I’m really excited to announce that I’ll be starting as an assistant professor at the University of California Riverside @UCRiverside in Fall 2025. I couldn’t have been more impressed with the strength of the students and the generosity of the faculty I met with while visiting!

Fun fact: The Berserk shitpost "Garfield, you are one funny cat" video was me!
I've seen way too many reuploads of my videos with my watermark removed, especially this particular one😭

[New Paper] @BullMarSci names Acanthotrochus verruciosseous, a new species of namako (holothurian) from >5000 m deep in the Aleutian Trench! We also present a high-resolution CT scan of the whole body, showing the ossicle distribution.

A press release for our new study on an ancient fossil leech, just out in @thePeerJ:

Pleased to announce our new @thePeerJ paper describing the first body fossil of a leech is now out! Led by @danielledecarle this was a super fun project to work on, facilitated by our great collaborators @AndrewWendruff @lbabcock1007 @Shimaleech

Also, there were no vertebrates among the Waukesha biota (possibly one chordate), and so the first leeches were probably eating invertebrates whole or drinking up their insides rather than drinking blood like their famous modern relatives
