Graduation is such a joy. Here are two new fish scientists, who know a bit more about fish behaviour and gene expression than they did this time last year (paper to follow I hope).

Two young men with graduation robes on, either side of a woman with more colourful robes on. They all look a bit proud.

Great morning of talks, followed by whiskey and salmon at Bushmills, can't argue with that. #FSBI2025

A man explains how salmon are caught and counted on a bridge. A group of about 8 scientists (most women) are listening.

A man holding a small net looks down into a pool, an adult salmon can be seen just breaching the surface of the water.

A group of people walk towards two white buildings, one labelled Smolt Trap and one labelled Adult Trap.

Tables in an old wood ceiling room, set up with whiskey for tasting with barrels in the background.

Wanted to add a #salmon to #phylopic and needed to remove the outline edge white pixels to make it solid black. Thought I'd try chatGPT. It didn't produce exactly what I wanted....

Having a celebratory beer by the Ness on a lovely evening, thinking about salmon and genomics. (Our loss is also your loss Leicester, sorry). #FailingUpwards #subtoot #AcademicChatter #RiverNess #Scotland

In Fiona's first chapter she used site frequency distributions to predict coral size structure in reefs, finding that environmental stress is likely to lead to reefs with fewer, larger corals. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com… #coral #GreatBarrierReef #CoralReefs

Are #corals moving to colder waters because of #climatechange? The answer is no, or not yet. High latitude corals and their symbiotic algae have been there for quite a long time, and are different to the ones in tropical reefs... Fiona Chong's tweets about her […] [Original post on fishsci.com]
