Last week, I spent 5 days at the NHM, London, IDing deep sea fish and generally gawping at ichthyological oddities. I must confess, though, that I had an ulterior motive. In this thread I'm going tell you the whole story and show you the single coolest fish I've ever found! 1/

Associate Editor pain: You've just used up almost all of your ideas / contacts sending review requests for a MS, and feeling pretty good about it.. and another MS comes in on almost *excatly* the same topic...
Our new paper on coastal #pike #ecotypes led by @RittwegTimo and with @clivetrue in Oecologia is out link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Dissertation on Baltic pike printed by @RittwegTimo. A special moment after 4+ years. Looks like it emerged from my shirt. Very proud supervisor! But still has to be submitted and defended. So now Dr. Rittweg yet.
I have learned that Keith Hobson's appreciation lecture (with Len Wassenaar's introduction) was recorded and is available online. They both knew it would be his last. youtube.com/watch?v=svTPjw…
The isotope world has lost a giant. Just two months ago, I had the honor of seeing Keith Hobson at #IsoEcol2024, pictured below delivering his lecture. Keith has been the driving force behind a transformative body of research and was a generous mentor to so many.

This is terribly, sad news. Keith was not only a pioneer and an isotope guru, but also a generous warm, funny and overall lovely person to be around, and a big part of what made stable isotope ecology a lovely place to be part of. Raising several glasses to you tonight, Keith
Fellow isotopists, I have just learned that Keith Hobson has passed away. I can’t possibly express how sad I feel. Keith was such a great person and scientist. He turned stable isotope based methods into one the most important and influential tools in ecology research. RIP Keith.
Juvenile #bass sampling with our buddies @Roseboardman4 & @clivetrue! We are taking low numbers of these awesome fish to compare body condition between areas & to build chemical maps so we can tell where the adult fish grew up to allow more targeted protection & restoration 🐟
Exciting 3-y postdoc opportunity @helsinkiuni ‼️ I am seeking a postdoc with expertise in molecular and/or experimental food web ecology to study coastal food web responses to marine heatwaves ➡️Postdoc: jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Tv%C3%A4rm… Please share this post‼️
