Extremely disappointed to see HHMI decide to kill their Inclusive Excellence program, including terminating the current IE3 awards to over a hundred institutions effective this year in the middle of a 6-year grant. I was hoping HHMI (and other private funders) would continue to lead the way.

I am ecstatic to share that I have accepted the Assistant Member and Principal Investigator position at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis, MO!

The Conover Lab will open June 1, 2025, and will be broadly interested in polyploid evolutionary genomics.
