As a kid, I remember watching a show about a detective who solved cases from his wheelchair, and today I learned that show started with a Raymond Burr made-for-tv movie from 1968 called Ironside, which led to an 8-season tv show. Anyway, today I watched Ironside.

What a cool fish with neat larval characteristics. Kinda like a cross between an adult pearlfish and a larval cusk eel.

Aphyonus gelatinosus — This deep-sea fish was only photographed alive for the first time in 2016. It’s essentially a living blob: transparent, scaleless, and nearly boneless. An extreme minimalist in the art of survival. #marinelife

As the school year comes to a close I always try to get the whole lab together before students leave for summer. Super grateful for this group of hard working employees and students that truly represent the positive impact that federal funds can have on lives and careers. I can't thank them enough!
