I'm defending my PhD in <two weeks. It's a very strange feeling. But please join me if you're at Duke or email/DM me if you'd like to join remotely!

New director for MPI-EVA Leipzig! 🥳 So happy to welcome evolutionary anthropologist & geneticist Jenny Tung Jenny Tung whose new department will study primate behavior, life history & evolution using genetic & behavioral approaches. Pic 2: @clynfitzpatrick eva.mpg.de/press/news/202…

Mixed feelings being back for the last (official) trip to Amboseli @AmboseliBaboons

Reminder that we have 2 open postdoc positions in our lab! Please see below for details on how to apply and please share widely! We'll be reviewing applications in a few weeks.

Very excited to see this out, and to have played my own small part. Congrats to all the authors!

After 6 years in NC, it's time we moved on! So many thanks to Jenny Tung et al. If you have the chance to work with her at MPI, do it. I'm so excited I'll be joining Andrew Kern and Peter Ralph in Oregon to work on Deep Learning in Pop Gen! But first, a much needed road trip.
