PLEASE REPOST AND SHARE! My intro biology course has an "Interview a Biologist" project where students connect with a wide range of biologists using cell/molecular tools. If you are willing to speak with a student for ~30 minutes on Zoom, please fill out this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A renewed reminder to anyone applying for a PhD or postdoc position in a lab--indicate your interest in the email/cover letter by talking a bit about that lab's work and why it would be a good fit. I answer any query that includes this information but do not answer those that do not.

Here it is! Our best paper ever, by far. Have you ever wondered how complex traits have evolved repeatedly across the tree of life? May be we have some answers... t.co/n0HoWi36T7

On the bus home holding a hard copy of the manuscript that is going to be the peak of my career. Everything else fades in comparison. Look out for the preprint any day now!

We’ve got a new phylogeny of the ants out as a preprint! It’s been an exciting collaboration with some awesome 🐜 people for the past few years, led by Marek Borowiec and @corriemoreau.bsky.social: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A gallery of Dolichoderus ants from around the world. These insects are incredibly diverse in form, quite heavily armored for their subfamily, and often ecologically dominant, with large colonies holding extensive territories.

Dolichoderus - Alex Wild
is a diverse genus of heavily-armored dolichoderine ants found worldwide. Colonies can be large and are often associated with honeydew-producing insects.

Finally a widely useful methodological contribution from our lab to the community. ddgRADer is a webtool (t.co/CpE5aGEbFD) for optimizing experimental design of population genomic studies. Check out the insights behind it in our Mol Ecol Res paper onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

That's incredible. I didn't think it was possible to do an RNAseq differential expression analysis without getting any false positives!

Given the afflux of new science peeps here, and the lack of a similar increase of users at Mastodon, I'll post both here and there for the time being. Although I'm not convinced this place can escape the issues which affect any corporate owned social media pluralistic.net/2024/11/02/u...

ICYMI: My book "Organismic Animal Biology - An Evolutionary Approach" came out earlier this year. If you are teaching an introductory zoology/organismic biology course, this is the textbook you've been waiting for. global.oup.com/academic/cov... More details in the first reply:
