It was tough (first one magnificent). Watched on plane and satellite froze during bottom 8th to ninth inning. Groaaan.

We kicked off #SCGDB2025 with exciting award talks from Dr. Timothy Cox @craniofacialprof.bsky.social and Dr. Jennifer

Yeah, those posts have kept me sane for the last few months

Does it go to eleven? (And yes)

Hell ya. Jealous.

That time I bonded with some long-lived clams to uncover their anti-aging secrets 🐚🧬 #BiologyOfAging #MyMBLMoment #BoA @fish4walking.bsky.social

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.

Young?

Registration and abstract submission are open for the SCGDB annual meeting in Minneapolis! Deadlines: 8/25 abstract for short talk, 9/7 abstract for poster, 9/7 registration. More information at scgdb.org.

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.

Make sure to have a cup of Joe before starting…it’s a tour, but a good one!! Amazing collaborations tell good tales: The Genetics of the Sound of one hand clapping.

Dude you have more grey in that beard than me!

S making friends again….now Shawn let the others play with the toys every so often…..

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

Poor bastards - you gotta turn down the flow or they gunna get scoliosis. Like a swim test in there.

It has to be followed up: ‘so not unlike you as a PI’ ……

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)
