That's me checking the JFB system in the hope of a sudden update on my manuscript.

Hi hive mind - can you help me figure out documents need to be completed to have some fin tissues (dried fin clips and otoliths. Not a listed species) couriered to us from the USA please? My brain shuts down when I start trying to understand the customs website #FishSci

Acknowledgments section (sneak peek): "Discussion on size- and sex-bias in taxonomy was greatly improved by a debate with #FishTwitter members such as Adam Summers, Kassandra Ford, Kent Sorgon, Prosanta Chakrabarty, Todd Clardy, and Yi-Kai Tea." https://t.co/D4ozfe9NaI (PDF)

We discover more variation in addition to known patterns in Stellifer punctatissimus. Using this study case, we discuss sex- and size-bias as a main driver of taxonomical mistakes, in sciaenids and other groups. Such discussion was greatly improved by #FishTwitter teamwork.

I am coming back after a long hiatus. Sharing that one of the reasons to stay out is finally published. Work developed over 7 years while I moved from my hometown to João Pessoa then back home for six months before making it to Rio de Janeiro. 🧵

I repeat this every single time a manuscript comes back for review.

New paper 🎉 I'm happy to share that our paper "Different roles of the Amazon-Orinoco barrier on the genetic structure of two sardine genera from the Western Atlantic Ocean" was published in @HYDR_Springer . Read and share here: https://t.co/qqhM3Iuj0e https://t.co/sscGbcSw59

Reviewer, if you are reading this, please know that ~ 7 years of working and publishing in a group is more than enough to support taxonomic ID that you don't even give a fuck about. XOXO

Just received the decision on THAT MS that gave me a lot of pain and expenses. It's sad when you realize how there are still some people who use their position (as reviewers) to invalidate YEARS of learning.

It took me too long to realize that it was most likely a result of high pressure from several works, trips, and personal stuff. I planned this year to spread out the triggers of sickness, but I'm not sure this is enough.

I've been postponing this a lot. I noticed a pattern in recent years. Starting the year sick (COVID, migraine...) and mentally exhausted. I felt weird after submitting a revision to an MS on December 29th. After January 1st it got even worse.

Tem uma coisa muito curiosa que só quem é preto sabe: se você fala com educação em uma discussão sempre dizem que você tá debochando, sendo arrogante. Daí se fala alto tu é agressivo. Não dá pra ter razão nunca.

Have you ever considered improve or starting your Portuguese skills? I recommend these individual classes by Elizabeth, you can even talk fishy stuff because she is also ichthyologist. RT to help her.

We're hiring! <°°)))>< Interested in deep-sea fish and their eyes? In molecular evolution? We look for a PhD student to join our team in Prague. ERC funding for the single-cell transcriptomics. https://t.co/p9EMj3WUAI (postdocs wanted too, stay tuned). Happy for retweets!😍 thks

From point A to C in about 15 hours by bus. I'll need a full day to recover 😩 Next stop: Feira de Santana (my hometown; left corner). I'll post soon a recap from the lastest days in João Pessoa.

João Pessoa 😍

Boarding to an one-month trip back to northeastern Brazil. Overwhelmed by work but can't wait for this awesome trip to get started.

Hello everyone! I was invited to give an interview for the Sphyrnas blog and be one of their Sharkfluencers. Read here: https://t.co/IZAHjhbB8o

DAMN!!!! KENDRICK IS ABSOLUTELY GOAT! What a experience! He killed it! And a plus - Thundercat sharing stage with him for the first time EVER. Although they didn't sing together was really great be there.

What a treat! I got to visit the Fish Market here in Santos, guided by @IngridHyrycena. Next time I will buy some, we were just looking and trying to ID everything in there hahaha
