Great new review paper out on the fish beds of #Lebanon. As i'm working on a lebanese project this is fortuitous. And very useful, as it has references even I didn't know 😃Which is the geatest compliment you can give a review paper. Go check it out. pubs.geoscienceworld.org/jgs/article/do…

Very excited that my first first-author paper in Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, written with @Bloomchovies and Josh Egan is now available online! academic.oup.com/biolinnean/adv…

Want to learn more about beautiful spadefish & biodiveristy of coral reef fishes during the past 66 million years ! I have a poster at #JMIH on Saturday ! 🐠

Come join us!!!

Big news! Dr. Michael Burns has accepted an offer to join the OSU Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences as an assistant professor, where he will replace me as the curator of the Oregon State Ichthyology Collection. Congrats, Mike!

Congrats, Jake Berv!

🚨Please share/RT: I am looking for prospective PhD students to join my forthcoming lab at UMich Ecology and Evolutionary Biology UM Paleontology for Fall 2025. Students interested in network ecology, paleobiology, and theoretical and systems biology or related, please fill: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

The #SICB2025 program is up. I will be starting off the session on cranial variation on Jan 7th with a talk on Devonian fish jaws🐟🐠

I'm looking for #Postdocs ! 🧑‍🔬🔍 I'm a highly motivated researcher with experience in R programming, network analysis, and multivariate statistics. My focus is on the evolution of ecosystems and biodiversity over deep time. Any retweets or shares are greatly appreciated! 🙏

IPFC (Indo-Pacific Fish Conference) will be held from June 9 to 13, 2025. I am hosting one of the special sessions on fish fossils. 2025asi-ipfc12.tw/site/mypage.as… It would be excellent to meet you all attending our session. Please also help us spread the word.

Paper alert 🐠!!! We investigated the evolutionary patterns of seahorses, goatfishes, dragonets, flying gurnards (Syngnatharia) across different oceans. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/73…

Fun with X-ray light.

I'll be at my first #SICB2025 next month with some cool 3D printed fossil fish jaws to hype up my talk on Jan 7 at 1:30pm entitled "Patterns of jaw diversification in early bony fishes." Come say hello!!
