Until now, the story was: otophysans originated once, in freshwater, a long time ago β€” before Pangea even split apart.
But our study tells a different story. Our new data suggest otophysans actually originated ~150 million years ago β€” and in the ocean 🌊.

When you're working in a lab, put a readme.txt in every directory you create. Add the date, who created the dir, and WHY the directory was created. Bonus future proofing by including intended use of contents.

The sanity you save in the future might just be your own.
