Late-stage PhD students:

We want to bring you to NYU Biology to meet peers and make connections with potential postdoctoral mentors. Apply to be part of our Emerging Scholars Symposium!

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

Applications for MEME are open! It's a research- and mobility-oriented Evolutionary Biology Master's Programme, where students have the opportunity to visit 4(+2) different universities in two years. Please spread the word! www.evobio.eu #EvoBio

A genomics learning framework for undergraduates Genomics is an increasingly important part of biology research. However, educating undergraduates in genomics is not yet a standard part of life sciences curricula. We believe this is, in part, due to...

🧬📝🚨 Out today: A genomics learning framework for undergraduates

We hope this will be one more tool to help integrate genomics into undergraduate education by supporting evidence-based curriculum design with a set of standardized concepts.

The Unfamiliars One day, all the wizards disappear overnight. The only magic-users left are the most bottom-of-the-barrel familiars and it's now up to them to save magic and save the world.

Sorry about beating the drum constantly but I’ve got basically everything riding on this thing and I’d greatly appreciate if you can share it around. It’s gonna be a great book I think! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

Evolution-related researchers can also join the Milner Centre for Evolution - particularly strong in microbial genomics.

Prize Fellowships are really great positions for ECRs - 3 years research-only to establish your independent lab, leading to a permanent (TT) assistant prof/lecturer position if successful.

My department at U Bath is hiring 6 new posts in Microbiome Research!

"We will not look back and regret this decision. Although we were wrong about not admitting women, abolitioning racial quotas, US involvement in Vietnam, and divesting from apartheid South Africa, we are confident that this time is different."

Do Genetic Loci that Cause Reproductive Isolation in the Lab Inhibit Gene Flow in Nature? Abstract. The genetic dissection of reproductive barriers between diverging lineages provides enticing clues into the origin of species. One strategy uses linka

I am so excited to share the advance online version of our new paper "Do genetic loci that cause reproductive isolation in the lab inhibit gene flow in nature?" Bret and I really enjoyed thinking about these ideas and we hope others find the discussion useful!

Couple of days left to apply for our postdoc position! If you want to chat in person, I will be at #TAGC24 #PEQG24 next week

Will do for sure! I’ll be in @phiferrixey.bsky.social lab at Drexel.

A black and white tuxedo cat sits on a white table on the left, with red collar holding AirTag. A grey and white cat sits on a grey table on right, with same collar with AirTag, but in blue.

I got Helix & CRISPR-Cat9 collars with AirTags, in anticipation of transatlantic travel (to sabbatical in Philly!!!)

Looks like they joined some weird cat cult (or modern bow ties?)

NIH diversity supplements offer a pathway to independence These funding mechanisms have been underutilized. The ASBMB public affairs staff offers recommendations to change that.

Don’t let money go by. Supplements are one way to support individuals in your lab. www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/...

I keep a running list of R/bioinformatics resources for my students. Happy to share if you email me lmt38-at-bath.ac.uk

It is so lovely, but I forget to appreciate it sometimes. Decorations/change of season are good reminders.
