🇺🇸🇨🇷Assistant Prof of Biology at Hope College in Michigan. My undergrad team investigates ecological and evolutionary drivers of freshwater fish diversity! https://www.instagram.com/freshwaterfishecologylab?igsh=MXFxY2VsOTc5bG42dA==
David Marques was an amazing speciation genomics researcher, a passionate birder, and a wonderful friend, husband, and father. May he rest in peace. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Summer courses at Friday Harbor Labs have launched many scientific careers. Including mine. I was more reluctant to leave at the end of the course than other students.
I promise you will have fun and learn more than you can imagine.

A #ScienceAdvances study has found that the coelacanth—an evolutionarily ancient fish often nicknamed a living fossil—lacks 11 jaw muscles that researchers previously thought it had. https://scim.ag/4shX82H
All of the fish species featured during the 2025 #25DaysofFishmas
That's a wrap on 2025's #25DaysofFishmas - the 10th year of #Fishmas silliness! Thanks to everyone who has followed along as we explored some of the amazing fish that call the US home.
From Atlantic to Pacific, there's a lot worth protecting - wishing everyone peace and renewal of hope for 2026.
NEW pub in @science.org 🥳
Is it sponges (panels A & B) or comb jellies (C & D) that root the animal tree of life?
For over 15 years, #phylogenomic studies have been divided.
We provide new evidence suggesting that...

Eastern winds powered an upwelling lake event -this is when eastern winds push the warmer surface water layer exposing deeper, cooler waters. The water temperarure in Lake Michigan went from 25.22 °C (77.4F) on 07/24, to 18.63 (65.5F) on 07/31, and then as cool as 13.72°C (56.7F) on 08/03!!!

3/4 This project aims to complement existing efforts to restore Lake Sturgeon spawning in the Kalamazoo River by providing compl. monitoring data to inform ongoing conservation and monitoring efforts led by the Gun Lake Tribe ED along with partners at MiDNRand supported by researchers at GVSU +.
2/4🤓Stay-tuned: soon we will be sharing the findings from cool water sample analysis looking for the DNA of a vulnerable freshwater fish species ✨🧬
Really proud to have worked with my 14-year-old, Anjali, on this new and free kids' book on #evolution.
Published in time for the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial. Please check it out and share!

Come work at the U. of Oslo. We are advertising a 3-year postdoc in Evolutionary and Comparative Genomics. If working with plant evolution in the Galápagos, pangenome and structural variants sounds exciting for you - this may be your chance!
