2/2) It has been a hectic few years on my end, and I greatly appreciate those of you that have kept the hashtag alive and for giving me grace as I navigated extreme life events. Looking forward to #sundayfishsketch year 10! (Bonus picture of one of those life events)

1/2) Is that time of year again #Sundayfishsketch friends! This weekend marks the end of our 9th year of sketches! As we move into year 10, our annual #Fishytheme is to draw on Opah (the first fish sketch), to appreciate improvements made while practicing throughout the year. #sciart 🦑

Our final #SundayFishSketch #SciArtSeptember theme for Sunday is 'harvest.' Hundreds of fish species are harvested every year, there are many to choose from. BONUS CONTENT: my baby girl is "due" this Sunday, if she decides to show... everyone send along their spawning vibes please! #sciart 🦑

Rolling into the weekend it is time for the #SundayFishSketch #Fishytheme. Continuing our @lizlagomorph.bsky.social #SciartSeptember themes, 'Reef' is the prompt for this Sunday! There are thousands of reef fishes to choose from, and I can't wait to see all the colorful illustrations! #Sciart 🦑

Continuing to follow our #SciartSeptember #SundayFishSketch #Fishytheme this month with @lizlagomorph.bsky.social, this weekend's theme is 'Mimic.' There are so many fantastic fish that mimic other things, including inanimate objects, other animals, even other fish! #sciart 🦑

What better way to spend the 6 months mark with growing baby girl than researching at the AMNH and catching up with old friends and colleagues. Also, check out our new paper published this week on the amazing variation in biofluorescence of fishes!

1/2) An apology to my #SundayFishSketch community for dropping the ball on #Fishytheme posts and participation. My time has been focused on my first semester teaching as a professor. We also purchased and moved into a new home. To top it off, I have a little fry incoming at the end of September.

A #sundayfishsketch #fishytheme I’ve wanted to do for a while is to sketch a fish using a single line, like this work by TFOUST. Let’s see those line drawings! #sciart
