Check out our new paper, where we use a system of parallel evolution combined with a MAGIC population to help uncover the genetic architecture of an adaptive trait! 🧬🌼🍃 A thread 🧵👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

"lever" mechanism of a Salvia flower for depositing pollen

Super excited to head to #TAGC24 this week! I'm presenting on ancient balanced mating type polymorphisms in walnuts and hickories in the session "Sex Differences in Biology and Disease" on Friday morning. It's gonna be nuts.

First paper from my dissertation got published today :) Looking at how the scale of ancestry variation along the genome in hybrid populations contains information about past evolutionary forces pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Congratulations to Carl Veller on the publication of his article on confounding in population and family GWAS PLOS Biology journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

A few days ago I tweeted about cognitive dissonance and Palestine. The tweet got quite a bit of hate, but for the rest of us, here are some thoughts about how teaching Palestine at a *public* university when a *popular* university appears in the quad.

seriously surprised how many scientific papers on sex determination still use blue and pink color for male and female in the figures

#SMBE2024 off to a great start - spotted a group of military macaws yesterday. exciting program, welcome reception snacks and mariachi band A++. My poster 'Distinct ancient structural polymorphisms control heterodichogamy in walnuts and hickories' is in poster session 3 on Wed
