Today I wrapped up my PhD with a 30 minute exit seminar. I thank everyone who took the time to attend it. It’s been a rush. I’m humbled and emotional. Love 💕, Kai 🥰

Hey @plants_sis, why is your van a Pokémon

Sharing this amazing pectoral fin girdle of the clingfish genus Barrichthys, from Kevin Conway's 2019 ZooKeys paper. Obsessed with the sutures connecting pectoral fin radials 1–4.

If you keep looking at bones eventually you’ll find something! Check out these amazing pelvic girdles. The thin, wingless central portion of the girdle appears to be a derived character for the flasher wrasses (but not in other pseudocheilines).

I had a whole bunch of papers published, which is remarkable given how crummy the year has been. I never forget how lucky I am for that! I try to complain less. These are some of my highlights - 4 new species of Pseudojuloides! 5/n

Glued. As in all y’all to #ElectionTwitter this week. https://t.co/0oqXNQ8QIx

We surveyed incidences of hybridization across the marine angelfishes, and find that nearly half of all valid species (48% of the family) from all but one genera are capable of hybridization!

#SlugsVsFishes ACT 2. Batfishes from the genus Platax have mimetic juveniles, with different species mimicking all sorts of different things, from leaves, to crinoids, to poisonous flatworms! Here’s a juvenile Platax pinnatus mimicking a Pseudobiceros worm. Worm in last pic.
