Team fish - we need your help! We are trying to build a database of all the fish chromosome-scale genomes where sex chromosomes have been identified. Have you build one or some? Do you know someone who has? Can you post the link in the comments? Please spread the word and repost! Thank you!

As it's grant rejection time in Sweden too, all in one week and in the midst of a very dark November no less, this will certainly resonate with many more. And yes! Academic institutions should check (extra!) on their researchers right now, so many of us are not okay! #AcademicSky #mentalhealth
