In researching protocols for longitudinal imaging of #zebrafish, @slewzeus clued me into work from the @parichylab.bsky.social that I had missed. This movie is mind blowing, and just a little bit moody for #halloween. Images from 21-108 dpf. doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbi…

Very excited to share our paper from the Warren Grayson on imaging the cranial microvascular environment using #tissueclearing and #lightsheet microscopy. See 🧵 below for the story behind our study and the link to our publicly available datasets! (1/16) nature.com/articles/s4146…

I wrote about fins and limbs, a topic near and dear to me, and wacky flying fish! Big thanks 2 the fantastic team Quanta Magazine, esp. @tvjrennie for his editorial wisdom and good judgment, and Jacob Daane M. Brent Hawkins Sarah McMenamin, she/her Joost Woltering Tetsuya Nakamura for insights!

60 MILLION active icefish nests covering 240 square kilometers!🤯 This need be a marine protected area

Looking for a kind, curious soul to join me in the adventure of setting up the Diaz Cuadros lab at Dept. of Molecular Biology, MGH Harvard Medical School! We will study species-specific developmental rates using stem cells and worms. Research tech position ideal for recent grads: bit.ly/33xZVOU

Now out: Super fun collab with Alex Keene @turtlemcgaugh @JohannaKowalko labs on an amazing example of convergent molecular evolution in cavefish and burrowing rodents. Check out figure 3 and be prepared to 🤯 🤯 🤯 cell.com/iscience/fullt…

How are different types of fins & limbs related? Do the same genes guide how different appendages form? I w/ davidjandzik Tetsuya Nakamura Neil Shubin & others have added a piece to this evolutionary puzzle in this week’s PNASNews cover story. Thread: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Graduating soon and looking for a postdoc? Come work with a ridiculously amazing group of scientists in Boston to ask exciting questions about patterning, regeneration, endocrinology and skeletogenesis in zebrafish! sites.google.com/a/bc.edu/mcmen…

Ever wondered how skates developed their enlarged fins? Check our latest work w/ Jose Luis Gomez Skar Dan Rokhsar Juan Tena Ferdinand Marlétaz #ElidelaCalle Tetsuya Nakamura Christina Paliou Insights on the origin of fins and on the evolution of 3D gene regulation.

A beautiful species of Tripodfish, Bathypterois species, making an appearance off Palm Beach, Florida. Blackwater dive, Size about 1.5cm+.

Interested in studying shape and patterning using single cell methods and epigenetics? We are actively recruiting postdocs to research growth and regeneration in zebrafish fins! Let's talk! [email protected] #zebrafish #postdoc #zebrafishjobs #regeneration

Applications are open for two more weeks!

I'm looking to hire a postdoc to study sex chromosomes, sex differences, sexual selection, or any related topic in evolutionary biology. You'd be expected to work with flies, but the specifics are pretty flexible. Email or DM if interested.

So excited to see that this paper from my postdoc work in Dr. Kory Evans’ lab just came out in advanced view in Systematic Biology today! academic.oup.com/sysbio/advance…

Skin immunity lovers and anybody excited to do science with the super cool African lungfish here we go! Looking for a postdoctoral colleague to join our team in ABQ, NM. NM has endless sun, green 🌶️ and the most beautiful outdoors. Please RT far and wide
