With #SICB2024 right around the corner, @bhjuarez and I want to get folks excited about our Symposium on Jan 3rd - "Feel the flow: how water movement shapes organisms and ecosystems"

We have incredible speakers all day in Ballroom B and we'd love to see you there!

A little overview of why earless frogs are so weird, interesting, and fun to think about! 🐸👂
Especially from an evolutionary perspective 🧬🌿
