Thanks RC @rchoover.bsky.social for giving a really toothy talk about dentition in Stichaeids to my ichthyology class, today! Also, special thanks to the research mentors as well! @kassthefish.bsky.social, @karlycohen.bsky.social, and @cmdonatelli.bsky.social

Marie Tharp mapped the ocean floor, revealing the Mid-Atlantic Ridge's rift valley, crucial to understanding plate tectonics. Her work, initially dismissed, revolutionized marine science! #marinescience #womenshistorymonth

My kinderGARtner (6-year-old daughter) tells us about gars!

While watching our fish tank (aka The Gar-den), I asked her to talk about gars for a bit. Proud parent 🥹 #SciComm #GarWeek

The Ichthyology Department is one of many departments at NHMLA hosting a researcher through this program. You've got until Sunday to apply! 🐟🧪

Last week, the Santa Ana River Symposium took place at ESRI in Redlands, CA. Mariana, a graduate student in my lab, gave an excellent presentation on our research into the Santa Ana sucker mitochondrial genome. She did an outstanding job!

Can I offer you a Good Boy in these trying times?

#SICB2025 was amazing! These meetings keep getting better and better. Such great support for students, and such fun people. HornerLab had a blast AND I got to geek out with @sofishtication.bsky.social

Yeah, I keep hearing about multiple fires in So Cal. I hope you are ok!

Thanks to everyone who came to my #Sicb2025 talk!

Also, Vanessa Castro (former student in my lab) did a project with MISS and is presenting her work at SICB. Please show Vanessa some support! #SICB2025

Unfortunately, I will not be at SICB this year. However, I have colleagues presenting work, which I have contributed to the projects, and an REU student presenting our Stichaeid (prickleback fish) gut microbiome work this past summer at FHL. #SICB2025

Heras Lab potluck before finals week. Here’s to the end of the semester!

DAY 10 #12daysofanglerfishmas Celebrating Neoceratias, the anglerfish without a lure!

This is among the rarest anglers but EV Nautilus just recently observed one in life!
