Elated to announce that I’m starting as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at UT Austin, well today! We'll be recruiting for several positions soon & grad students for 2025. Interested in phenotypic evodevo, me too! https://t.co/mty1imCbA2
Title: [UDE] Coming to one’s senses: Stickleback molecular processing and neuroanatomy vary across environments
🫣 might’ve used the wrong hashtag but #evolution2024
🗣️I’ll be at #Evol2024 as part of UDE: poster board A4 session 1 on Sat. July 27th
I pop-gen’d populations of Icelandic sticklebacks revealing their diversification history. Do we see their sensory transcriptomes reflect the population structure and/or ecology?
Out now in @CellCellPress!

Historically marginalized student representation drastically drops from undergrad to grad school.
Are underrepresented students unqualified? Or are grad school admissions unnecessarily confusing, costly, & gatekeeping?

As the protest occurs on campus, it is important to remember that multiple hate crimes have occurred on ut campus, including the stabbing in ut affiliated west campus, and ut has remained silent, but have deployed dps troops for peaceful protests. UT is not your friend.
The freedom to protest is integral to our democracy.
UT Austin students have a First Amendment right to freely express their political opinions — without threats of arrest and violence.

I'm happy to announce that I was awarded the best evolution poster at @SACNAS#2023NDiSTEM! B/c of this, I'll be attending @Evol_mtg#Evol2024 in Montreal! What a way to end an undergrad semester.
UT CNS undergrad @Noe_Reyna_ is at it again winning “Best Undergraduate Evolution Poster at SACNAS 2023 Meeting”
Congratulations on another well-deserved award, Noé!

👀applying to grad schools - health pop gen
poster session 5 11/17 E-079:Missing link between polygenic risk scores and tumor clinicomolecular features in breast cancer suggests heterogeneous prognostic utility among heritable cancers
I’m also applying to PhD programs at the moment. My interests are in: computational genetics, health population genetics, admixed and under-represented populations 👀 #2023NDiSTEM#SACNAS
Excited for my 1st #2023NDiSTEM@SACNAS!!
Check out my poster (THU-419, A1-E):
Marine stickleback repeatedly colonize freshwater habitats. How do their genomes & sensory transcriptomes vary by ecotype? "Stickleback molecular processing varies across populations and environments"
I’m officially done with my #REU at UCLA this summer 😔 but was able to grow so much!🧬Big shoutout to @HaasRoni, Nick, and @TheBoutrosLab for amazing mentorship. And @UCLA_BIGSummer@UCLAQCBio for making this possible. Next step: onward to grad school apps 🫡 and more 🇮🇸🐟
Congratulations to the @SICB_DEE@SICB_ Huey award and poster winners 2023!
From left to right, Jess Sterling, who got an honorable mention for their talk, @Noe_Reyna_ who won the Huey award for their poster, and Julia Kendrick who won the Huey award for their talk!!
