I’m super excited to share my first first author (and first ever) publication!! Read on to learn about how fish find love in the Cayman Islands 🐟💙 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Update: manuscript has been accepted at Marine Biology 🥳

Omg that’s me

Please share: I'm recruiting 1-2 M.S. or Ph.D. students for fall 2024 at WSU Pullman ! The Corn Lab studies evolution & functional morphology of vertebrates, particularly fishes. More info: kacorn.github.io/opportunities

#GLSF Spotlight! Tait Algayer is a master’s student in Biological Sciences WSU Pullman. This summer, Tait is working on genetically identifying yellow perch and alewife larval fish in #lakemichigan. #greatlakes #greatlakesinfo #scienceforsociety

Wanted the share some pictures from my research cruises with CIGLR this summer! It’s been a blast collecting #eDNA on Lake Michigan

At #AFS this week? Come to my talk on tracking larval fish dispersal patterns using eDNA/eRNA! Or just come say hi (im nice)

Interested in being a guest speaker at WSU Pullman this year? Contact my amazing friend and seminar rep Caroline Terry !

Mark your calendar - the WSU-CASE Day of Action is next Wednesday September 27! It’s time for ASEs to show WSU Admin we will not accept anything less than a contract that reflects our dignity and value as workers. Scroll for your campus/REC plan & RSVP ➡️ forms.gle/7k9mymG4gwaq7p…

ASEs are bringing the heat to WSU Admin in the fight for a fair contract 🔥Take a look at more of the press coverage on our Day of Action in this thread! dnews.com/local/wsu-grad…

Our new paper in Methods in Ecology and Evolution announces marineomics.io, an evolvingseas website sharing tools for rigorous, reproducible genomics in non-model & marine species We outline the site's resources, how they're made, and how YOU can contribute! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…

Our new paper reveals how pink salmon home very precisely to the habitat where their parents spawned. Two separate spawning groups (freshwater and intertidal) revealed by genetic markers from over 30,000 individuals. UAF CFOS PWSSC onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

Happy Halloween, enjoy some zombie Chinook salmon. After spawning theyve burned through their fat reserves & their immune system is nonfunctional. They start falling apart and molding but are still swimming around!

Come see my talk tomorrow at 11:15 to learn about the genomic mechanisms that mediate migration timing in Chinook salmon #wsn23 🥳

Cannot believe that I received the award for best talk in organismal and population biology at WSN! Such an honor considering all the amazing talks at the meeting, thank you @WSN_Secretariat

Happy December! Wanted to give the gift of ggplot through sharing this resource that introduced me to making figures in R github.com/kiirsti/ggplot…

Seeking scientist volunteers! Want to practice science communication and help author a ✨comic✨ about your research? I need collaborators for this spring's cohort of SciComm & Comics art students! Please share widely. #STEMeducation #Science #sciart

That’s me! Come see my talk on Thursday at 4:20 IAGLR in the Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Lower Trophic Levels session 🧬

This is my frisbee team 🫶

So happy to have been a part of this project 🧊 check out this new preprint
