rude that the computing cluster will be down for maintenance over spring break, don’t they know that that was when I was planning on getting all of my remaining dissertation work done?

Really appreciate Jonathan Lambert pointing out that NSF grants are congressionally mandated to weigh how grants broaden participation in science, putting the administration's executive order against DEIA in conflict with, and potentially undermining, congressional legislation

Haven't really been active on here until recently, but I figured it's time to re-introduce myself!

I'm Katie (she/her), and I'm a PhD candidate in the Bernal lab at Auburn University, studying the roles of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in response to climate change in marine fish!

Broad thermal tolerance and high mitochondrial genetic connectivity in the pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides) Pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides) are highly abundant in coastal ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic Ocean and serve as a crucial link in marine food webs. Despite their ecological relev...

Now accepted in Journal of Fish Biology! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

New manuscript by graduate student @kmeaton.bsky.social. Along with UG students she found that Pinfish pops have similar max thermal tolerance despite experiencing different water temps. This can make southern pops more susceptible to #climatechange & #oceanwarming

very pleased and proud to make my debut bluesky post about this important topic

I have grown and matured a lot as a scientist but the one thing I refuse to change about myself is that I will ALWAYS refer to PCR Master Mix as "soup". We called it that in my first lab as a baby scientist and I will never stop.
