PhD or Master's position available for Fall 2026!

Interested in how actin drives cell crawling, eating, dividing, or osmoregulation? What about pathogenesis of a brain-eating amoeba? Or eukaryotic evolution? If so, apply through my website: katrinavelle.wixsite.com/science/cont...
Please share!

Late to the party, but I'm so excited about the first paper from our lab: ✨Unique genetic bases of repeated life-history divergence associated with high altitude adaptation in Mimulus perennials ✨

This work was led by the ABSOLUTE ROCKSTAR Hongfei Chen!

The Church Evolution Laboratory (CEL@NYU) will be official as of Sep 1st: shchurch.github.io. We are recruiting at all levels, including a postdoc to work on evolutionary patterns and processes via comparative genomics in Hawaiian Drosophila. Please share widely!

My feather cell type paper is finally out! doi.org/10.1111/ede.... We’ve packed a ton of stuff into this paper but I’ll go through some highlights in this thread!

This collaboration was so much fun!! I’m excited to see it online! www.cell.com/trends/genet...

I had an amazing time for the last couple of weeks teaching at the @instaar.bsky.social Mountain Research Station in Colorado! It was such a pleasure to work with a great group of students in a beautiful place! Thank you so much @drscottataylor.bsky.social for the opportunity and all the support!

Tomorrow at Evolution 2025 I would be presenting my poster about Mitonuclear incompatibilities between two swordtails species! This is a work I been working on for my bachelor thesis project tutored by @mollyschumer.bsky.social
Come to Poster A4 to learn more about it!

The BSA is using reserve funds to support this year's cohort, who are in the middle of making travel plans for the summer's Botany meetings.

If you are able, please donate to the Human Diversity Fund - $ raised will be used to help support this program moving forward. crm.botany.org/makeadonation

The genomic imprint of chromosomal inversions and demographic history in island populations of deer mice https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.18.649517v1

Super cool!! We will definitely add this!

I feel honored that our work: "On the origin of an insular hybrid butterfly lineage" was picked as "Editor's choice" and that my picture of a mating couple (🧡🤎) covers the latest issue of Evolution @journal-evo.bsky.social. Link to paper: academic.oup.com/evolut/artic... (1/8)

Do you need to build up your computational toolkit, but you’re also jealous of your field-oriented colleagues who get to go to beautiful places? Now you can do both! Come join us for Bioinformatics in the Mountains!

Join us at the Mountain Research Station this summer!

No, at least not PRFBs.

If you know anyone who might be interested in working as a technician before a PhD, I'm looking for someone to work with me to generate some amazing data to understand the genetics of behavior, sex differences, and reproduction in an evolutionary context. Bonus? Amazing and supportive department!

Thanks! I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!

I am so excited to share the advance online version of our new paper "Do genetic loci that cause reproductive isolation in the lab inhibit gene flow in nature?" Bret and I really enjoyed thinking about these ideas and we hope others find the discussion useful!

Over the🌙 to share our accepted article, lead by rockstar @Hagar_k_Soliman 👩‍🎤. We really had to stretch our plant-minded brains in this one- a very fun exploration into mammals, plants, and conflict! 🌺🐁Thanks for the opportunity, @theAGA_org!
