Beginning a new adventure in the Arctic in July 1999. I’m to the left. Marcus Davis to the right. First day of fieldwork in the Arctic. We’d find Tiktaalik roseae five years later.

How Did Hands Evolve? The Answer Is Behind You.

Our work exploring a new explanation for the regulation of Hoxd genes and the #fin-to-limb transition. 🧪

It was an absolute joy working on this w/ @aurhin.bsky.social and @homeobox.bsky.social @denisduboule.bsky.social @neilshubin.bsky.social

Congratulations!!

Congrats to Aurelie Hinterman aurhin.bsky.social, Chase Bolt chasebolt.bsky.social, and Brent Hawkins @homeobox.bsky.social!

Coverage in NYTimes by @carlzimmer.com: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/s...

Before recently shipping this model out to its new home at the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum in Singapore, I brought it over to @neilshubin.bsky.social lab to see the latest updates to the sculptures anatomy. Tiktaalik’s discovery site on the wall map makes the scene!

Feeling the incalculable loss of Mark Norell (1957-2025): wonderful scientist and cherished friend. His influence will continue through his many mentees and the science he did and inspired.

Excited to be giving 4 lectures in Paris in October at the Collège de France. Free and open to the public!

Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Scopes trial telling students in central Tennessee about their inner fish.

I’m so grateful to the high school and middle school teachers who brought their students from small schools to the event (some from almost an hr away).

'Missing links' of evolution, explained When we look at the world around us, we see a wondrous variety of living things. How do species evolve into all these different forms? UChicago scientists explain.

The great Tyler Kellior swung by lab with the latest reconstruction of Tiktaalik. Here we are in the "look what I just caught!" pose and Tyler with his "a man and his fish" one.

It is not a political statement to note the fact that science enhances our well being, expands our knowledge of the world, and drives economic growth 🧪

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you Jeff!!!

Thanks Joe!

Thanks Maureen. And thank you for your own work 🙏

Embattled US scientific society names palaeontologist to top job Neil Shubin, a University of Chicago researcher known for co-discovering a ′missing link’ fossil fish, will lead the National Academy of Sciences if ratified by members.

When Marcia McNutt's term ends next year, @neilshubin.bsky.social will take the reins at NAS to lead the organization through what may continue to be a fraught landscape for government-funded science.
