I am SO PROUD to say that the indomitable @Alexuss_Symone 's 3rd ch. is OUT NOW at Evolution Letters! With me, Christopher Martinez , & Peter Wainwright, we find that a famous key innovation in feeding apparatus LIMITS functional diversification! doi.org/10.1093/evlett…

🚨🚨College Students in Wisconsin are being sent automated texts that they will face legal action for filling out their mail-in ballots in university housing. This is 100% VOTER INTIMIDATION. It’s perfectly LEGAL to vote on campus! Don’t let them fool you!

It's so cool how everything from prescription drugs to McDonald's to frozen waffles is contaminated now. It's almost like government regulations were the only thing keeping manufacturers from cutting costs and poisoning us.

Just seems appropriate today.

For those who need it today 🫶🏾

My message to my students this morning... hyperlinks below.

I knocked a lot of doors this past year on my campaign and asked people what issues were most important to them. Here are some of the key takeaways from my time spent talking to people here in Texas:

New OA paper on the roles of complexity and integration in the morphological diversification of reef fishes! doi.org/10.1038/s42003… This was a BIG collaborative effort led by Profs Mike D. Burns + Dylan Wainwright! Thankful to have been a part of this incredible team!

Americans have no idea how difficult legal immigration is for "high-skilled immigrants". I have 4 degrees incl a PhD. Einstein visa. 250K salary at FAANG. Lived in this country since I was a teenager. I won't be able to obtain citizenship until middle age Guide for Intl PhDs🧵

Since we're talking about funding of absurd research by NIH and other federal agencies, the funded scientists: - watching flies fuck - giving rats massages - spending years digging into why jellyfish glow - tracking penguin poop from space - using horseshoe crab blood

Super proud of my 2nd PhD paper exploring shifts in evo. integration among reef fish fins with expansions in locomotor modes, out now in Evolution. Within modes there is much diversity in fin shape and weak connections between form and function. doi.org/10.1093/evolut…

Beyond excited to say my first PhD paper (and first first-author) is out today in nature 🤯. Taking a new approach to key innovations, we show rapidly gaining/losing complex teeth accelerates speciation in fishes. Look out for a longer thread soon…
