So so happy to see the first paper of my post-doc with Yi-Jyun Luo out in Molecular Biology and Evolution (and on the cover!). We found that earthworm and leech genomes are shuffled like a deck of cards 🃏 compared to their marine relatives. Link here -> doi.org/10.1093/molbev…

#ERGAReads | Reason for hope: This week, we highlight a global meta-analysis on the impact of #conservation. In two-thirds of cases, conservation efforts either improved the state of #biodiversity or at least slowed its decline. 🌎🌍🌏 #Genomes for #Biodiversity Science Magazine

Nice photo, but no, "Science"! That is not Aedes aegypti -- it is Aedes albopictus. Seems to me that "Science" magazine ought to identify its mosquitoes correctly!science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
