The SQuEACs lab has been busy since #SICB2025 writing papers, making posters, and scanning more things. Sometimes it’s nice to get out to nature though.

Megan Hostetter taught #SICB2025 yesterday about the central nervous system of the river frog tadpole and how its development may be altered from exposure to heavy metals.

So proud of the SQuEACs lab this week at #SICB2025. Yesterday, Sofia Barajas presented on evolution and variation in the PAX6 gene of gnathostomes. Fish and amphibians are doing some crazy things!

My first watermelon of the season (and ever actually )! It was sweet but not overly so and full of seeds for next year 💕 this is a crimson sweet watermelon. Seeds from Native Seeds www.nativeseeds.org/products/ts263

I’ve studied inter and intraspecific variation in endocasts shape and size across #carnivorans as it relates to environmental variables. This lovely endocast was generated by my research assistant Dominik Valdez of Lontra canadensis.

Calling all #SICB2025 attendees!! If you use #CT in your research or are wanting to, check out the #workshop hosted by Paul Gignac and me. We'll be focusing on not only how to generate data but how to make it accessible, reproducible, and reusable to others. #FAIR www.xcdsystem.com/sicb/program...
