Here’s a very cool method that could help increase taxonomic & phylogenetic understanding of arthropods (& probably any organism) by improving on DNA barcoding only: multiplexed multi-locus long-amplicon sequencing with Oxford @Nanopore MinION, showcased here with spiders 🕷️👇

Very excited to share my first paper is out! 🎉 We explore the evolution of the multiple eye pairs in spiders🕷️(cell.com/current-biolog…) Couldn’t have done it without to the mentorship of the brilliant Lauren Sumner-Rooney!

Super thrilled and honored to be awarded the AAS Norman Platnick Award this year! It is very inspiring to be recognized for the hard work I have done with Schizomids and Mygalomorphs, can't thank enough the American Arachnological Society and Marshal Hedin for nominating me!

For anyone learning or teaching bioinformatics, or if you’re interested in getting started, you may like to check out some of many (>404!) detailed tutorials for the Galaxy bioinformatics platform, from microbiome analysis to chloroplast assembly, at training.galaxyproject.org/training-mater… 👇

If you are at #Evol2024 and are interested in diversification models and/or spiders, come see my talk today in the room 516C at 2:30pm. I will present our approach to test the influence of trait on the speciation completion in a protracted speciation model.

Pulque! Bebida de los Dioses! #CDMX

Now that we're entering faculty job season, I want to reshare my ✨job search advice doc✨. It compiles all the super helpful advice I received from mentors & includes my own experiences on the market. Best of luck out there, everyone - you got this! 💪 helpimascientist.com/wp-content/upl…

Pretty cool game!

Visiting one of the most important collections of cave Arachnids! The Texas Memorial Museum, now hosted by the University of Texas at Austin, lots of awesome specimens! Aracnideos 

“Soy madre, abuela, científica y mujer de fe, y a partir de hoy, por voluntad del pueblo de México, la presidenta Constitucional de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos”. La emoción a flor de piel: un país que ya nunca más será sin nosotras.

I found this Phidippus audax in my backyard, why not share her beauty as part of #AracnOctubre #Arachtober?

El 12 de octubre no es el día de la raza ni de la hispanidad. Cristóbal Colón descubrió América para los europeos, pero en nuestro continente y en particular en lo que hoy llamamos México, ya había grandes civilizaciones y culturas de las cuales nos sentimos orgullosas y
