This year we donated 3 pieces to #JMIH2025 SSAR/HL auction for student travel grants & donated $300 to groups in Atlanta (Tnx #SICB2025). The website needs work, but you can read about it at BlueBeehiveStudio.com, “the Studio, DEI & Impact”. In December we’ll do another donation too! #Botany2025
Shark research poster at conference
I'm Ara, I attended my first-ever #JMIH2025 where I presented my M.S. research via poster in Carcharias taurus site fidelity, seasonality, and fish associates in NC. 🦈
My B.S. in Ecology is from App State (2015). I worked as an aquarist and researcher for Spot A Shark USA before my M.S. from CCU.
Hi everyone! New to BlueSky. This was my first time at #JMIH2025 and wow! I had a great time and learned SO much. I hope so everyone again next year 🦈
Also, maybe I'll make it to Monster Jam some time😁
Phew! It has been a busy week at #JMIH2025. I gave a talk on mako vertebral column mechanics, attended a board meeting, a speed networking event, and repped a committee for the meritorious teaching award. Thanks to everyone for making it an amazing meeting.

Sorry I haven’t been posting today for #JMIH2025. Today was day 1 of 2 full days of the our “Know Better, Do Better” workshop series! Really powerful conversations in a very fraught time, and I’m so grateful for the JMIH societies for stepping up when our funding was yanked.
Huge thanks to all of our presenters in the #ASIHin3D symposium at #JMIH2025! Especially my xo-organizer @fishyhayes.bsky.social and strict but fair moderator Cori Black!!

Explore the Visual Elements series, recommended by Adam Ruben from Science: “Frankel has made a name for herself by helping scientists augment their work with pictures that capture, represent, and communicate science.” Learn more here: press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/se.... #JMIH2025
Hey #JMIH2025 attendees, there is an event at a brewery in MPLS that might be of interest.

Proud of my students Aimee and Spencer for presenting their fossil fish work at #JMIH2025 #JMIH25 in St. Paul.
Earth Day Series Five book covers on a purple background, starting in the top left going clockwise: Flower Day, Tree Day, Mushroom Day, Bird Day, Frog Day.
At #JMIH2025? Explore our Earth Day series and discover the lives of flowers, trees, and mushrooms in 24 hours. As recommended by the Wall Street Journal, “Gardeners will appreciate something new to read during their breaks from weeding.” Learn more: press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/se....
For anyone who came to see my talk this morning at #JMIH2025 (thank you!), if you are interested in my work in more depth, keep an eye out over the next few months! Eric Gangloff and I have been hard at work on our manuscript, and we hope to submit to Functional Ecology later this month!
Chris Lowe is talking about human interactions near beaches in California - fascinating tidbit was that shark bite stories stay in the news linger during beach season than when a bite happens during fall/winter #AES2025 #JMIH2025
Hey #JMIH2025, interested in temperature-dependent sex determination? Come to my talk at 1:30 today, right at the beginning of session 18!
If you are at #JMIH2025 check out Dellen's fascinating work on red-backed salamanders that addresses some fundamental questions in natural history and thermal physiology!!
Dellen just wrapped up a post bacc in the Gangloff lab and will be sorely missed but we're all excited for what comes next 🎉
Great first day at #JMIH2025! So many incredible presenters. Feeling very lucky to be in a position to attend a conference like this. Having a scientific community really is something special.
If you’re here, catch my talk tomorrow morning in Physiology I about eastern red-back thermal bio!
Two signs on a brick wall. One is the National Park Service logo, and the other reads “Mississippi River Visitor Center”

I spied the National Parks Service logo from the #JMIH2025 venue. Turns out there’s a nice little NPS visitor center in the lobby of the science museum across the street. Got my NPS passport stamp, enjoyed the center, and then took a few minutes to gaze at the mighty Mississippi.
Hlavin talking about DNA metabarcoding for diet in tiger sharks, and opportunistically collected tiger shark vomit because that’s a thing that happens 🤢
Gross, but so useful for dietary work!

Mullins just gave a great talk on bull shark nurseries in Mobile Bay….turns out nursery habitats are not static and should be continuously assessed. #jmih2025 #aes2025
Convening Science book covers on a blue background; left to right: How Does Germline Regenerate, Crossing the Boundaries of Life, Can Microbial Communities Regenerate?

I didn’t know cownose rays could venture into low salinity! Cool stuff from Ashley Dawdy!

Text says "Science in 3D!!" in an extruded font to make it look more three-dimensional. The ASIH logo is in the middle, a shield with "Ichthys, Batrachos, Erpeton" in Greek letters, flanked by a seahorse on the left and a lizard on the right. There is drop shadow under the logo to make it look more 3D.
If you're at #JMIH2025 on Saturday, make sure to stop by the ASIH-sponsored symposium I'm hosting with @fishyhayes.bsky.social -- #ASIHin3D! We have morphological and ecological talks from a 3D perspective on fish and herps from microscopic to global scales!!!
Started #JMIH2025 with an excellent keynote by @amphibs.bsky.social who noted that, when environments are challenging, metapopulation connectivity can provide the support to keep going, whether we’re taking about unisexual salamanders or academic research!
#JMIH2025
I am excited to give this talk on Saturday, followed by the workshop on Sunday! See ya'll there 🐢🦈
She also encouraged #JMIH2025 attendees to attend the formerly NSF funded (cut by the fed - now funded by JMIH societies like ASIH) “Know Better, Do Better: A workshop for those striving towards allyship"

The wonderful @kassthefish.bsky.social starting off the Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists #jmih25 #jmih2025 in St.Paul, Minnesota.
She recognized the tribal lands we are meeting on and the impacts of #blacklivesmatter on this city.
