And if you’re going to Evolution, come to my talk to hear about this project’s equally cool (but less finished 🤫) genomic side! “Linking a genomic locus for leaf shape plasticity to natural selection in the wild” - Monday, June 22 @ 5:15 PM - Ecological Genetics II - Room 24

I'm sad to miss #Evol2026 😭 But PhD student Edie Nissen is there for her first Evolution meeting 🎉 representing the lab and sharing her new work on nuclear-mitochondrial incompatibilities in hybrid yeast. Check out her poster D-19 on Tuesday!!

Well this new is all very bad for US Science. The time for public comment on this horrifying legislation from OMB is now open! Please read and follow the link at the bottom of the article! arstechnica.com/science/2026...

Proposed new US funding rules: We can cancel any grant at any time

Peer review now optional, political staff would screen grants for forbidden topics.

Meet #BSASpotlight Whitney Murchison-Kastner (Tulane University), who studies how parallel evolution shapes similar traits in Mimulus species adapting to harsh, rocky environments — and the genetic basis behind it. botany.org/home/careers... #IamaBotanist

A promotional graphic for the BSA Spotlight Series featuring Whitney Murchison-Kastner, a graduate student at Tulane University. The image shows Whitney on a sunny forest trail, wearing sunglasses and carrying a baby in a backpack carrier. Text explains that she investigates the genetic basis of parallel evolution in two Mimulus species adapted to rocky, drought-prone habitats.
