Not that this is gold standard but these scientometric analyses are indeed motivating, and at a small University with <50 faculty members, seeing 5 of us represented is indeed a reflection of the impactful work we do in fisheries, ocean + allied sciences both locally & globally!

Been a great month for our fish taxonomy work with three manuscripts describing four new species submitted, and the description of a cool little fish accepted ! ๐๐๐๐๐
