Cuboidal cell packing is a common yet understudied route to multicellularity. In work led by Rozenn Pineau and g_ozan_bozdag, we explore its origin as a multicellular geometry capable of supporting a transition in individuality using fission yeast. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
🚨Graduate student position(s) available!🚨
The Inclusive Conservation Lab at UBC (Inclusive Conservation Lab) is recruiting graduate students to conduct coastal wetland ecology and conservation research beginning in the Fall of 2024! See the attached flyer for details. Please spread the word!
The King Lab UBC Science UBC Zoology UBC Dept of Microbiology and Immunology is recruiting a post-doc to work with us and Sarah Otto studying virulence evolution & ecology in a changing world. For details, see: thekinglab.com/join-us/
Want to say how proud I am with our tri-society actions around bathrooms at #Evol2023 shout out to the DC and especially Dr. Elizabeth Carlen! SSE American Naturalist Society of Systematic Biologists
Listening to the inspiring Melanie Massey about the Diversity of Nature and the joy and meaning of empowering BIPOC to engage in science through workshops and camps for youth.
#evolution2023 Are you interested in spatial structure, microbes, multi-level selection, or community-level directed evolution? I am hiring a postdoc to use community-level selection to study spatial dynamics in microbes. Within that theme, there is tons of freedom
Tom Booker (find me on Bluesky) and I are looking for a postdoc interested in the genomics of local adaptation. We hope to harness better information from gene genealogies in genotype environment associations.
Please see docs.google.com/document/d/1iL… for more info. See me at #Evol2023 or email.
Congratulations to Dr. Sally Otto, recipient of the 2023 Lifetime Achievement Award! Don't miss her award talk on Friday, June 2 at virtual #Evol2023 !
