@MeixiLin @PauNunezV @ChrisKyriazis @jurbanr @eliepoulin @lohmueller @morestrada We dedicate this work to the late Bob Wayne who supported this project from the beginning and was involved very actively during the last major revision of the manuscript. #whales #FinWhale #ConGen #PopGen #conservation #genomics #whaling

Our study on the genomic impact of whaling and isolation is out today! Thanks a lot to @SergioNigenda for welcoming me into the world of whales 🐳 It's been a fun journey of discoveries. Check out the 🧵below for more details 🎉🎉

[Sergio Nigenda @SergioNigenda]

I am glad to share our paper published today in @NatureComms assessing the impact of whaling and isolation on the genetic diversity of fin whale populations. We did a genomic and simulation analysis of 50 fin whale genomes. https://t.co/PwfETUlLXH

Happening now 🤩🤩🤩

Planning your morning #ESA2023 routine? In 50 mins at 10:00 AM, Room 253, @leg2015 is organizing a not-to-miss inspire session “A roadmap towards comprehensive biodiversity monitoring at scale”. Also, come and hear her amazing work on plant mapping with deep learning!

[Meixi Lin @MeixiLin]

From applying ecological theories in evolution studies to using genetic methods for ecological questions, from species to communities, from microbes to plants and animals, really the sky is our limit!

[Meixi Lin @MeixiLin]

Had a blast at #ESA2023. Thanks a lot to our amazing speakers Dr. Amy Angert @rangelimits Dr. Michael Buchalski and Dr. Andrew Gonzalez @bio_diverse, co-organizers @leg2015 @MExpositoAlonso, student volunteer Katherine, and every participant finding the mysterious room 258.

[Lauren E. Gillespie @leg2015]

Hey #ESA2023 be sure to head over to room 258 in 30 minutes to catch our session led by @MeixiLin and hear her talk about how we can use biodiversity theory and genomics to better understand the genetic extinction vortex!

[Meixi Lin @MeixiLin]

For the Symposium No.1 “Combining Ecology and Evolutionary Knowledge for Conservation”. It’s exciting to learn about all the ongoing work and discussions of eco-evolutionary conservation:

@DanielC23028196 Congratulations Daniel! So excited for you!!

Another episode of "have you ever fought with software X?"

Current tools for pool-seq in Evolve+Reseq data are too slow or have other problems (🧵)

@LucCzech wrote from scratch an easy to use C++ tool for pool-seq + comp popgen stats w @Spence_Jeffrey_

I’m excited to announce that I’ve been awarded a Fulbright Grant to travel to Brazil and develop machine learning methods to map the distributions of Cerrado plant species using remote data in collaboration with the amazing @dneves_ecology at UFMG!

[Meixi Lin @MeixiLin]

Woohoo!! 🎉 Congratulations!!

@ChrisKyriazis Aww thank you so much!

[Meixi Lin @MeixiLin]

Very excited and honored to share that I am now a @SmithFellow. I will be working with a dream team of mentors @MExpositoAlonso and field mentors at @Revive_Restore and #UNBiodiversityLab to develop macro-ecological models of global genetic diversity!

[Smith Fellows @SmithFellows]

We are thrilled to announce the 2023 Class of @SmithFellows! Congratulations to Kendall Calhoun, Amber Datta, Caroline Kisielinski, Meixi Lin, and Vaughn Shirey! https://t.co/Y8gAXn1KAf

[Xinjun Zhang @Xinjun90]

Super excited to present my newly-minted Lab logo and website! https://t.co/OLijeKBNJs

Can't wait to start my new journey at @UM_Genetics in just a month. I'm also recruiting postdocs and students interested in popgen and ML/AI methods development, please help spread the word!

[Meixi Lin @MeixiLin]

I am still very sad but I will always be grateful having Bob as my mentor. He welcomed me into the world of conservation genomics and would always encourage you to ask the bigger and more exciting questions. He will be missed.

[Kirk Lohmueller @lohmueller]

I am deeply sorry to tell you that my UCLA colleague Bob Wayne passed away yesterday after an extended battle with cancer. Bob was a pioneer at using genomic methods to study demography and selection in populations of conservation concern. 1/5

[Moi Expósito-Alonso (#MOILAB) @MExpositoAlonso]

Following our @ScienceMagazine paper, we put out a @ecoevorxiv discussion of the potential and limitations of applying the mutations-area relationship to define genetic diversity protection targets
