After a long post-COVID hiatus, the Colombian community of evolutionary biologists met in-person again, this time in Bogotá. Heaps of great talks and posters from undergrad students! Thanks to #COLEVOL for bringing us back together 🫶🏾 It was great to meet new folks and reconnect with old friends.

The US truly seems to be pushing eager young scientists to reconsider their life goals of research & higher ed. I'm sure these anecdotes are being repeated for many of you & am curious what systematic efforts are underway to catalogue & measure this deterrent effect on future talent

I don't think that the reviewers asking me for higher animal numbers really understand how many 40 goats are. Do you know the CHAOS that comes with dealing with 40 GOATS in an experimental setting! Mice people cannot comprehend. 3 goats alone ate a tarp, a clock, and 2 expensive accelerometers!
