I am so proud of @theheelygirl @FishgirlJoan @hellostaceface @McmenaminLab Yinan, Ben, Flora, Jenny, Julianna, Lee and Hoa for all their work on this paper! It has been a long road pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Meet IOB co author @hellostaceface Stacy is currently a PhD candidate in the McMenamin Lab at Boston College, studying #craniofacial development in #zebrafish Be sure to read academic.oup.com/iob/article/5/… #ecology #fish #sciencetwitter #WomenInSTEM

@MorphoFun Feel better Jäger!

@mklefauve @LPHernandezGW @MorphoFun Congrats @mklefauve !! 🎉

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! mcmenams@bc.edu #zebrafish #postdoc #zebrafishjobs #regeneration

nature.com/articles/s4159… How did some catfish species evolve hard armor bones on their bodies? RNA-seq and CRISPR/Cas13 found Pitx2 as a key gene. See our latest in @SciReports

Yay!! First in-person @SocDevBio meeting! #NESDB2022

@McmenaminLab has arrived at @NESDBMeeting and we’re pumped for a fun, science-filled weekend!

Thrilled to see our collaborative work with @LPHernandezGW out! We used "developmental genometric morphometrics" to show the roles that thyroid hormone plays in shaping 4 functional bones of the craniofacial skeleton in zebrafish. @hellostaceface onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Our first fluid-preserved lizard photogrammetry scan, the reticulate leaf-toed gecko, Hemidactylus reticulatus. Also, the only specimen in our collection that we have for this species from Southern India (UF 126818)! Specimen accessibility for all @FloridaMuseum @sketchfab

I have experimentally confirmed, yet again, that it is perfectly possible to spend 5 hours straight working in R and achieve absolutely nothing

Current views from lab are nothing short of magical 🍁🍃🍂

A lot of grad school so far has been fighting with R. R-guing, if you will

So neat to have this photo from a hike back in 2019 shared, looking forward to more great views in the coming weeks 🍁

scanned an absolute orb yesterday. Literally called an "orbfish"... he round

Animals don't just FLAP, each has their own pattern. Being an artist is all about observing the fine details of things... #animtip
