I'm hiring a postdoc for a collaborative U.S. National Science Foundation & Natural Environment Research Council-supported project! Our US/UK team examines phenotypic and functional diversification in early ray-finned fishes. Work draws on 3D models of mandibles from μCT and synchrotron tomography. Ad: careers.umich.edu/job_detail/244…

For centuries, paleontologists have had to rely on intuition re whether reconstructed joint poses "look right." Today in Nature Communications: we created a way to formalize & test that intuition, & discovered that articular surface interactions distinguish locomotor poses in dinosaurs 🧵

Congratulations to our SICB Phylogenetics and Comparative Biology BSP 2024 winners Devin Mendoza (poster), Alexus Roberts Hugghis (talk) and Shih-Na Liu (talk honorable mention)

Deadline for applications for the summer fish biomechanics course is just 3 days away. If 5 weeks, 9 graduate credits, the San Juan Islands, 100's of fishes and many great instructors sounds like your thing...apply now. Financial aid and it is 1st come 1st served. pls r/t

Look! A job opportunity! I’m hiring a research technician in my lab to work on CT scanning and segmentation of birds and mammals. Apply now if you love vertebrate anatomy: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…. we’ll also be hiring a Postdoc on the project soon.

My dissertation defense (or exit seminar at UCD) is one month from today! I would love for you to join us to hear all about reef fish morphological diversity and the evolutionary routes reef fish take to reach the strangest morphologies. zoom link: ucdavis.zoom.us/j/98185054953?…

Have you ever watched a fish eat and thought, “I need to see this 1,000x more”? Well, my colleagues and I did. In a new study, we use 1,110 high-speed videos to examine diversity/evolution of prey capture in 300 cichlid species from 4 adaptive radiations journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.108…

I am OVER THE MOON that our paper is out at Am Nat today! We find phylogeny & biogeographic contingency shape functional diversity in cichlid radiations It's my first as co-first aut. & Christopher Martinez was an A+ co-lead. We had an amazing team-I am so proud of what we achieved

I'm so excited to share a bit of my story in the recent ASIH scientist spotlight! Really grateful for the opportunity to reflect on what I've accomplished, thank those who've helped me get to this point, and encourage + educate others a bit too! doi.org/10.1643/t20240…

Please share broadly!

My first video with SciShow is up NOW! So go watched me and Hank Green answer your fish questions!!
