📣 Nice start to the week: another chapter officially out!! 👩🔬
Check out this published work in @OFIDJournal on the genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in a university community.

@AndrewMularo et al. showed patience and fortitude shepherding this paper through a demanding review process, then cascading Covid-related publishing delays. So, we made it freely available! Read it here: https://t.co/tdAO0KpzqR #JHered
Feeling very grateful to have the opportunity to present my first chapter and be welcomed by a group of amazing scientists at #Evol2022! Thank you all!
Next was @AndrewMularo presenting on super interesting & recent work on the role of dominance in genetic variation after a bottleneck - paper here! https://t.co/7tGwXXrHkp
1/2 A postdoc is available immediately at Purdue to work in conservation genomics. We have whole genome resequencing data in mammals, birds, herps, and fishes to address conservation and evolutionary questions. Help identify exciting, tractable goals with our ongoing projects.
Thanks to PhD student Gina Lamka's leadership, we have a great new paper out exploring the power of epigenetics in ecology, evolution, and conservation @AvrilMHarder @schwartz_lab @markrchristie @AndrewDeWoody (and Mekala Sundaram)

The DeWoody Lab, in conjunction with the Indiana Integrated Deer Management Project, is hiring a postdoc to using genomic techniques to study predator/prey and demographics of deer and coyote populations. Come be a part of my amazing lab: https://t.co/tkvGdQR2sD
@wildlife_bioGuy @notstephcooper I’ve found other spiders to be difficult to find online. Bugs in cyber space and joshs frogs are all good sites for inverts, but not a huge apider diversity 😬
For anyone in my life who has ever felt victimized in any way in this country based on the color of their skin, know that I care for you, am here for you if you ever need anything, and will stand up with you as an ally.
This past week has been an accumulation of anger and frustration toward my country. I feel sick that many friends, family members and colleagues, of whom I have the deepest love and respect, are unsafe from the police that I, as a white person, was told were here to keep us safe.
Being a first year graduate student is tough enough, but having to navigate through these circumstances can be even more difficult. Luckily, I don’t have to do it alone! S/O to my amazing and talented cohort of biologists for keeping me sane through this time!
New idea for quarantine: impromptu vegetable garden. Take scraps and seeds from various fruits and vegetables you eat and see what grows. 1 plastic container and a household lamp. Keeps you occupied and develops a greater appreciation for the food we are consuming!
