Thanks to everyone who shared the Squirrelpox vaccine petition to help protect our lovely red squirrels. If you haven't signed already please do so. We lost 70-80% of the Bangor reds in a 2021 outbreak, if the virus ever got onto the island it would be awful. petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/24...

🧬 New paper in Cell! Analysis of 12 cave lion genomes shows that cave lions and modern lions may have diverged more than three times earlier than previously thought – as early as 1.7 million years ago! AND…they interbred when temperatures dropped! Paper: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/9

Human prehistory keeps delivering surprises, here in the shape of wolves. A very fun project to work on 👇

A PhD project on historical genomics in the declining red squirrel in Britain is available in my group, through the @aries-dtp.bsky.social. Use historical genomes to track the effects of decline and genetic rescue in this charismatic species. aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships...

I am starting a computational lab at LIOS, Riga, Latvia, and going to recruit a few people. Please DM if you are interested in a postdoc or PhD position in my Metabolic Research Group within the TARGETWISE project. I can highly recommend Riga, it is a beautiful city with very good living conditions.
