Better Know a Fish! / 曉得多魚！

What if we all pasted this list in teeny tiny font at the bottom of our email signatures to overwhelm them with emails that don’t appear to contain the search terms and mess up their process? Just asking. 😈

Photo of a small, unfinished drawing of a raven on brown paper. The paper is taped to a board and a black pencil in a pencil holder rests on the left side.

A little WIP for Wednesday

This week, I ordered a brackish stonefish and as I was putting stuff away a person came in who had just lost their brackish stonefish and bought it before I had to acclimate it. WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT?

we're in the process of translating this into various languages. let me know if you're interested in helping!

it does get a bit chaotic when there are lots of people involved at once though, so we're taking this slow.

Bluespotted Cornetfish (Fistularia commersoni). Inspired to try stippling ✍🏻 after seeing @sarcasticsharkart.bsky.social ’s recent beautiful work. #SciArt #SundayFishSketch 🦑

aw thank you 💚
I rushed this one, so I'm happy people still like it.

Pencil drawing of Astatotilapia burtoni, a blue male.

Today’s #SundayFishSketch is my nemesis, the cichlid Astatotilapia burtoni. The sex determination system in these guys is the source of at least 3 of my current headaches 😒

If you haven’t gotten into #SundayFishSketch, you’re missing out. What a detailed and incredible work this one is @behrenskristen.bsky.social 🙌

Wow! This #SundayFishSketch is above and beyond! 🙌
And we don’t want anyone to miss this ICB #Art in #Bio also mentioning @jacsciart.bsky.social ‘s piece(see image) integrativeandcomparativebiology.wordpress.com/2021/06/01/a...

This watercolor is incredible!!!! So good!! 🥹😮🥇

A photo of a white sketchbook with a horizontal graphite pencil sketch of a buckler dory in profile view. The fish is deep-bodied with a relatively large protruding mouth, one filamentous dorsal fin, a second long, rounded dorsal fin which is identical to its anal fin, a short causal peduncle and a concave squarish causal fin. Running underneath the back half of the dorsal side are distinctive buckler scales that end at the causal peduncle.

A buckler dory for #SundayFishSketch this week. I worked on this during the last few days of ASM training.

Sometimes all you can manage is some silliness. An inked fever dream. #SundayFishSketch

Social media for fisheries science and management professionals: How to use Bluesky and Instagram, and why you should ABSTRACT. Social media tools have revolutionized how people communicate with one another. A 2018 paper in Fisheries summarized the use of Twitter, Facebook

My paper "Social media for fisheries science and management professionals: How to use Bluesky and Instagram, and why you should" is formally published in an issue.

It's a how-to guide to using Bluesky, the first ever published in the scientific literature! 🧪🦑🌎🐟

My student applied to a postdoc position but turns out the postdoc ad didn't say that applicants needed to have their PhD by application date, not start date, so they were immediately rejected

C'mon people

This is going to affect sewing hard. Thread is mostly made in Egypt, Turkiye, Germany and Greece; zippers are China and Japan; buttons can be made in many places but almost none in the US. If you have space & disposable income, consider your stash this month.

A baby black tip rushes past a fisherman knee-deep in water. A school of minnow tail it.

Oh hey, it's #SharkWeek

Cell people, please advise! 🧪

We’re trying to find a microplate assay to check for acute upper thermal tolerance in fish cells. We need a marker for cell death that is fast acting and isn’t too temperature sensitive. 🙏

I can’t believe I’m still seeing comments about how AI will “democratize” art. What a nonsense idea. Go away.

A photo of a sketchbook opened to a profile sketch of a black bellied rosefish done in graphite pencil. The fish has large eyes and pectoral fins and is facing the left side of the page.
