#SICB2021 Did you encounter any of these difficulties when making your talk? @KendraMaclaine introduces the 5 struggles of making a SICB virtual talk (great to keep in mind for future virtual conferences and with a bit of humor) :)👍 youtu.be/lOssN8cKmos #biologists

My first project with Havird Lab! The preprint discusses mtDNA selection within and between Polg mice. Check it out!

Lower organelle copy numbers may result in less-efficient double-stranded break repair in Silene (+others) due to a lack of templates. Grad SICB Division of Botany research from @KendraMaclaine to check out on SICB+! #SICB2022 SICB PUI #iamabotanist sicb2022.pathable.co/meetings/virtu…

It was really cool to be a part of this project!! Looooots of pipetting and cell counting 😅. Dr. Caitlin Friesen and Hofmann Lab were amazing to work with and tackled some really complex questions.

Went to Hualalai and Waikoloa today for 🦐 and microbes 🦠. Students had to feed a spotted eagle ray first...

We’re proud to announce the winners of our inaugural CNS Mentoring Excellence Award, which honors outstanding mentorship of graduate students & postdoctoral researchers: • Caroline Farrior • Justin Havird • Fatima Varner @CarolineFarrior Havird Lab @ProfFV

Anytime I talk about extreme rate variation in plant mtDNA evolution, people ask why some lineages evolve fast. Kendra Zwonitzer took that personally. Her paper out today @PNAS offers some evidence for one possibility. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

New research led by UT Austin Ph.D. student Kendra Zwonitzer solves a mystery as to why mitochondria in some plants evolve faster than others 🌱 @Texas_IB Havird Lab UTCNS Grad Education @UTGradSchool #PlantScience #UTAustin cns.utexas.edu/news/research/…

Our lab is in Hawaii again! This time our anchialine research program is geared towards shrimp genetics, gut microbiomes, microbial ecology, and eDNA. New grad students are seeing the habitats for the first time and we're having a blast with local collaborators. 🤙🦐
