Last week was a blast! Attending the @evoltree.bsky.social - @forgenius-eu.bsky.social conference hosted by INIA CSIC on "Integrative Diversity of Forest Ecosystems" was unforgettable.

Rejection is the norm: During the summer I had two unsuccessful fellowship applications.
Writing up another one and looking for postdocs as plan B…. I still put all my hopes and can’t help but imagine myself in the positions I apply to!

Second fellowship application submitted :) we will see! Then we had a little adventure 🌳🌲

How exciting, I just submitted my first application for a research proposal and fellowship @royalsociety.org #NewtonInternationalFellowship
Fingers crossed!

OK who's ready for some science?
Do you like speciation? Genomics? Hybridization? Bioinformatics? Then this is for you:
Published today: "The Distribution & Dispersal of Large Haploblocks in a Superspecies"
Bonus interest if you like ring species and cute greenish birds:

I am looking for a Postdoc (2 years, start Spring 2025) with strong bioinfo. skills to work on herring adaptation to climate change at @naturhistoriska
The project will use modern + aDNA, climate data, SDM and genomic simulations.
