I am interested in recruiting PhD students in the area of plant ecological genetics!

Potential topics include ecological genomics in Arabidopsis, morning glory, or ragweed; plant-microbe interactions; or new topics at the intersection of quant gen and pop gen.

[Eric Joyce @ericjoycelab]

Penn's Department of Genetics has several new tenure-track assistant professor openings. Please help spread the word!

@NatureEcoEvo This is nice science, but I think Springer Nature needs to reevaluate its policy on "neutrality" in published maps. Publishing a map that violates the sovereignty of an independent state is not in any way "neutral"

Today, the Provost’s office sent an email to grads at Penn which linked to a misleading FAQ page. While this page presents itself as a neutral source, it is in fact created to dissuade workers from unionizing. Grad workers responded to it here: https://t.co/D9Ecs49wTQ

When you read Fanon, you learn that during decolonization, some (not all) combatants commit terrible things. He doesn't justify these acts but situates them within the colonial, psychosocial, and asymmetrical power context in which they’re committed.

[Prachee Avasthi @PracheeAC]

Reminder there is no crystal ball for the impact a discovery will have over time so delaying progress for years by abdicating agency to gatekeepers who *also* don’t have one can confer the appearance but not the substance of that impact. Post preprints. Accelerate science.

Folks interested in grad school applications should check this out! UChicago is a great one to keep in mind ;)

At 3:30: I’m talking about why microbial mutualisms sometimes increase their host’s susceptibility to parasite infection

[Corlett Wolfe Wood @corlettwwood]

At 3:15: Nuri Yi is presenting on how conflict between co-colonizing symbionts changes as their host ages

[Corlett Wolfe Wood @corlettwwood]

Hey #Evol2023 - Come hang out in the Mutualism session on Saturday afternoon (Aztec / 140, 2:30-3:45) to hear @changyu_chang, Nuri Yi, and me talk about our lab’s latest work!

@HaleyABranch I don’t herp, but that sounds really fun! I would love to join if you’re open to taking a novice.

We can't win our union without you. Here are three ways you can get involved: 1) Ask your coworkers to sign their union authorization cards here: https://t.co/61Fy6z4zPp
