The recent PhD review suggested that govt. funded PhD stipends are increased to 25K from September. Despite contacting the SFI and IRC multiple times, we've been met with radio silence. HELP us break this silence by signing the petition below. my.uplift.ie/petitions/dema…

Our most recent publication on the #genetics of #crocodiles is out! Here we use SNPs to show that populations in the region of #Calakmul in #Mexico are rather unafected by hybridization, despite being surrounded by areas where admixture has previously been documented. #SciComm
