Update

G'day Ya'll.

I'm slowly settling into life as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at The University of Alabama and a curator of Invertebrate Zoology at the Alabama Museum of Natural History.

My lab is starting to take shape and I'm now looking for awesome grad students. Check out my lab webpage for more details:

In other news, I was quoted in Science on my take on work presented in a talk by Bill Brown from The University of Miami at Ctenopalooza. Traditionally everyone thought ctenophores have a one-way gut but it turns out that the anal pores really do function in defecation. The question is how many times did a 1-way gut evolve?

Back to writing papers and grants...
