@tera_levin Thanks so much, glad that you enjoyed the talk! Absolutely, it would be great to connect sometime. We've focused a lot on viruses but would love to think more broadly!
getting an NSF CAREER award! if you know of anyone looking to do a PhD on quantifying microbial recombination, adaptation, and population structure, please send them my way. and atlanta folks interested in doing science outreach with refugee youth, please get in touch!
This work was led by Brian Lee, a graduate student in my group, and featured contributions from many others: our own Liz Finney, @SaqibSohail3, @ahmedaquadeer, Faraz Ahmed, and Matt McKay! Thank you to an amazing team. (10/10)
Our preprint is out! We developed a new method to estimate how individual mutations affect the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 using the incredible data available from GISAID. https://t.co/DYnXOUQxqQ (1/10)
Our code and results are all on GitHub (https://t.co/Qc1wO2CbPN). We hope that our work might point to potentially functionally important mutations that may not have been fully characterized, in addition to helping us quantify changes in SARS-CoV-2 transmission. (9/10)
Fred Hutch Computational Biology is gearing up to host a bunch of undergraduate interns this summer. If you are an undergrad interested in the intersection of 💻and🧬, or if you know one, please check it out! SURP is a phenomenal experience.
Job ads are up! We're recruiting at all levels.
📣Hey biologists: come put rocket boosters on your science with our proven methods development team. 🚀
📣Hey computational folk: come work with us on a long list of fascinating & relevant problems.🧑🔬

We have an open postdoc position https://t.co/TNCBf8bQw4 (Psst! Phylogenetics folk! Antibodies evolve within you! It's amazing! And important! Phenomenal collabs! Hard problems! Supportive group! Remote work possible!)
Two postdoc positions available in my group, official ads to come!
One position focused on the role of mutational biases in adaptive protein evolution.
The other position on modeling epistasis observed in high-throughput experimental data.
E-mail / DM if interested!
