Just a quick reminder that PhD applications to work on this funded project are due Dec 1. If you're interested please feel free to reach out to me.
I am excited to announce our @NSF grant has been funded to study the evolution and diversification of N American minnows, including genomics/phylogenomics and comparative phylogenetic methods.
This includes funds for a postdoc and PhD student! If interested, please reach out!
A wonderful first day at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany. Seeing how polar aquaculture can be accomplished and meeting such a large group of polar marine biologists is amazing. Thanks to Felix Mark for hosting me. #WhereInTheWorldIsKUBiology

Professor Andrew Forbes (@Lord_Forbington), PhD, has been awarded an NSF grant titled, “How do gall-forming insects escape diverse and evolving clades of parasitic wasps - and how do parasites catch up?”! 🎉 The grant is for 4 years in the amount of $898,359.

As a reminder I'm searching for a PhD student interesting in working on our NSF-funded project on minnow evolution and diversification. I made a post to EvolDir:
Fwd: Graduate position: UIllinois.FishEvolutionGenomics ift.tt/fysIGU4
Finally made a lab website. Only been putting that off for 4 years. Excited for the things to come and to start working with a pretty cool group of people.

My photo was rejected for my ID card because it was “not a photo of me”. I had to explain I’m just old now compared to my driver’s license.

Happy to release Stacks v2.67 today. This release updates process_radtags to make it easier to use SRA data and to filter poly-G (error) runs coming from Nextseq/Novaseq machines + bugfixes. We also added a genotype depth filter to populations #RADseq

Multiple sessions on #mitochondria at the #SEBConference. Definitely enjoying cosplaying as a “real” physiologist. #datascience #genomics
First time attending #SEBConference.
It has been a minute since I attended a large meeting. Will I learn my lesson from #Evolution and just pick a session and stay put or hop around like a maniac for 8 hours?
Looking for a postdoc? Check out this great position from @jsharbro. Friend and collaborator for almost 15 years. I could not more highly recommend learning from him. Also, this snowflower project is SO COOL. #postdocjob #postdoctoral #genomics

Where do you post job announcements?
SACNAS, GSA, and others all assume I have $500 to spend for a few weeks on their job boards.
I want to reach applicants but so far have not found many viable options. #help

Happy to share our recent work in @NatureAging We systematically investigated the evolutionary rate covariation of mito-nuclear genomes in 472 insects and identified a new nuclear gene that may regulate longevity across animals. A 🧵 ctt.ac/9dUhd+
Wishing I was all moved in and could attend! 😭

While we wait for traps to fill with stickleback why not learn more about coastal ecology from @lillian_aoki So fun being in the field with other ocean scientists with different expertise. #WomenInSTEM #ScienceCommunication
