The Josephs Lab (https://t.co/H0CuuX7QnD) is joining PRI!
PI @emjosephs shares, "we're very excited to join and learn from the interdisciplinary group of scientists in the PRI."
Together, they're interested in how evolution shapes plant responses to challenging environments.

Hey #MGM2023, come and check out our method for detecting TE presence/absence in a maize diversity panel at poster 224. @emjosephs, Adrian Platts, and with collaboration with @ManishaMuna and @SpringerNathan.

[Manisha Munasinghe @ManishaMuna]

Relatedly, check out these awesome posters by @Hashtag_Read , @ClaireCodes, and @NathanSCatlin building upon this work!

[Manisha Munasinghe @ManishaMuna]

On my way to #MGM2023, excited to meet and talk with folks -- I'll be talking Saturday at 7:20 PM about our work looking at how TEs contribute to structural variation in inbred maize lines 🌽🌽

[Manisha Munasinghe @ManishaMuna]

🚨 We've got a new preprint out 🚨 - We developed a series of logical frameworks for analyzing how transposable element content contributes to structural variation (SV) within maize 🌽🧬🌽. How'd we do this + what did we find?? - 1/11

[Nathan Catlin @NathanSCatlin]

If you're free at 3:30pm, come and check out how we are detecting TE presence/absence in a maize diversity panel at poster #969. @emjosephs, Adrian Platts, and with collaboration with @ManishaMuna and @SpringerNathan. #PAG30

I'm super excited to share my first 1st-author publication with the world!

I and my advisor, @emjosephs, tested a hypothesis proposed in a 2010 paper by @SnellRoodLab

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

[Sophie Buysse @BuysseSophia]

Interested in population differences in plasticity and my plans to study genetic architecture of plasticity? Come chat with me at poster 103 tonight! #Evol2022

Friends, join me in toasting Dr ⁦@Kollar_Genetics⁩ who today defended a killer PhD thesis on the genetics of sexual dimorphism in Ceratodon purpureus

How old are moss sex chromosomes? Do they have strata? Do they degenerate? @sarahbcarey has answers - check out https://t.co/YPDqVsnaAc

Hi everyone! This isn't how I normally use Twitter, but now that I'm finished with 8 years of grad study, I'm on the market for a job in #scicomm or as an editor. I'm putting out a steady stream of apps, but if you happen to know of open positions, I'd love to hear about them 🙂

We’re going to be seeing a lot of bad haircuts when this quarantine ends.
