I'm a comparative biologist at Boston College, exhausted dad, and like you, a fish.

Basking sharks are what now?! New paper led by @haleydolton where we document regional endothermy in our favourite giant filter feeding sharky 🔥. Interesting implications for evolution and ecological advantages of regional endothermy; we thought it was only seen in apex 🦈&🐟1/3

Peter Wainwright has just won the Joseph Nelson award for a lifetime of achievement in ichthyology. So very cool. One of my earliest mentors at ASIH. #jmih23

🌳✨Prepare to be amazed! Now, we can accurately map tree heights at a sub-meter scale for entire countries using aerial images and AI 🤖. Take a look at our tree height map of California, home to the tallest and largest tree species on our planet ✈️🌲🌎 doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2306.…

Why might #fish in a #school swim behind one another? A🧵.This question arises because being behind another fish involves #swimming in faster flow. A cyclist can draft because oncoming velocity is reduced. A thrust wake is like a cyclist facing a leader with a large fan.

What tweetable #rstats function have you written recently to reduce duplication in your data analysis code? I'm looking for some inspiration as I re-write the functions chapter in R4DS.

This #deepsea fish cover might be slightly psychedelic:-) It refers to our recent study on vision in deep-sea fish larvae (using cones) and adults (rods). It's also the first student paper since I started my FishEvo research group. Happy and congrats Nik! academic.oup.com/mbe/article…

New paper out in @JAnatomy! This isn’t a high-impact headliner about T. rex, nor does it solve the mysteries of a major transformation — but it highlights the dangers of trying to go there before tackling the basics. 🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Who’s excited to see some science in person in Phoenix?! It’s time to start thinking about what project you want to submit an abstract for!
Ready for #SICB2022? We are excited that our conference will be held in person! Phoenix, AZ, January 3-7. We are also rolling out a new virtual component called SICB+, which will enable world-wide access to our science. More details soon. Abstracts are due on 9/1. @SICB_
