Congrats to Crystal Lara-Santos on this incredible honor!!!! #GilliamFellows #pittbiosci

The Stephenson lab of disease ecology and evolutionary parasitology led by Jess Stephenson ([email protected]) is looking for a lab manager, starting salary $44k! Come help us keep our guppies and parasites alive so you can witness them firsthand making ridiculous faces! cfopitt.taleo.net/careersection/…

What an amazing summer! We added a 2nd happy healthy girl to our family in May (😍), heard about U.S. National Science Foundation grant getting funded in June (🎉 more on this soon!), heard about the awesome Rachael Kramp's #Gilliam fellowship HHMI in July (🤩).. I feel like the luckiest person ❤️✨🌟

Calling late stage #PhD and #postdocs - are you interested in #disease #ecology and #parasite #evolution..? I would LOVE to sponsor your NSF fellowship application. I've had 2 PRFBs in my lab - it's a great programme! nsf.gov/pubs/2023/nsf2…

New preprint: Even a little kin association can select for infected hosts to reduce onward transmission, behaviorally or physiologically, instead of tolerating infection. "Associating with kin selects against disease tolerance" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

ALSO there is still time to apply to this #postdoc in #ecology #evolution Get Your PhD @PittBioSci - develop a project with any combo of labs, work independently. For example - #disease and #microbiomes? #disease and #sexualselection? #parasite rapid evolution? LMK! cfopitt.taleo.net/careersection/…

Lots of #jobs open in my lab: wordpress.com/page/stephenso… #PhD students, #postdoc, #manager... I want it all :) If you're interested in using #guppies and their #worm #parasites to understand how #behaviour affects #disease #ecology and #evolution.. check it out!

my lab has finally entered the #preprint era! Check out superstar grad student Marina Hutchins' new evidence for bidirectional information transfers (👀<-->👀) during eavesdropping events in an aggressive context in fruit flies: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Tenure track faculty position in Evolutionary Ecology at Odum School of Ecology - review of applications begins on September 18! We are an interactive and supportive group of faculty at a vibrant flagship land-grant university. #academicjobs #ecologyjobs #environmentalchange

Looking forward to giving this seminar tomorrow! 🕷🕸️

So proud of Marissa Langager for her persistence in getting this exciting work out- her 1st pub as 1st author! She shows that (given the choice) sick house finches prefer to associate w/ healthy flockmates, which has key consequences for tranmission: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Just under three weeks left to apply for this PhD project in my lab, starting September 2024- happy to chat with anyone interested!
