🚨 So excited to share this with you!! "Genogeographic clustering": a novel approach to identify common spatial #genetic patterns among a large number of species. 👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dd… Diversity & Distributions University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau @AlbanyBiology

Thanks National Human Genome Research Institute for the wonderful thread on our perspective piece for the Earth BioGenome Project 🌍 special issue.

Working out how best to balance open science and Indigenous Data Sovereignty is a work-in-progress, but we’re making inroads (!), and hope this paper will help others understand the issues and participate.

Massive congratulations to Irene Middleton Irene Middleton - a fantastic 3 years working together, and I look forward to many more! #PhDone #advisor #fish #CitizenScience

Kia ora folks, just your semi-regular reminder that we are looking for #Indigenous in #STEM #NativesInSTEM folks to submit to our special issue in Molecular Ecology Resources. And for the first time...I actually remembered to include the hash tags!!! (you can teach on old kurī!)

BIG collaboration on global genetic diversity measures - we plot a standardised pathway forward…

📰NEWS POST on Genetic EBVs: Genetic diversity is the foundation of all biodiversity and supports the stability and resilience of species and ecosystems. It is essential for species to adapt to challenges such as climate change. Read the news here 👉geobon.org/a-new-article-…

The Massey marine crew will be there - in a yellow boat - in the middle of the campus 🚤 How will you ever spot us? We can show and tell all things natural sciences including some of our favourite critters 🌱 🐠 🐬 🪸

Metadata for genomic data is crucial to enable re-use for monitoring genetic diversity as well as identifying the Indigenous provenance of samples. Check out our pre-print to see how our collaboration restored impt metadata, and what we an all do better

Moved the live kelp and urchins yesterday, the molecular lab today!

Biocultural Labels in action! More examples on genomic data coming soon…

Really neat to reflect on the fun few days we had openly sharing ideas (and doubts) in the pre-COVID European summer about what would come next in comparative phylogeography, and honing that over the last few years…

Last week to register and submit an abstract to the NZ Molecular Ecology conference (closing on Oct 31st). eventbrite.co.nz/e/25th-new-zea… How does camping in a regional park & sharing science sound? All meals, fun, and fantastic science included!

Join us for an amazing weekend of science in the NZ Molecular Ecology meeting! The fantastic talks will showcase NZ molecular ecology of trees, sea anemones, invasive species, native birds... you name it! You can register until Oct 31 (Mon) with the link eventbrite.co.nz/e/25th-new-zea…

If you are a #beekeeper in New Zealand please fill out our anonymous survey! This is to help us in our efforts to understand apiarist’s thoughts about bacteriophages as a solution to #AFB. The survey is open until the 18th of November 2022. surveymonkey.com/r/DQWZXRF please share!

eResearch: LAST DAY TO SUBMIT! Spread the word and send us your abstracts for work that innovates, showcases or celebrates capability, connectivity or equity in eResearch. Submissions close tonight 31 Oct at 11:59pm NZDT! eresearchnz2023.org.nz/submissions/ NeSI GenomicsAotearoa REANNZ - Research & Education Advanced Network NZ

We are hiring! Have experience in genomics and/or molecular biology? Are you passionate about working with researchers to provide high-quality genomics data? Ready to work in a lovely lab space in downtown Auckland? jobs.smartrecruiters.com/TheUniversityO…

Still time to apply for this PhD scholarship. New ocean observations - Nov 2022 - from Rangitāhua to disentangle biophysical processes. Another voyage in June 2023 for successful candidate to gain ocean-going research skills. Alice Della Penna (she/her) Dr Denise Fernandez Ngati Kuri Auckland Museum

I have a few postdoc opportunities open in the lab, if you’re interested in #populationgenomics #seascapegenomics #datastewardship #subtropics #marineinverts #massey #Aotearoa get in touch! There is some flexibility in the scope of the roles, depending on your interests/strengths
