We are accepting applications for our new NIH IRACDA postdoctoral program. Its an awesome program for those that want to pursue research and get some teaching experience.

Troubleshooting bead cleanups on WGS libraries with no magnetic plate. Some broken magnets, JBweld, and a random tip rack did the trick.

Anyone have 3D printer plans for DIY magnetic prep plates? Labs could buy a chunk of an NGS lane with the money saved…

@AgrarianDesk @LSU @LSUAgCenter Hi! Yes, I would consider taking an international student.

@JurijHomziak @LSU @LSUAgCenter Hi Jurij! Great to hear from you! Thanks much! I Hope you are doing well!

@coleopte_rachel Thermonectus marmoratus! I lived in the SW US my whole life and never collected one.

Our IRACDA postdoctoral program is a wonderful opportunity to teach at Haskell Indian Nations University while engaging in research at KU. Please contact me if you are interested in applying to work in my lab https://t.co/YYPTPz1MMy

Finally, some fossil-based age estimates for most Adephaga major lineages! Also combining UCE, RNAseq and WGS is doable and very useful. Cool team effort led by @StephenMBaca with @GreyTGustafson, @laninsky and @HarlanGough https://t.co/h2uCIwWXOA

@coleopte_rachel Might help avoid fights with all the other Smiths for those e-mail aliases too 👍

Check out our reply paper led by @GreyTGustafson!! Using reciprocal illumination to explore conflicting phylogenomic hypotheses in the beetle suborder Adephaga!

@Coleopterist I agree with March. But I think it was an attempt at a 4. Looks more or less like mine when I'm writing fast. You have a 1, 3 , 5 & 8 to compare it to. Doesn't seem to fit those strokes even if messy.

@coleopte_rachel @JGEntiminae I cuss way more than that tho... also an anonymous vehicle did my deer killing for me this weekend #stillfresh
