Oh also there’s potential for the work I’m doing to reveal a massive conservation bluder being actively made by government fish and wildfe management agencies here in the US. 😬 More to com...
Hm, I think I need a new header line for my tumblr. I think I can call myself a systematic ichthyologist now. I’m not really an “ichthyologist in the making” anymore, though I’m still lea...
All my deadlines are fast approaching. 💀 I need to get my proposal formally submitted by next week, then be done with the whole actual thesis by the end of the month. Defend early June. Conf...

I kind of want to be a tumblr again.

I visited a nearby city and stopped in a fish store that had four “species” of Parosphromenus (one undescribed, under a trade name). I couldn’t just leave, so I took home the pair they ha...
The older I’ve gotten, the sicker I’ve gotten, and the more I’ve had to work to advocate for myself because of the limitations of my illness. I’ve had to come to terms with recognizing my...

Another dumb epiphany today: I really love loaches but have never kept any in aquaria because I love catfishes more and don’t want to crowd the substrate area/have the catfishes constantly pe...
Not what I am supposed to be doing today, but I am pouring though literature on my dissertation topic and it feels like an absolute breath of fresh air. After a terrible semester putting everythi...
