What does it mean to be an evolutionary biologist? We tackle this topic in a short film that is part of the broader impacts work we are doing for K-12 science classrooms for our @NSF_Bio grant. Film by @Marita_Davison, Jen Moslemi, @CaravanLab.

Hello friends! It's been a while, but we're back. We are sure you all have many questions for us, and we hope to answer them in the coming weeks. In the mean time, for more information, visit our website: https://t.co/z5QBV9Me5Z #500WS #500WomenScientists

SSE members, please fill out this survey! 🙏

Excited to share the published version (out now in @PLOSGenetics) of the introductory review that I wrote with Mike Grundler and @gbradburd about ancestral recombination graphs!

Genomic data filtering consequences can be truly scary 👻👿🎃 (just in time for Halloween) 👇🏻

I'm happy to share that our paper (@alex_lewy @memegb @cewagnerlab) was accepted in SysBio! https://t.co/QcE3hNfh2u "Reference genome choice and filtering thresholds jointly influence phylogenomic analyses"

Reminder - U Wyoming is hiring an Ornithologist! Apply by 5 Nov for full consideration:

Hi All, I'm recruiting a new grad student to join my lab at UWyoming in Fall 2024. Broadly speaking, we work on speciation and adaptation in birds. More info about the opportunity is here: https://t.co/J3qDdlUeqE Thanks for spreading the word.

I am thrilled that our Science paper on the evolution of Lake Victoria cichlids is now out! https://t.co/vszCpl5fUl

In this new paper we show how cycles of speciation and hybridization have facilitated exceptionally fast adaptive radiations of cichlid fish into hundreds of species across four trophic kevels in just 16“000 years. ⁦@joana_meier⁩

I'll be presenting some hot-off-the-presses data & results from my dissertation research with @cewagnerlab at #AFS153! Come check out my talk during the symposium on graduate & early career research in genetics-genomics -- bright and early at 8:20am on Monday

This was such a fun working group to be part of! 🙏 Great to have this out.

Congrats to fellow @cewagnerlab alum, @LuciaCombrink, on her really cool eco-evolutionary feedback study in trout in the Wind River Range that just came out in @journal_evo!

"...we need to think about how we can provide faculty members with the support they need... Are we providing access to caregiving? Are we providing funding to hire another graduate student? Are we providing more time by granting sabbaticals or [teaching] releases?"

I wish all academic administrators would read this article and take it to heart:

With some outside-the-box thinking, funding agencies could be doing so much more to support gender equity in science: https://t.co/dt062negXm

A step forward in outlining concrete recommendations for gender equity in research funding. We can do so much better.

I have grad student positions available! Looking for MS/PhD students with fundamental interests in evolutionary biology who want to work with genomic data applied to questions of conservation relevance. All projects are focused on freshwater fishes.

Are you a Computational Evolutionary Biologist that applies AI/ML to address fundamental questions in evolutionary biology? Check out this great opportunity to join us at UW. This is a broad cluster search and we want the strongest applicants to come from evolutionary biologists!

Come be our computational evolutionary biologist colleague in lovely Laramie Wyoming! In addition to our welcoming environment, you will have access to great facilities like our field station in Grand Teton National Park and high performance computing.

Come join our department at the University of Wyoming! We are searching for a computational evolutionary biologist as part of a cluster hire led by the new School of Computing. Details for our position: https://t.co/v7E72kp4Ie and for the cluster hire: https://t.co/W5doOgmfgk.
