My first read for 2020! And it’s an optimistic start: small isolated guppy populations gain fitness & genetic diversity from gene flow, without losing locally-adaptive alleles.

Finished updating list of ~450 summer undergraduate research programs. Undergrads interested in paid summer research experience this summer 2020, it's never too early to apply!

“The Geometry and Genetics of Hybridization” -- a thread: How much can we learn from patterns of hybrid fitness? Let’s use a fitness landscape models to generate some predictions and see how they depend on the process of divergence (1/n)

What does evolution look like? We developed a rebarcoding approach to observe the travelling wave of adaptation at extremely high resolution. See short summaries by co-authors , in the lab of . Read the paper here:

UCDavis hasn’t been paying their student employees for over TWO months.This is extremely illegal.Once we started voicing this issue to the entire campus,ABC News,&protesting, they started to publically apologize to us.Yet, we still have no money&their sorrys ain’t paying our rent

What a cliff hanger from BAPG talk! Waiting to hear if knocking out cdtB genes (co-opted through HGT from bacteria into flies!) will make them more vulnerable to parasitoid wasps. Place your best now! I'm team wasp :)

Hey look! ’s paper on biotic interactions and local adaptation in teosinte made the cover! Photo (by Anna) of a population of teosinte growing on the Aztec ruins of Cuauhtinchanjust above the town of Malinalco. 1/2

I heard 's ‘free expression’ speech, in which he referenced my father. I'd like to help Facebook better understand the challenges faced from disinformation campaigns launched by politicians. These campaigns created an atmosphere for his assassination.

Hello scientist friends! If we set -80C freezers to -70C, it saves 30% energy & prolongs compressor life, w minimal sample issues. Consider chilling up!

Pretty!! Your carrot art reminds me of Andy Goldsworthy :) If I wanted to dig up a carrot landrace, where should I go?

I am excited to see what Booker, Yeaman, and Whitlock have to say about global adaptation and how it can impact our inference of local adaptation.
