I recently returned from MBL where we had our first HFSP grant (PIs) meeting. We're super excited about this project and I'm looking for another postdoc to work on walking biomechanics -- check the lab webpage and contact me if you are interested! www.valentinadisanto.com/join-the-team #dothelocomotion #biomechanics #fishsci #postdocjobs #fishphysiology
@kacorn 🤯 going to have to read this one in a lab meeting!
One of the papers I'm most excited about right now is newly in press at Functional Ecology!
Darien Satterfield & coauthors upend a paradigm cited thousands of times in the fish community and show that body shape does NOT constrain routine swimming in reef fishes!

Check out the amazing movie poster Darien made for her paper: 😍 😂 🐟 🎥 She's not on mastodon yet, but you can find her on twitter @/DiverDarien -- give her a follow!
@Pat yes absolutely
🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
Have you ever caught and released a #fish and wondered what happens after? Are you interested in how body parts work together? Do you think #sunfish are special and are more than just bait? Then this one is for you!
We make the best of a bad situation and discover something new about fish form and function - fin damage from human capture doesn't decrease prey capture success, but does make kinematics less different among individuals! We suspect this can be bad for competitive ability. Effects may be stronger in populations than individuals.

Hi there! 👋 I'm a professor at University of Louisiana at Lafayette and my research lab studies #fish #evolutionary #biomechanics. I also like #SciArt, #photography, being #outdoors, #dogs, and #food. Follow along to learn about what me and my lab are up to!
