Excited to have this work with @DetarRachael and @JumpingGenomes published in @GenomeBiolEvol!

Why does organellar translation machinery seem to evolve under more constraint in plants than other eukaryotes? Check it out!

#Taiwan🇹🇼 #COVID19🦠 data have been eliminated from @OurWorldInData (OWID).

Taiwan's exclusion comes as a result of the decision to replace their entire time series with data from the @WHO, which categorizes Taiwan under China.

Negotiating a faculty position can be confusing. Here, as a group of new faculty members, we pull back the curtains to explain nuances, identify negotiable components, and build a framework for the process of negotiation based on our recent experiences.

#Taiwan is not a “Province of China”, @ScienceMagazine.

Such disinformation contributes to the cultural erasure of Taiwan and helps set the stage for its annexation.

Hope the great folks at Science will correct this oversight quickly 🙏🏽 @hholdenthorp @ValdaVinson @sudipsparikh

How do mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA populations evolve during plant development and between generations? Delighted to share this project with @SloanEvoLab and Amanda Broz! https://t.co/EsaBvMmGX9

With East Asia’s largest Pride marching into its 20th year, LGBTQ rights are now casually blended into Taiwan’s politics and everyday life. For many Taiwanese, there is a consensus that progress is made possible only if the island stays free. @cdcshepherd

Why do some genes rapidly evolve incompatibilities while others remain seemingly interchangeable despite billions of years of divergence??

Would love feedback on our preprint on this! With @JumpingGenomes, @AlissaMWilliams, Shady Kuster, @gene_shorts
