Find out more about JEB's new article type, Theory & Modelling, allowing scientists to publish research leveraging modelling and theory to address new biological questions, in Sheila Patek, Monica Daley, Matt McHenry & Sanjay Sane's Editorial journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

#Education resource! Over the years I created this collection of colored skull #3Dmodels for teaching. They're available to download on MorphoSource & to view on Sketchfab. Because of recent changes to Sketchfab, I migrated them to my website: www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/work/colorso... (1/3)

Please follow my list of Indigenous scientists! I accidentally deleted my first starter park -- but recreated it with even more names. Who else needs to be added? go.bsky.app/9LhnuCY

Are you interested in learning about how engineering and physics can be applied to study the motions of #plants, #invertebrates, and #animals? Here's a non-exhaustive list of Comparative Biomechanists to get started! 🦋 🐟 🦎 🌿 🧪 go.bsky.app/HvHFgvB Apologies for any that I may have been missed.

@formorphology.bsky.social This one is absolutely magnificent.

A criticism I've seen of Bluesky since the Great Migration has been that lots of scientists have joined, but many of the Black scientists who made Science Twitter great hadn't. This week so far, @misselasmo.bsky.social and @official-bweems.bsky.social joined! Please don't be assholes to them.

Welcome to the NEW Journal of Experimental Biology Bluesky feed. We are very excited to be here & are looking forward to talking about the amazing research that we publish in #comparativephysiology, #neuroethology and #biomechanics journals.biologists.com/jeb Please follow us to build our community

NEW PAPER WITH CUTE FIGURES ALERT ⚠️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The California Academy of Sciences @calacademy.bsky.social is looking for a new curator of botany! This is an endowed position (McAllister Chair) and our herbarium and botany department are world class. Check it out and feel free to send questions my way! us242.dayforcehcm.com/CandidatePor...

Postdoc opportunity: The Fluid Locomotion Laboratory at NJIT, invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate position in the field of underwater attachment mechanics and bioinspired design. Position will begin as soon as August 2025. Details: njit.csod.com/ux/ats/caree...

Great presentation by Cat Eno at the MTS NJ Chapter Student Symposium!

Every conference should have a puppy play zone.

Come hear about flying fish this morning at OSM24!

Awww thanks Cat Eno!

🧪 It’s not always rainbows and robots on Monterey Bay, but sometimes it is! 🌈 You’ve probably heard about the storm front that made its way through California this week. Despite the rough seas, our long-range AUV team got out on the bay between bouts of rain.

In case literally anyone was wondering my advisor @flammanglab.bsky.social is a BOSS and a half!!!!!

If you think your research would benefit from doing a postdoc in a diverse and welcoming lab that supports morphology, biomechanics, fluid dynamics, and bioinspired robotics - let me know. I’m happy to help you draft your NSF PRFB concept! www.nsf.gov/pubs/2023/ns...

If you're a woman of color or nonbinary person of color in ecology, evolutionary bio, or allied fields, sign up for our mentorship programs! We have both peer mentorship and 1-on-1 mentorship programs. Deadline to join is September 15. Please share widely! #WOCinEEB forms.gle/aayHUWwhzroF...

Are you an ecologist? I'd love to chat to you about you experiences in the field as background research for Fieldwork, our short film project. I'm curious to know what you're studying, where, why & what's ever gone wrong (because something always does!) cc @luehea.bsky.social @anaspene.bsky.social

It’s not like any big deal grants are due in 2 days right????

If you teach introductory undergraduate geoscience modules and want to integrate #indigenous knowledges, here are some Eos articles that are short, written in plain English, with case studies, that introduce some important anti-colonial concepts- Good for first year level: 🧵🧪⚒️#AcademicSky

Field work in Barbados to film flying fish! This was my first but thankful for my collaborators (and their kids ;D) who knew what they were doing ;D. Special thanks to @flammanglab.bsky.social who sat on the bow for hours to get us precious footage!! w/ @Cotesia1 and @eagerexocoetus

Current grant writing status. There are many perks to being a marine biologist.

📢New paper alert! We analysed PhD recruitment processes in geosciences, and develop recommendations for making the process more equitable. Our recommendations focus on advertising, interviews, and student evaluation, and are broadly applicable across disciplines. ⚒️🧪 Out now: https://rdcu.be/disSZ

I highly recommend Dr. Rutledge. Brilliant scientist and wonderful human.

I asked an Indigenous colleague in Hawai'i where people can donate to and these were his suggestions (1/2): Hawaiʻi People's Fund: https://hawaiipeoplesfund.networkforgood.com/projects/200566-maui-aloha-the-people-s-response-fund ʻĀina Momona: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kokuamaui

To solve the ocean plastic pollution crisis, do we need top down societal change, or individuals to change their behavior? Yes. Please enjoy my latest “ask a marine biologist” 🦈🧪🦑

Some highlights of my adventures with @curlybiologist.bsky.social in Cairns, Australia for the International Congress on Vertebrate Morpholgy!
