Had a blast in our first #Evol26 @sse-evolution.bsky.social with @evolbyo.bsky.social in Cleveland. @evolbyo.bsky.social crushed it presenting her work on #lanternfish genomics 🏮🐟. And I had the chance to make some big announcements (stay tuned!) at the Development session.

Feeling like it's officially #pupfishweek, so here's another one of my favorite videos but this time from the field! I took this video of a cutely colorful male #Cyprinodon beltrani while swimming in less than a meter of water in Laguna Chichancanab during our last field season with … 🧵👇
Fun facts about #pupfish: Actually a kind of #killifish, they get their names from their active and playful lifestyles. But don't let the name fool you, they are famous extremophiles and can withstand lethally high water temperatures, high salinities, and extremely low oxygen levels. #TeleostTalk 🧪
♂️ & ♀️ generalist #pupfish (Cyprinodon variegatus) from San Salvador Island, Bahamas 🐟. @fishfena.bsky.social at the Martin Fish Speciation Lab (UC Berkeley) uses this “wild type” species to study craniofacial genetics and evolutionary developmental biology. #ModelMonday #EvoDevo
Happy #DNADay26! 🧬 On April 25, 1953, publication of DNA’s double helix structure changed science and opened new frontiers in genetics and genomics. Ready to share your field-changing research? #GENETICS and #G3Journal are ready for you: buff.ly/IuxIUCC
