  1. Thriving Antarctic Ecosystems Found in Wake of Recently Detached Iceberg schmidtocean.org/thriving-anta

    "team on board #SchmidtOceanInstitute’s R/V Falkor (too) rapidly pivoted their research plans to study an area that was, until last month, covered by ice... they observed the #DeepSea for 8 days and found flourishing ecosystems at depths as great as 1300m. Their observations include large #corals and #sponges supporting an array of animal life, including #icefish, giant #SeaSpiders, and #octopus"

  2. Tomorrow I'm going to be doing a dry-run upgrading and migrating bofh.social and queerfedi.com over to #Sharkey and #Icefish (going to run both). But doing the #migration/ #upgrade in a #StagingEnvironment first to document the procedures and to make sure there aren't any gotchas.

  3. Our most recent work has just been published early access in MBE.

    Very excited to see this in print -- it represents more than five years of work from my lab and includes all of my students!

    In, "Genomics of Secondarily Temperate Adaptation in the Only Non-Antarctic Icefish" we describe a new chromosome-level genome assembly for Champsocephalus esox, the *only* #icefish outside Antarctic waters.

    The study was led by my student (and now postdoc) Angel Rivera-Colón.

  4. Not much going on... Yet.
    I prefer to #IceFish without these things. They make me impatient. But kids like them.

  5. And finally, I went to the lake in my neighborhood to watch folks #IceFish and take in the scenery.

  10. Icefishes are incredible and highly adapted to extreme cold (no haemoglobin or red blood cell). They form huge colonies with millions of nests, as the one discovered in Weddel sea. #science #biology #ecology #fish #icefish #polar
