Beautiful day on Bayou Petit Gaillou at the Chauvin Sculpture Garden with Quenton, Allyse Ferrara, and Gary LaFleur Nicholls Biology. Trying to recruit the next generation of #gar researchers. #EndlessFishMostBeautiful

Spotted gar embryos came from Braasch Lab @ MSU ! Super exciting time in the year. Caroline Schwaner is dissecting them

Capture season 2024 is underway!

We are very proud of our star undergraduate researchers Grace Urban and Isabella Rinaldi for their excellent presentations at MSU UURAF! Sparty (Garty?) is impressed, too!

Congratulations to the IZFS 2024 Streisinger Award winner, Dr. Judith Eisen! The award recognizes foundational work that has opened possibilities within the zebrafish field! The award will be presented at the upcoming #IZFC2024 in August 17-21, 2024! izfs.org/news/congratul…

Great Master’s defense talk by Emily Ott Nicholls Biology today on spotted gar broodstock quality from different watersheds in Southern Louisiana as part of our collaborative U.S. National Science Foundation EDGE project! Congrats, Emily Ott - well done!

Fortunate to catch Chris Amemiya ‘s department seminar LSU Department of Biological Sciences today - great talk on chitin and immune system evolution in vertebrates - continued by some jammin’ at the Schneiders Igor Schneider Patricia N Schneider

Some smooth #EvoDevo tunes in the backyard with Chris Amemiya and Igor Schneider after the crawfish boil… how is your Sunday going?

Fins, limbs, necks, shoulders, girdles …fantastic visit and talk by Tetsuya Nakamura to EEB at MSU and MSU College of Natural Science ! Thanks for coming, Tetsuya - we’re looking forward to endless fish collaborations to come! #EndlessFishMostBeautiful
