Anoplogaster cornuta. One of the most photogenic skeletons I know #scanAllFishes

fhl.uw.edu/courses/applyi… Keep those applications coming! We are so excited!

Join @Fishguy_FHL and myself this winter for our Bio-Imaging course @MarineBiol_FHL ! Learn to CT scan, SEM, 3D print and more! Please spread widely!

The latest addition to Syngnathidae! Cylix nkosi, a new species of pygmy pipehorse from South Africa and a new record for the genus for all of Africa! @IUCNSeahorse @austmus @calacademy @burkemuseum tinyurl.com/New-species

Cheshire cat realness for JD Vance! #Heterodontus #CT

CT scan of Eumicrotremus orbis, revealing interesting features of the pharyngeal jaws. Lateral, dorsal, and posterior views of the jaws show the lower jaw protrudes way forward relative to the upper jaw. And the pharyngeal teeth are huge compared to the oral teeth! #lumpsucker

@Pombo_lu @syngnathids @MarineBiol_FHL @Karly_Cohen That is fantastic!!

CT scan of the Pacific spiny #lumpsucker Eumicrotremus orbis. Small juvenile, collected in 1955 in the San Juan Islands, WA, has nasty teeth. #Cyclopteridae @Fishguy_FHL @MarineBiol_FHL @Karly_Cohen

Here @syngnathids and Meghana Binraj used the new Bruker 1273 to visualize sharks and seahorses. microphotonics.com/utilizing-micr…

@Silicon_alien @Fishguy_FHL @MarineBiol_FHL @Karly_Cohen I scan little fish at around 5.5 - 8 um for 2 hours

@syngnathids @Fishguy_FHL @MarineBiol_FHL @Karly_Cohen which settings do you use when scanning very small skeletons?

Finally arrived at the Friday Harbor Lab! I will be on the San Juan island off the WA coast for a month to learn all about fish biomechanics and field research from @Fishguy_FHL . This is such a summer camp for adults and I can't be more excited!

Finished the parrotfish skull, pretty on the inside and outside. These guys are basically just wrasses that dialed their bones up to 10 so that they can crunch hard stuff... I respect it #backdatwrasseup

@ferpaiv @Karly_Cohen @MarineBiol_FHL Yes. Though full support is extraordinarily rare. And, early application and commitment is key because of the visa issues.

@Fishguy_FHL and I are running a bioimaging course at Friday Harbor Labs this winter! Focusing on CT, SEM, histology, photography, and more. The course is 10 weeks, 15 credits, and scholarships are available. Priority applications are due in October. fhl.uw.edu/courses/applyi…

In issue! Dental Dynamics: A Fast New Tool for Quantifying #Tooth and Jaw #Biomechanics in #3D Slicer @Karly_Cohen , A R Fitzpatrick, @jmhuiee doi.org/10.1093/iob/ob… Don't miss @SICB_ student fund's merch of the great cover! fineartamerica.com/featured/denta… #morphology #science

The giant water tunnel is greatly enhanced by the addition of a 7 axis robot arm with 6 axis force sensor. Flapping and stabbing and burrowing in the flow! #FHLFishClass2024

The #FHLFishClass is treated to career and fish guts advice from @SEBASTESinBLUE. Lovely research, but also wonderful advice about the academic path.

There are surprisingly many species known only from a SINGLE specimen, including many that are already extinct. Makes you wonder how many became extinct without a record at all.
