A johnny (the Baptist?) darter for this week's Easter-themed #SundayFishSketch! I was out doing some stream sampling this week and the darters were all colored up in their breeding colors, one of the surest signs of spring!

I feel like winter ice fishing is the prime season for catching burbot, and I live in the wrong part of the country to catch them now, but I always thought the eelpout festival in Minnesota looked kind of fun! #SundayFishSketch

This is a bit delayed because I’ve been distracted by the world going to shit, but… We published a paper that I am so very excited about: doi.org/10.1016/j.sc... In this study we tracked brook trout response to heat waves in nature using gene expression from non-lethal gill biopsies. (1/n)

I'm really excited to share our most recent paper on gene expression in wild populations of brook trout in response to heatwaves! We identified candidate biomarkers of heat stress and tracked changes across the whole transcriptome in multiple populations. (1/5) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I re-drew a common shiner for this week's #SundayFishSketch! This was one of the first fish I drew while figuring out my digital art workflow, and it's fun to see how my style has developed over the years! #redraw

Did you know: NOAA manages US marine fisheries, including the fisheries in the Great Lakes! So if you like having sustainable local fisheries, thank NOAA scientists (and maybe advocate against the indiscriminate firing policies pushed by power-crazed billionaires). #SundayFishSketch #LakeWhitefish

This is devastating. One of the goals of REU programs is to provide opportunities for underrepresented groups. REUs were the way I got my foot in the door to do research and figured out that I liked working in genetics. Gutted for the students affected by this.

Today, we share our love for federal #fisheries professionals who work tirelessly to address the myriad problems facing our nation’s fisheries. We urge the Administration to stop indiscriminate mass firings and to build and maintain a sufficient federal natural resource workforce.

Since it's the Super Bowl, here's a repost of a carmine shiner, native to the KC area (and that I drew for the Chiefs last year 😞) and a brook trout, the state fish of Pennsylvania! Go Birds I guess? #SundayFishSketch

NOAA includes offices like us! We fund and conduct work like: - hands-on teacher trainings - sturgeon restoration - grad student research - learn-to-fish camps - flood recovery and prevention Every federal $1 that goes to a Sea Grant program reaps $3 in benefits for coastal communities!

The dismantling of American Science continues. The Organismal Response to Climate Change grant call has been cancelled. The NSF Director is a disgrace

I sure hope my postdoc dreams aren't thwarted by this federal funding freeze and review 🙃 My heart goes out to those that are going to be even more severely affected by this--people that rely on healthcare research & supply, educational programs, disaster relief, etc. Call your reps.

For today's #SundayFishSketch, here is a recently finished Polymixia hollisterae (an attempt, anyway). I'd taken a ~ 1 yr. hiatus from drawing and this is the first illustration I've finished since coming back, and I'm pretty proud 🐡

Orangespotted sunfish are mostly blue, so even though orange is in the name, I can still count it towards today's #SundayFishSketch theme, right?

Sturgeons, like this pallid sturgeon, often undertake migrations during spawning seasons from lakes or large rivers to rocky reefs or smaller streams to lay their eggs! #SundayFishSketch
