While our feed is usually about lab accomplishments, we are deeply saddened to share the sudden and unexpected passing of Postdoctoral Researcher Carlos Garita-Alvarado. Carlos was a postdoctoral researcher in our lab and Eric Palkovacs’s lab. He joined us in January 2025 and brought to the labs his love of fish biology. He was interested in fish evolution and aquatic ecology, especially the selective pressures underlying morphological and behavioral diversification in freshwater fish.
