I'd like to take a moment and thank the NIH-Yale Training Program in Genetics for: a.) the training, b,) the funding, and c.) pretending to listen to my talk this evening while I was blissfully unaware of #civilwar2021

Well today was a first. I got choked up and barely kept it together during an academic talk. What the heck happened you say? I am an easy crier but also I agreed to spend a part of my talk on tree thinking. A thread..

Major props and good luck to the pioneers who have to present the first day of #evol2021! Relieved I have a couple days to suss out the format

The first day was bound to have technical difficulties; hats off to those at #evol2021 working hard behind the scenes right now

¿Mire esta presa? En un lado, hay un pez endémico del lago que se está hibridando con su especie hermana hipotetizada, pero permanece morfológicamente distinto. Esta presentación mñna a las 2 va a describir cómo la arquitectura genómica permite esta especiación rápida! #evol2021

Hey #evol2021! We all know that asteroid did more than kill off dinos. Wanna know if the KPg event caused explosive diversification in today’s dominant marine vert group, the spiny-rayed fishes? Check out my talk today @ 11:10 in the SSB Excellence Symposium!

Catching up on #evol2021 talks after a busy week but wanted to shout out these great ones from some ichthyologists who always apply interesting methods to macro-level Qs that keep me up at night @Liz_C_Miller @sarahtfried Katherine Corn, PhD @lilyhug #WomenInSTEM

Glad someone said it—super frustrated that we all missed the end of James T. Stroud’s talk

Tell me you love me catfishes without telling me you love catfishes. I'll go first.

Are U-CEing what I’m seeing? After years of work / waiting for BEAST runs, our acanthomorph phylogeny is accessible on bioRxiv! Grateful to have gotten to collaborate with so many top-notch scientists along the way 🐡🐠🐟

New from the #NearLab by @DMacGuig and coauthors: Integrative ichthyological species delimitation in the Greenthroat Darter complex (Percidae: Etheostomatinae). Two additional species currently considered Greenthroat Darter! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

No judgement towards this editorial staff but I strongly suspect that it was NOT OK to proceed
