Just learned chessboxing is a thing and now I'm sad I lost the opportunity to be good at something

I absolutely love how this marvelous structure looks like in CT scans. Any guesses of what it is?
clue: 🏓

The world if scientists could focus on the actual science and public engagement rather than worry about funding/employment and having to write proposals all the time:

And here’s a CT scan projection of a MCZ specimen!

If universities anywhere are hiring an Evolutionary Biologist/Paleontologist please let me know! I'm on the market for Tenure Track positions!!

Having a great time looking at histological slides of ray-finned fishes available at MCZbase! These are gorgeous slides from the G. Northcutt collection that now resides here.

Guess its a good time to reintroduce myself.

Hi! Im an ichthyologist, evolutionary biologist and paleontologist working on fish evolution through time and space, with a special focus on neuroanatomical diversity.

Will post in PT🇧🇷EN🇺🇸ES🇨🇷 depending on topic and/or my mood 😁

hm…

repost with a banger picture of you

(Paleozoic rocks all the way our eyes can see)

Biólogos, poste uma foto sua trabalhando pra comemorar o nosso dia

Are you planning on attending NAPC2024? Are you interested in brains and paleontology? Consider submitting an abstract to the Paleoneurology symposium Matteo Fabbri and I are organizing! More details on submission soon!

Achieved two goals of visiting Australia today. Saw a koala and a kookaburra in the wild! Plus got these awesome shots. Now I need to find a kangaroo

If you are going to be at #SVP2023 come check out my talk this Friday afternoon 1:45pm! I'll be talking about some updates on my research on fossil and extant ray-finned fish neuroanatomy and evolution!
