FINALLY, the wait is over! Developmental Biology of Teleost Fishes, AIthered by leading experts - just $29.99. Beautifully googled developmental pics of the most important teleost, Homo sapiens. Aso learn more about microscopy and how to keep fish eggs on the bench. books.google.com/books/about/...

Here is the 2025 embryo alphabet from alligator to zebrafish. Developmental biology is stunning & leads to important discoveries for human medicine. @socdevbio.bsky.social

By the way: Nobody called us "Anti-Fish" either... #EndlessFishMostBeautiful

The Society for Developmental Biology has released a statement on the Unprecedented Disruptions to Biomedical Research in the United States.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Happy New Year! At the beginning of 2025, may we present the #Holstein #Gar! This is a mosaic #CRISPR knock out spotted gar mutant for the slc45a2 gene, also known as aim1, matp, or OCA4 in humans. Generated with generous support from #NSF EDGE. #EndlessFishMostBeautiful

If you know anyone who might be interested in working as a technician before a PhD, I'm looking for someone to work with me to generate some amazing data to understand the genetics of behavior, sex differences, and reproduction in an evolutionary context. Bonus? Amazing and supportive department!

💯. Most aspects of the system subtly (or not-so-subtly) push you back in your lane, making interdisciplinary work very hard.

Happy New Year fishy-folk et al!

Evodevo folks! This is the official account of the PASEDB. The top image is by Nikolay Kovalenko. www.panamevodevo.org

#Cichlids of the genus Haplochromis (and many of their relatives) have what are called ‚egg-spots‘ on their anal fin. Thought to mimic eggs and to lead the female towards the genital opening of the male for fertilization inside the female‘s mouth, the story is more complex. 🧵 #ichthyology #fish

20 years ago - me doing a genome walk of a #cichlid BAC clone for my diploma thesis & first first-author paper academic.oup.com/mbe/article/... Very archaic compared to what we do now in an instance, but you definitely felt more connected to the individual sequence. I knew every gap and repeat…

#OnThisDay in 1831, the HMS Beagle departs on its second voyage with an unknown young naturalist aboard. The ship will eventually visit the Galapagos Islands where the scientist, Charles Darwin, will begin to formulate his theories on evolution. #HistoryOfScience

Xmas teaser: Mike Dorrity @mwdorr.bsky.social and I are looking for a joint postdoc to study "The Hallmarks of Thermal Adaptation" in Aquatic Chordates as part of the EIPOD-LinC program www.embl.org/about/info/p... and the partnership between @embl.org and @msarscentre.bsky.social.

A 2015 #ScienceAdvances study finds #Christmas trees once had a second set of genes—a feature that allows one copy to change what it does without affecting the organism’s survival. Learn more:

Merry Fishmas to all, and to all a good feeding! Thanks to all that are taking care of our fish this holiday season 🙏

Good reads ahead - thanks, Santa!

Anyone developing a #zebrafish model of #FTD? We would be very interested to talk to you.

An article that demonstrates both the limits and promise of science. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/22/h...

"LESS, but MORE" refers to the evolutionary framework characterized by massive gene losses accompanied by bursts of duplications that we describe in a MS just published in MBE about FGF evolution in appendicularian tunicates👉 bit.ly/3VGWSfd @official-smbe.bsky.social Here, our first #BLUETORIAL 🦋😁👇

On the last day of #GarWeek 2024, we ask you for some feedback on past and future efforts on #Gar and #Holostean meetings, conferences, symposia (virtual & in-person). Scientist or not, pls fill the 2024 Survey of the Holostean Fish Research Community: forms.gle/13qP8BWaQfgr... GARgantuan thanx!

Our next meeting will be July 22-25 at the University of Miami in summer 2025, with satellite meetings on July 21. More details will be coming shortly! Stay tuned.

Happy Holidays & Merry Fishmas from the MSU BeeGee Labs!

Thanks @solomonrdavid.bsky.social and @garlab.bsky.social for hosting me! And also thanks to @kassthefish.bsky.social for the help! Shortnose gar (Lepisosteus platostomus) sampling for #garnomics: check!✅ Who’s next? #EndlessFishMostBeautiful

57 years ago today, Jocelyn Bell detected a series of strange, repeating radio signals. Her finding led to the discovery of pulsars...and inspired the iconic cover of Joy Division's first album. 🧪 www.cam.ac.uk/stories/jour...

As promised, a thread on the first manuscript from a large project we started several years ago on expression variability in fishes, led by the amazing Christa Bucao @dee-unil.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
