Thanks RC @rchoover.bsky.social for giving a really toothy talk about dentition in Stichaeids to my ichthyology class, today! Also, special thanks to the research mentors as well! @kassthefish.bsky.social, @karlycohen.bsky.social, and @cmdonatelli.bsky.social

Marie Tharp mapped the ocean floor, revealing the Mid-Atlantic Ridge's rift valley, crucial to understanding plate tectonics. Her work, initially dismissed, revolutionized marine science! #marinescience #womenshistorymonth

Last week, the Santa Ana River Symposium took place at ESRI in Redlands, CA. Mariana, a graduate student in my lab, gave an excellent presentation on our research into the Santa Ana sucker mitochondrial genome. She did an outstanding job!

Unfortunately, I will not be at SICB this year. However, I have colleagues presenting work, which I have contributed to the projects, and an REU student presenting our Stichaeid (prickleback fish) gut microbiome work this past summer at FHL. #SICB2025
