Our work on how genome duplication shaped evolution of a coral symbiont is out in @ScienceAdvances! A product of 6yrs of my PhD & postdoc w/ @dorkyM, I've never been prouder of a piece of work. Great collab w/ @uts_c3 @FIU @RutgersSEBS @aims_gov_au @ace_uq

Genomes of a heat-tolerant algal species revealed how whole-genome duplication has enhanced its efficiency as a coral symbiont.

Check out this great work by the newly minted Dr from Team CX @SarahShahansha that explores the genomes of free-living #Symbiodiniaceae, and provides a critical comparison for understanding the genomes and evolution of their symbiotic counterparts in #corals.
New work led by @SarahShahansha revealed #genome reduction predating the divergence of #Symbiodiniaceae #dinoflagellates & origin of #coral #symbionts, out @ISMEJournal #evolution Great collab @ace_uq @UQ_SCMB @DebashB @RutgersSEBS @FIU More genome data!.

I became an aunt today! And my niece Michelle is already hard at work keeping up the Dougan family tradition of birthdays on the 17th… my brother is Dec 17th and myself June 17th, but we can now add April 17th into the mix 😂 I’m so happy for my brother and sister-in-law😁❤️.

This is so cool on so many levels! I'm geeking out even more than I already would be just knowing I had a (very, very, very. ) small part in the road to getting here. So excited to see someone from the #NEEMO missions not only go back into space but go back to the moon! #NEEMO21.
They're going to the Moon! Introducing the #Artemis II astronauts:. Reid Wiseman (@astro_reid), Commander.Victor Glover (@AstroVicGlover), Pilot.Christina Koch (@Astro_Christina), Mission specialist.Jeremy Hanson (@Astro_Jeremy), Mission specialist.

Check out the awesome work of @SarahShahansha on using genomes from multiple Effrenium isolates to better understand the evolution of the Symbiodiniaceae family, and how massive genome reduction occurred in this family prior to symbiosis with corals

A great thread on analysing data.
Here are my 12 guidelines for data exploration and analysis with the right attitude for discovery:.1. You never really finish analyzing a dataset. You just decide to stop and move on at some point, leaving some things undiscovered. 🧵.

Now that’s insane… we’re going to hit 32F (0C) here in south Florida. I’m just waiting for the inevitable “watch out for falling iguanas” warnings now 😂.
Wind Chill Advisory?! YES, you heard us right (and you're not dreaming)! There is a wind chill advisory out for portions of South Florida TONIGHT from 2 to 10AM. 🥶 Advisory, or not, the wind chill temperatures will be cold. Bundle up if traveling outside tonight. #flwx
