Hi! I’m a postdoc working on arthropod epigenetics, now based University of Leicester. I’ll be tweeting about work from The University of Edinburgh: sex-specific expression and DNA methylation in a species with extreme sexual dimorphism and paternal genome elimination. #pgg55 #pggflash #pgg55flash




Thanks! and a big thank you to the organisers of #pgg55 for the terrific job they did. I was also really impressed by the quality of talks and the level of enthusiasm on show throughout! Population Genetics Group




I'm a postdoc HiLIFE_Helsinki University of Helsinki interested in why individuals vary; how does life history evolution operate across environments, & what physiological mechanisms underlie this? Currently🦋, prev.🦌🐘 #WomenInScience #WomenInScienceHelsinki #WeAreHelsinkiUni #minätutkin


Also, with this great cover image thanks to Emma Curran


We've known that #genetics and #epigenetics are linked in many ways, but how far can you see this in nature? Here is what we learned from #sticklebacks. Cheers @kalchhauser and Toni Gossmann biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Famous authors more likely to be published (6 times more likely!), so clearly double blind peer review is the way to go. By how do we reconcile that with preprints? One has to go? Anonymous preprints? #OpenScience Nicola Jones Stefan Palan 🏳️🌈 nature nature.com/articles/d4158…
