I am so sad that my former postdoc host Barry Sinervo at UCSC has passed away. We worked closely between 1997 and 2009 during and after my postdoc in California, and he shaped both my thinking and that of many other junior colleagues. R.I.P. Barry! Your ideas will live on.

Thank you to everyone interested! Now twenty generations into a new experimental evolution project with a PhD student, H. Thyagarajan, we are doing male-limited evolution again. It has been tough, with the lab gutted of help by COVID. Collaborations may be available.

CDN orgs asked to suspend ads re climate change during the election or face costly rules. Imagine if the same rules existed in the USA: climate change, gun control, endangered species, gender equality, immigration (etc) off the table as "partisan". https://t.co/0pO6pxKFbJ

It was already a baroque story! Sadly, stories like Baker and Bellis' explanations for human sperm polymorphism as functional variants seem to persist.
I continue to be amazed at how complex fertilization is. These fruit fly males produce at least THREE different types of sperm: fertile sperm (eusperm) and two forms of sterile sperm (parasperm) that have different functions!

I am back at the drawing table today working on an immigration cartoon for syndication tomorrow. Until then, I figure this killed cartoon is worth a repost. #TrumpandtheBabySnatchers #TrumpCamps #Trump #ImmigrantChildren #Immigration

David Weiler's website is full of improbable natural phenomena and beautiful images.
The Lichen Katydid (Markia hystrix), an insect that looks like it’s actually made out of delicate lichen. It looks more like something out of a fairytale than a real-life insect!! 🎥 David Weiller https://t.co/mp2J86A9Qj
