Evidence for sexual isolation in #Rhagoletis #flies, a system well-known for rapid #ecologicaldivergence. Very recently diverged apple and hawthorn flies mate more within population than between

Here is a fun drawing of Hannah made by Alyssa Murray @ac_murray. Who knew phages make nice hair clips?

LOVED making this for Hannah and so glad I’m getting to entangle my creativity and science even further!

New favorite digital possession: custom science avatar. Look how cute she is!!!

Big thanks to Alyssa Murray @ac_murray for this sweet representation of me and my science.

@ohDanaSchroeder Lmao you know your handwriting would’ve been illegible

It’s been incredibly stressful adjusting to being a PhD student and juggling all the responsibilities that come with it. But this note from a student makes it all feel worth it. I love being able to interact with other young science minds and do for them what so many did for me.

If you pick apart every little thing someone does, you’re making them the enemy, even if you’re right, it’s no longer advocacy. When it comes to climate change and the environment, we don’t need everyone to do everything perfectly, we need everyone to do some things well.

@acrlackey Thank you! I’ll always reach out when the imposter syndrome starts to hit 😄

Officially a Tufts graduate student now! 2 days down... several years to go

[Alyssa Murray @ac_murray]

Interested in speciation? The development of sexual isolation during divergence? Come check out poster 182 tonight at #Evol2019

[Alyssa Murray @ac_murray]

Ready for my first day at #Evol2019 as part of the undergraduate diversity program!

[Alycia Lackey @acrlackey]

So proud of our seniors, Kelsey McCarthy, Nadia Mirza, and Alyssa Murray, presenting their work today @binghamtonu Research Days! #PowellLab @BingUBio
