This is a really, really important story, which is why I provided a gift link. Many people, when they think of higher education, think of elite universities. But most higher education is nonselective (i.e., they admit everyone), and a lot of it is community colleges.

Evo Devo is obviously the closing act! Nothing better than to go out with a bang.

Dear #izfc2025 participants, if anyone of you are interested in how transcription control defines mRNA fate and translation in zebrafish development, there are/will be several PhD and postdoctoral positions (funded by the Wellcome Trust) for this research. Please find me if interested.

Schematics depicting the dorsal and ventral sides of fins and limbs

We take for granted that our hands have two sides and can articulate in an endless number of ways. But what about a fish’s fin? Can a fish know something β€œlike the back of its fin,” or have its future told with a fin palm reading? Check out this bluetorial to find out πŸ‘‡πŸ§ͺ🧬🐟 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Any chance of us getting some larvae spread out during craniofacial dev for HCR? Have some interesting biology to look at rostrum dev and evolution

The Extinction of Truth Or, a Colossal Pile of Bullshit

I've written a Substack about the #ColossalBioSci #DeExtinction #DisInformation campaign; it's focused on polluting the information landscape, rather than the underlying science (except for species concepts, I talk about them)
