The SQuEACs lab has been busy since #SICB2025 writing papers, making posters, and scanning more things. Sometimes it’s nice to get out to nature though.

Megan Hostetter taught #SICB2025 yesterday about the central nervous system of the river frog tadpole and how its development may be altered from exposure to heavy metals.

So proud of the SQuEACs lab this week at #SICB2025. Yesterday, Sofia Barajas presented on evolution and variation in the PAX6 gene of gnathostomes. Fish and amphibians are doing some crazy things!

#SICB2025 ever wonder how heavy metals alter DNA in wild populations of frogs? Come see Rafa Rios’s poster today!

#SICB2025 is coming up! the SQuEACs lab is making talks and posters! Here's a glimpse at some of the awesome work done by my veterinary student, Megan, who is describing variation in #brain morphology among wild populations of Lithobates #tadpoles.

Phoenix #desertbotanicalgarden had an amazing holiday light event tonight (and all month) full of live music, dance and art. Truly a wonderful experience.

My first watermelon of the season (and ever actually )! It was sweet but not overly so and full of seeds for next year 💕 this is a crimson sweet watermelon. Seeds from Native Seeds www.nativeseeds.org/products/ts263

I’ve studied inter and intraspecific variation in endocasts shape and size across #carnivorans as it relates to environmental variables. This lovely endocast was generated by my research assistant Dominik Valdez of Lontra canadensis.

Escaped to the wilderness for a bit. #camping is the best way to reset.

Calling all #SICB2025 attendees!! If you use #CT in your research or are wanting to, check out the #workshop hosted by Paul Gignac and me. We'll be focusing on not only how to generate data but how to make it accessible, reproducible, and reusable to others. #FAIR www.xcdsystem.com/sicb/program...
