We've had something like 20k scientists sign up for @skypeascientist.bsky.social in the last ~4 years, so we usually have someone in our existing database, but no dice today!

Anyone know John Davenport?

Yes, there is one! Matt Harris at Harvard who published on genetic basis of their fin extensions a few years ago in Current Bio.

Think they’d be down to talk to elementary school students?

fishspeciation.bsky.social•70 days ago

I’m not sure - probably not 😆. He runs a biomedical lab, I don’t think he’s on bsky

mtanichthys.bsky.social•70 days ago

Any leads? @fishladylily.bsky.social

tccoyote.bsky.social•70 days ago

This guy?

(sorry, couldn't resist, I'll shut up now)

nickdhiggs.bsky.social•69 days ago

Ooops mis-read as Fly-fishing scientists 🎣

chefesque.bsky.social•68 days ago

I’ve had some aggressive hook sets that have flung tiny trout into the trees behind me. Does that count as a flying fish?

thefishbotherer.bsky.social•70 days ago

@planet-of-fishes.bsky.social heads up!

jimpedia.bsky.social•70 days ago

I'm sure there are one of them in here, somewhere.

trevorabranch.bsky.social•69 days ago

Only when I travel long distance am I a flying fish-scientist.

henriquesro.bsky.social•69 days ago

I laughed too hard at this 😂

discusfish.bsky.social•69 days ago

Hey, isn't THE flying fish-scientist @fishguy.bsky.social 's thing?

fishguy.bsky.social•69 days ago

I fly planes, but for flying fish you want Bill Ludt at the LACM.

berthadecool.bsky.social•70 days ago

Is that an aeroichthyologist?

planet-of-fishes.bsky.social•69 days ago

Hi Sarah, I’ve done some work on flying fishes in the past. Seems I’m a bit late to the party, but if Brooke for some reason can’t talk to the kids, I’m happy to help

sarahmackattack.bsky.social•69 days ago

Thank you!

focke36253.bsky.social•70 days ago

Been so hard for flying fish to get into science college, but good luck in the search 😁

jmhuie.bsky.social•70 days ago

@flammanglab.bsky.social might know someone

Or Bill Ludt, curator of the Los Angeles county museum CT scanned a bunch a while ago. Not sure if it’s an active area of research of his

flammanglab.bsky.social•70 days ago

What kind of science questions do you want answered? We are studying their biomechanics.

sarahmackattack.bsky.social•70 days ago

Fantastic! This would be an elementary school class so I honestly don’t know 😅

flammanglab.bsky.social•70 days ago

Oh they have the BEST questions (I have 2 first graders myself). I’m down!

sarahmackattack.bsky.social•70 days ago

Amazing!! Thank you! Going to DM you now :)
