The big Y1000+ Project manuscript is finally published in Science magazine! Years of work with RokasLab, Dana A Opulente, The Lab LaBella, Marizeth Groenewald, the late Clete Kurtzman, and many others:

Do the mutations that drive evolution improve many traits or few? How might this change over the course of evolution? Excited to share our new work exploring these questions in the first 2 steps of adaptation w/ Yuping Li Gavin Sherlock Dmitri Petrov 💔 🧵1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

That amazing paper you spent years on? That amazing breakthrough you had? Very likely you built this following the work of others (very few exceptions), just as others will build off yours. Science is a continuum. Want to leave a lasting legacy in science? Be generous & be kind.

This is a reminder that I have an open PhD position in my group 🦋🐝🧬

Join us at Centre for Palaeogenetics and Department of Zoology to investigate the genomic consequences of pollinator declines by sequencing loads of historical specimens!

Deadline: 30th April

I’m starting a special interest group with monthly seminars + discussion focused on the role of mut in evo, covering #evobio #popgen #histsci #philsci

Upcoming speakers: Peter Lind Deepa Agashe Grey Monroe, Rose Novick, Alex Klug

Got to speak in a room with Darwin watching over me today. It’s the original painting The Linnean Society of London 😍

Happy to organize and announce a symposium on #polyploidization and methods to address their evolutionary consequences. Fantastic speakers that will visit us on 26th April 2024 in Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo! Save the date! It's free but registration is required at bit.ly/3IUx08O

Our Easter bread grew legs! Some monster yeast in that dough.

Just. Share. Your. Plasmids.

Enough with the MTAs. It's the age of synthesis. The material doesn't matter and all you are really doing is saving your peers time and money. The thing, once constructed, is an infinitely renewable resource. Just share it.

Don't be weird.

Thank you Biology, LU, I had a great time visiting yesterday, thanks for being wonderful hosts! Erik Svensson Anna Runemark Nathalie Feiner

New preprint from my PhD finally out! 🥳

It's official. Thanks to the MIRA grant, my lab gets to live to fight another day (or five years!). We are now actively recruiting. Spread the word, and reach out if you are interested in doing a postdoc with me. One position is available jointly with Terry Hwa's lab. Exciting!

Gianni and his team did it again, thanks for an amazing resource for us who work in yeast genomics and evolution and beyond!

#NordicOikos2024 Interested in seasonal camouflage adaptation in ptarmigan and grouse? Looking for students, postdocs, techs for new group at SciLifeLab and Department of Zoology. Come chat :)

super happy to share our latest work niceyeastlab on the evolution of shared alleles across yeast species led by Nicolò 🦖 (with Elena, Jonas, Anders Bergström) now in NatureEcoEvo: nature.com/articles/s4155…
super merci ANR Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale Région Sud

Never too late to finally put some of your forgotten PhD thesis out, right?! Now all of the (known) species of the #Podospora anserina species complex officially have a reference genome! Check it at GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution)! 1/n

Last night’s wishful doodle. Yeast on olive (greasy spot is souvlaki). #yeast #ecology #evolution #saccharomyces

If I was a yeast, I’d live on this oak tree by the waterfall #yeast #evolution #ecology 💦 🌳

My university has a partnership with the Navarino Environmental Observatory in Greece (Peloponnese). I’m taking bark samples from ancient olive trees and some prickly native oaks to see if we find any yeast in them. The best thing, I get to take the family!
