New paper out in #BioScience with @smammal_bio! LGBTQ+ demographic data allows us to track efforts to improve equity in biology, but data collection must grapple with identity fluidity and disclosure risks.
Our paper, '“Where do I even start?” Recommendations for faculty diversifying syllabi in ecology, evolution, and the life sciences' is out today in Ecology and Evolution! Proud to have published this with such a great group of researchers!

Excited that our paper looking at prion gene variation in endangered Eld's deer has come out in Frontiers in Conservation Science! https://t.co/BSNUUzyVB1
New genomics terms just dropped! Do you want to learn the basics of genomics while also keeping up with the latest research? We’ve got you covered. Our talking glossary is filled with cool terms and will leave you wanting more (knowledge). #DNADay2022 https://t.co/I2CxMCp5iM
I finally get to share the news! I have accepted an Assistant Professor position at Boston University! I am beyond thrilled & grateful for the family, friends, & mentors who have supported my journey. Stoked to continue my research on beetles & working toward diversifying STEM!
Thrilled to announce that I have accepted an assistant professor position at @earlham1847 in Environmental Sustainability and Biology! And someone already changed my title on the door 😅
Okay big announcement and self-promo time! This Saturday (01/15) Allison and I are launching
The We Out Here Podcast: stories of science and nature by Black, brown, and Indigenous folks.
Here's a little taste of what we got goin on🤘
Very excited that our study reporting genetic variation in Pere David’s deer that may impact vulnerability to CWD is out today! https://t.co/sg4JfZdyLY
Proteins in the brain called prions are well known for their involvement in causing disease, but a new study suggests they act as part of a previously unrecognised epigenetic mechanism that helps yeast adapt quickly to changing conditions. https://t.co/DbmpoT838i
Our paper on the evolution of tusklessness in African elephants is finally out! Human-mediated selection can have some very strange an surprising consequences...

.@ConStowevation shares that prion proteins (the infectious agents) can survive autoclaving and get taken up by plants from the soil at #theaga2021. Terrifying!
Our final #BIGxScience seminar comes from Dr. Tolulope Perrin-Stowe. @ConStowevation tells us how she used genetics to determine whether cervid subspecies are susceptible to the “Zombie Deer Disease.”

Today's #BIGxWeek programming is all about the BIG Science. Tell us what you're working on! You'll also have a chance to hear from BIG members about their scientific research today. We'll be tweeting out their prerecorded virtual seminars!
