevinKDuclos]

@Aus10Ash Not only do I wanna hear it, I might just start a riot if you don’t make this happen ><!!!

Posted it twice… let’s make it thrice ;). Come read about some whacky fishes. Although Zeiformes may only be half a weird as Siluriformes, they are highly diverse and we still know very little about their evolutionary history and ecomorphology.
