So where on my CV does “ Can write legible letters & numbers in size 2 font on 1.5 ml tubes “ go? Because this is truly a form of art.

CT scanning Moray eels today! A species of fish infamous for their extendable pharyngeal jaws and many, many vertebrae.

@entobip Being in NOLA now we get a lot of pipefish that are the stretched-out cousins. Very fun to see 10/10!

Seahorses can be found in shallow water grass beds in the Chesapeake Bay Area. Fun fact, the MALES carry the eggs in their brood pouch and release 100-300 tiny fully formed sea horses after the fertilization/incubation period.

Hey, folks! Just found out that there were #sharks in the #HudsonRiver! This one was caught yesterday near 125th street 😢. Dear experts, is this a smooth dogfish shark? And common in the area? #NewYorkCity #Harlem #shark @gothamwhale @MA_Sharks @SharkAdvocates

The ENO double-nest was made for one person plus one large pit that thinks he is a lap dog… Change my mind.

🚨Invasive species alert 🚨
Rio Grande Cichlids have quickly spread through the New Orleans area and threaten to displace native species. If caught, it is illegal to throw them back or keep them alive. Means of introduction are most likely aquarium trade and fish farm escapees.

This rat snake got itself a mouse...and the trap it was caught in. The nice folks at Stahl Exotic Animal Veterinary Services helped it out.

Badlowski looks at the effect of chronic noise exposure on a chatty fish…the Atlantic Croaker. Auditory evoked potentials used to measure hearing. Sensory hair cells stained and visualized. Fish made to listen to ferries are hard of hearing.

Not even the impressively elusive horse fly determined to attack my legs could ruin this fantastic day at Clark Creek.

@SwflTurtle How could I forget about the subtle hints of terrapin 😂

As a microbiologist, I’m just letting you know you should always flush with the toilet seat closed.

Zaila Avant-garde, a 14-year-old from New Orleans, just won the 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee after correctly spelling murraya — a type of tree — to clinch the championship.

She's the first African American student to win the National Spelling Bee. https://t.co/kDlZ0swEU1

Kids are cool too. Among other mysteries, we are trying to figure out why (and how) temperature determines if alligator embryos develop as male or female. One aspect of this work I really appreciate is getting to see just how variable egg shape and size really are. #twins
