ALT Results overview of our flagship LA River project made by over a dozen organizations.
ALT Display or organism list showing frequency of samples in a project with the organism detected.
Only two more days to take this survey. Please help me assess who needs help in the international science and education community. Thanks!
Our pre-print is up on molecular bioindicators of invasive crayfish! Lead author @kballare , coauthored by several students, lab techs, and faculty in @CALeDNA_biodiv and coauthored by our amazing manager collaborator, Ginny Short of #cnlm biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Really cool-looking PhD position on computational phylogenetics is open at @uni_copenhagen, with ties to @UCBerkeley. The project is developing methods for analysing the evolution of whole shapes, and not points, along the phylogeny. Super exciting!
