Actually, wait, I just found @kbheinle.bsky.social on here— she was the one talking about brown trout GTseq!
Yes! I was just at a conference and listened to a talk with data from GTseq for brown trout in NM. Happy to DM more info— the folks aren’t on here as far as I know
Applications for this UA postdoc fellowship are due next week— please reach out if you’re looking for a conservation-focused postdoc and would be interested in working with me!
Wim van Leeuwen and I are looking for a postdoc. Come work with us!
Job alert:
NOAA NWFSC & UW are looking for a postdoc (ASAP) in Seattle study foraging ecology of Cook Inlet beluga whales using eDNA. Genetics/ecology/eDNA experience preferred. Interested candidates reach out to kim.parsons@noaa.gov or rpkelly@uw.edu directly. #eDNA #ConsGen
Team fish - we need your help! We are trying to build a database of all the fish chromosome-scale genomes where sex chromosomes have been identified. Have you build one or some? Do you know someone who has? Can you post the link in the comments? Please spread the word and repost! Thank you!
