According to colleagues, IU faculty arrested at the Palestine solidarity encampment are slapped w 1yr bans from campus. I have seen many examples of police brutality agst campus protests over the yrs- inc student bans - but I have never heard of faculty targeted this way before

Our department dearly needs a biochemist. We've opened a tenure-track position (Assistant/Associate) for either fall 24 or spring 25 start dates. Please share! Moderate teaching load, opportunities for research, Indy is cool marian.rec.pro.ukg.net/MAR1500MNUI/Jo…

A meaningful day as we wrapped up a UCE sequencing dataset that includes unisexual Ambystoma, A. laterale, and A. jeffersonianum from all across their range. Gigantic effort by so many people. This seemed impossible only a few years ago! Can't wait to see what we find out 🔎🧬

Office frogs: Papa pumilio and baby

I have a new manuscript out Ecology Letters ! We show that local amphibian-Bd interactions are more deadly than those with novel strains. However, novel strains led to variable consequences with virulent host- pathogen combinations still occurring tinyurl.com/sddcedb7

When I say the boys are back in town, this is who I’m talking about.

Making enough money to buy a fancy keyboard but not enough to justify having one for work and home. Commuting with a keyboard is as lame as I've ever felt 😅

New pre-print using almost 100 microsat loci to document the collapse of genetic diversity in a Chiricahua Leopard Frog population. Lots of students across two universities, help from the SWRS herpetology course, and my guy Matthew L Holding. Just the start of a great collaboration!

Can anyone send me this pdf? For the life of me can't access this journal bioone.org/journals/syste…

‼️These #PSMC #peaks are #artifacts‼️ Seen #PSMC results like this🤔? They are caused by ill-set parameters, #very #common, and #easy #to #solve! For details see 🧵& biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thank you @kguschan Michael Hiller Regev Schweiger Trevor Cousins Axel Jensen ! 🙂

I'm thrilled to announce that the first preprint from the Amphibian Genomics Consortium (AGC) is now available on bioRxiv. This paper was greatly improved by the contributions of the AGC's diverse members 🐸🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It’s finally out!! 🥳 Our paper on the recovery of ancient chromosomes and 3D genome structure of a 52,000 year-old woolly mammoth just got published by Cell 🦣🧊

in a new preprint w/ daniel cadena, we ask whether available reference genomes accurately reflect the latitudinal gradient of biodiversity. we find they do not: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Happy to share that my first PhD chapter is now published! We analyze the skin microbiota of critically endangered axolotls’ species and we show that host species and environment explain skin bacterial communities’ variation more than fungal communities.👇 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

NEW pub in Nature Communications & last first-author manuscript from grad school!😄 Genome seq reveals the allodiploid #fungal #pathogen, Aspergillus latus, was misidentified in the clinic 100% of the time🤯 and paves the way for developing diagnostics plus, genome evo insights!🧵

That's Not a Hybrid: How to Distinguish Patterns of Admixture and Isolation By Distance | Molecular Ecology Resources onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17… Very important paper! Indeed, I have also noticed that Structure/Admixture plots are often overinterpreted as introgression.
