The latest stable release (v5.1) of #SLiM, a forward-time, individual-based evolutionary simulator developed in my lab, is now out! This release marks my first official open-source contributions, with some minor bug fixes and documentation updates especially for Windows users.
Further scientific crackdowns apparently coming soon: "if an NIH award recipient has received funds to attend a conference, but the conference has a session on DEI, the recipient can’t use NIH funds to attend."
If my project or approaches sound interesting to you - please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm open to collaboration across academia, industry, and non-profit organizations at any point, and I'd love to chat about innovative, ambitious ideas for studying and protecting biodiversity.
I'm interested in computational and genomic approaches that may help us infer the resilience of populations, communities, and ecosystems, and predict the future fate of natural systems under myriad anthropogenic stressors.
I'm excited to announce I'll be starting my PhD in Computational Biology at Cornell this fall, supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship! I'll be joining Philipp Messer's lab, aiming to develop and apply new approaches to understand how natural systems respond and adapt to sudden changes.
Would love to be on the list if there's a part 2!
I'm in Montreal for #Evol2024! Excited to be presenting some final results from my recently-completed undergrad thesis. Come check out my poster or talk if you're interested in patterns of floral diversity over time!
Correction - my talk was rescheduled for 1:55pm on Wednesday!
A large, circular phylogeny of wildflowers with names colored by floral color. Title says "Do flowers of a color bloom together?", and body says "Come discover the relationship between floral color, co-occurrence, and relatedness in North American wildflowers with me! Poster: Monday, 6:15pm, Exhibit Hall. Lightning Talk: Wednesday, 1:40pm, Gallery Overlook H. #Botany2024"
Excited to announce I'll be doing my first conference poster AND talk next week! Come see some early results exploring how floral color impacts co-occurrence in North American wildflowers #Botany2024
