Who else is excited for EvoDevo at #SICB2021? Don't miss tomorrow's live events: kick off plenary from Cassandra Extavour @redmakeda, and DEDB Best Student Paper presentations chaired by @DeirdreLyonsPhD!

[realZackRoot @root_zack]

First time giving a 12 minute talk at #SICB2021, live at 12:00 MST for #DEDB! What is the connection between novel genes and novel cell types in vertebrates? Let's find out!

Cons: I don't get to go to Washington DC for this conference

Pros: The first conference I can go to in my pajamas

Things could be worse #SICB2021 #SICB

Lampreys are extant lawless vertebrates. Best typo ever😂

X-rays of fish skeletons can also be beautiful. Attached is a radiograph of the Whiskered Prowfish (Neopataecus waterhousii) to go with the cleared-and-stained prowfish that I tweeted a week ago. #fishbones

For my borrowing fish, I've chosen the lungfish, which can survive droughts by burying itself in the mud. The Australian version doesn't do that, but I think it looks cuter ;) #sundayfishsketch #sciart #graphite

For my color fish of the week, a black and white rainbow trout #sundayfishsketch #sciart #graphite

Nature: these teleosts are cool and all, but can I get anything...weirder?

Evolution: hold my beer

Do lungfish represent the evolutionary origin of the soul? Method: Looked deep into the eyes of animals. Results & Discussion: Lungfish are the only fish with a soul. Most tetrapods
(with the exception of some frogs) also have a soul. Future work: Stare at a Coelacanth.

Acanthodians: two parts chondrichthyes, one part osteichthyes, three parts derpy face #SundayFishSketch #SICB2019
