Annual OBCP Meeting happened outside in the sunshine this past Thursday - wonderful talks by all! Great pleasure in presenting Steve Smith with Service Recognition Award.
Congratulations to @ScottVEdwards1 on receiving the SSB Presidents' Award for Lifetime Achievement this morning!
Scott, thank you for all you have done to make our Society and our field better.

New paper published today in PNAS!
We used a telomere-resolution genome for the eastern diamondback rattlesnake to investigate the epigenomic basis for age-related changes in venom composition.

Hiring a postdoc to work on @NSF-funded polyploid salamander genomics/evolution. ~$55k/year, 3 years, teaching opportunities built in. Start as early as May 2024.
Great team of students + @Itgenm right now. See the PUI life. Indy is hugely underated.

How do infected snakes respond to Snake Fungal Disease, an emerging pathogenic disease that infects over 40 snake species? Does temperature play a role in host resistance and recovery?
Find out in our new article in @molecology where we explore these Qs 🧵

Last Thursday night, Greg Lipps (OBCP Amphibian & Reptile Conservation Coordinator) was awarded the 2023 Commitment to Conservation Award winner by the Columbus Zoo - congratulations and well-deserved!
Had a great time at MidWest Pop Gen @ UMich over the last couple of days - thanks to Gideon B. et al for their organizational efforts (including t-shirts no less!).
My lab at Ohio State is recruiting graduate students for Fall 2024 and a postdoc for Spring/Summer 2024! I'll be at #ABS2023 - please contact me to meet if you are interested in plasticity, paternal effects, predation, and fish!
Please RT: The Gibbs Lab at Ohio State U. is recruiting a Postdoc to lead a project on the conservation genomics of Massasauga Rattlesnakes, Columbus, Ohio, USA. Start date: 1 Sept 2023. Salary: $60K with benefits for 2 years. More information: https://t.co/pBED08IMwX
Thank you HHMI. A completely lab-changing (and life-changing) opportunity to improve the research and mentorship in my lab. I will pay this investment forwards...
