Noisy Pitta sticker design 2

So I'm planning on printing some pitta stickers to give away at the #AOS2024 conference after the Rainbow Pitta stickers were a hit at #Evol2024 and I'm torn between two Noisy Pitta designs. Which one do y'all prefer?

Stickle-back to the future: experimental evolution in nature Can we study evolution in the wild? Are some species “super-evolvers”? On the episode, we talk with Alison Derry, a professor of biology at the University of Q

For folks who saw one of the several talks at #evol2024 about the Alaska stickleback introduction project there’s more about it in the most recent @bigbiology.bsky.social episode with @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social and Alison Derry podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

I presented John McAuley's PhD work on the polygenic basis of individual recombination rates in house sparrows at #Evol2024. Now in press at Molecular Biology and Evolution. The live captioning did a commendable job throughout the conference 👏👏 #Evolution2024 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gptl...

Me (left) with Dave (right).

Dave Des Marais (MIT) is one of the few people that I have been to three schools with over my life. We were in the same plant molecular bio course at UC Berkeley, neighboring labs for grad school at Duke, and the same lab as postdocs at Texas. Great human being, scientist, and friend. #evol2024

If you missed my talk at #Evol2024 #Evolution2024 on coexistence of mixed cytotypes with Nico Andrade, Ethan Cockey, @jlandisbotany.bsky.social, Nic Kortessis, Jose Miguel Ponciano and Soltis lab you can see it here:

New addition to the Hall of Fame #Evol2024

Nat, a smiling white woman wearing a blue patterned shirt, very wide brimmed sun hat, and a pair of binoculars dangling from her neck stands with arms outstretched on the edge of the St Lawrence River, a large body of water. The sky is blue with some white clouds and there is a patch of green bush in the background to the right.

Travelling to attend #Evol2024 hear all the latest in #genomics and meet with super hardworking researchers has left me feeling very inspired. I’ve met some amazingly kind folks en route too, leading to memorable adventures!

Hey folks at #Evol2024 @Evol_mtg. I just tested positive for Covid. Please be mindful of symptoms and test. Stay safe out there.

If you weren't able to view my #Evol2024 talk in person, you can now watch it online along with the other amazing award talks! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcdH...

If for some reason you're interested in what me giving a scientific talk is like, here's mine from this week's Evolution meeting (first talk in this particular video):

Highlighting this comment from the ASN Presidential Address at #Evol2024 in light of the recent Olympic controversy.
That talk should soon be up on Evolution's YouTube channel...something we'll watch at lab meeting this Fall!

I had a great time presenting my undergraduate thesis at #Evolution2024 #Evol2024. Stay tuned for more, the manuscript is submitted!!!

In case you missed my talk at #Evolution2024 #Evol2024 on mosaic hybridization and secondary contact of three darter lineages with @fishgenomes.bsky.social, Tom Near and @dmacguig.bsky.social you can see it here (starting at 56:00)

Back in London after a fantastic #Evol2024. 🍁🎉

Thanks to everyone who made this a special one for me. Returning with many good memories. 🥳

My student Swapna Subramanian told the #Evol2024 audience that if they gave her a standing ovation for her talk, I would do a TikTok dance to Charlie XCX’s song Apple (pertinent to Swapna’s talk). Well…. They did. And I did.

I had a fab week in Montreal at #Evol2024. For those that missed it, my talk examining the genetic basis for how life-history traits shape breast cancer risk among Dutch women is available now on YouTube: youtu.be/CBHrGi9t4Ps?...
Happy to answer questions or hear feedback!

Had such an amazing time at #Evol2024 - thanks to the organizers for making a safe, welcoming, fun and informative scientific meeting - folxs should join Society of Systematic Biologists and the Society for the Study of Evolution and come to these wonderful #evolution meetings

Call for feedback! 🏳️‍🌈 if you were at #Evol2024 and came by our poster, please remember to share feedback! 👇

If you missed the meeting but are interested in DEI, queer theory, and evo/eco bio frameworks, let’s chat! DM me & I’ll share our poster.

excellent science, lovely people #Evol2024
goodbye beautiful Montréal!

You know what I really appreciated about #Evol2024 -- the
Palais Montreal Congress Centre was a reasonable temperature!!! First summer conference where I didn't wear a sweater all day! THANK YOU!!

Thanks to all the #Evol2024 organisers. Great meeting! Hope you all get a nice rest over the next few days!

Thanks for posting! I didn’t make it to #evol2024 but I saw a poster with your name on it at SABER this year.

And thus wraps up my #Evol2024 . We'll be seeing a bunch of you either virtually or online in Athens, GA for 2025.
