Tuesday at #SICB2026 is packed 🐾🌊
A full day of talks and posters that we close out with the SICB Member Meeting and a DCB/DVM/DEDB social 🎉
📣 Presenting today? Tag us so we can hype your work!
🦦 If you're attending SICB 2026, don't miss my team’s presentations exploring how the cranial morphology of otters and other mustelids reflects how they move, sense, and survive in their environment.
#SICB2026
The countdown begins… ⏰
Sunday at #SICB2026 is already STACKED!
🗂️ Whether you’ve built your itinerary or you’re still deciding, we’ve got you covered with these at-a-glance schedules.

More at-a-glance posts coming soon 👀
NSF PDs will be @sicb.bsky.social.
Stop by booth 308 if you would like to sign up to chat with us or catch us in the conference center.
Informal workshop and Q and A session, Sunday Jan 4th from 12:15 to 1:15 in B110/111. #SICB2026.
A powerpoint slide entitled "Radiation in jaw morphology of early ray-finned fishes after the Late Devonian extinction".
Tomorrow at 11am is my #SICB2026 talk on early ray-finned fishes! Come by and see all the cool fossils we've CT scanned. Track me down during the rest of the conference to see some 3D printed jaws.....
DIZ rep Will starting us out with the Student and First Timers Orientation!

Studying animal behavior in the field is often hindered by environmental variability and the high cost or inaccessibility of monitoring equipment. This symposium will highlight the development and application of low-cost, open-source sensing technologies—such as Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, and 3D-printable tools—for automated environmental data collection in both lab and field settings. By bringing together interdisciplinary researchers, we aim to explore how these tools can increase accessibility, enhance replicability, and support large-scale behavioral and ecological studies. Discussions will emphasize their role in monitoring environmental change and biodiversity, as well as their potential to bridge engineering-focused and field-based approaches within the SICB community.
Not long now til #SICB 's annual meeting!

Slide with a very bad phylogeny of Paleozoic fishes. Its basically a rake.
Preview of my #SICB2026 talk on early fish jaws. Paleozoic ray-finned fish systematics is a mess. Someone should really work on that😅
New paper out today in @royalsocietypublishing.org Biology Letters, led by undergrad superstar Laina Weiss! An experimental test of theory on the effects of temperature and resources on carrying capacity. So proud 🥹 tinyurl.com/yvmzmt9a @integrativebiology.bsky.social
Hey SICB, this is a great time to remind you about an open position at Loyola University Chicago that combines the biology of sex with the humanities and social sciences. If you are interested and have questions, please let me know. The app. deadline is Jan. 1.

Share this widely! You do not have to be a SICB member to submit a design.
We can't wait to see your designs!
First place will receive a $100 Visa gift card. Second and third place will each receive a $50 Visa card. All placed winners will also receive a copy of their winning sticker. Prizes can be mailed to the winner or picked up at the SPDAC booth during SICB 2026.
Attachments of your design should be a PDF or high quality PNG file (at least 600 dpi).
All designs will be judged by your peers on the SPDAC Committee (sicb.org/student-post...).
