IT’S OVER! More than 24 hours later, 3 cities, and experiencing @AmericanAir’s predatory scheduling practices up close and center, it took @united to actually get me home. I’ll follow up as I learn more from American, but I’m grateful for the support. Don’t fly American Air.

Hey #Evol2023 ! Interested in mammalian pigment pattern evo-devo? Come check out my talk (assuming I land in time after delays and cancellations!!) this afternoon at 3:15 in Galisteo / 110 and learn about why rodents are such an exciting model to study diverse pattern development

[Aaron Griffing @AaronHGriffing]

Do you want to hear about whacky morphology in THE cutest lizards ever? Come check out my talk today in the Parallel/Convergent Evolution session!

Time: 2:30 PM // Room: Dona Ana 120

Excited to share my new research @LANEVOL, out now @ScienceAdvances! We show that transient sonic hedgehog agonism causes a permenant transition from scales to feathers in the chicken⬇️

@AnyiMazo @DukeU @DukeBiology Oh my goodness anyi congratulations!!!!!!!!!! I can’t think of anyone more deserving, you’re going to kill it!

This is the "round them up" part of the well-known process that starts with 'just asking questions."

Which is why many of us understand those "just asking questions" about trans people to be motivated by something other than love of free speech and open discourse.

Postdocs deserve a living wage, glad Princeton is finally stepping up. Now about childcare, health insurance, affordable housing…

[Princeton University @Princeton]

Postdoctoral scholars at #PrincetonU will receive a minimum full-time salary of $65,000 per year — which represents a nearly 20% increase over a federally required minimum — beginning March 1. https://t.co/1AJnl3ioSU

@Chemistophe Congrats Christophe!!

Privileged to work studying our small mammal friends every day, such incredible animals! Let’s all work together so there’s a future for them and the ecosystems they play a part in upholding 🐿️🦫🐀

This club had a drag show every Saturday. It's impossible to escape the horrifying conclusion that the escalating rhetoric against drag queens promoted by people like Chaya Raichik (libsoftiktok), Matt Walsh, and others created the environment where someone would do this.

The beauty of butterfly wings reveals the power of "junk DNA." Watch the patterns on Painted Lady butterflies change as researchers at @Cornell & @GWTweets alter a piece of DNA that regulates a patterning gene.

My lab at Clemson University is seeking graduate students to work on the genomics of adaptation in butterflies. I have funding for students interested in molecular biology and genomics, or purely computational research. To learn more about our research: https://t.co/SCaE3mDWQV

1. Nuestro nuevo artículo en #EvoDevo y regulación de un gene #Wnt está disponible en @ScienceMagazine. Estudiamos la evolución y el rol de los elementos reguladores en cis de un gen. esencial para la formación de patrones en mariposas. https://t.co/R1L92soEqY ⬇️Portada🔥🧵🧵?

[Dr. Anyi Mazo-Vargas @AnyiMazo]

1. Our new #EvoDevo and Wnt gene regulation paper is out in @ScienceMagazine. We used #ATACseq and #CRISPR to study the evolution and role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) of a patterning gene in different species of #butterflies. 🧵🧵🧵Check the cover🔥
