Its hard to overstate just how urgent this is, we need to get vaccinating BEFORE we have lots of sad wildlife documentaries of mass deaths in penguin colonies...

Registration continues this morning in the Hilton lobby for #SSB2026!

We've got name tags, lanyards, meeting stickers, and buttons for everyone.

Be sure to let us know if you're a first time speaker at a scientific conference!

#SSB26 kick-off this morning with the Primer on Phylogenomics workshop at full capacity!

Led by Edgardo Ortiz, PhD.
Organized by the @systbiol.bsky.social’s GraSP committee.

A thread worth reading!

A flurry of snowflakes with text reading 'Virus Snowflakes: a collection of paper art viruses by Ed Hutchinson - Download now!' along with the logo of the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research

If you'd like to celebrate the biology of viruses - or the fight against viral diseases - this winter, try out our free and updated #VirusSnowflake designs.
Please share, and if you have any photos of Virus Snowflakes in your area it would be lovely to see them!

1/13 Time to talk about dogs and fossilized birth-death models! Here is a quick run-down of my #Evol2025 talk. 🧵

Just created my Bluesky! Let's hope I use it more than twitter. Hope you follow me if you want to hear about Bayesian phylogenetics with fossils, state-dependent diversification, and canids!!
