Just now catching my breath after a fantastic #SMBE2025 a few weeks back. I’m deeply grateful to the local organizers and to @official-smbe.bsky.social for the Graduate Student Excellence Award and for the chance to share my work. It was an honor to present among such brilliant researchers.

Really enjoyed your talk @averydb.bsky.social! I'd never considered that frequent transcription of tRNA genes would drive up the local mutation rate, but it makes sense in hindsight.

How do tRNAs evolve? Caenorhanditis species can help us answer this question.

I'm honored to receive the Graduate Student Excellence Award and excited to present my research in Beijing this summer!
👋 For the next two weeks, we will highlight our GSEA recipients - we start with Hannah Verdonk, Bioinformatics PhD student at @temple.edu
Hannah works on improving bioinformatic tools to account for weak selection on synonymous codon usage. 💻
