My first paper! We review how temperature may drive trait covariations in the Pace of Life (POLS) hypothesis and it’s underlying mechanisms, what outstanding questions remain, and where the future of this field is @EvoLoganLab @kalujevic https://t.co/sTWOHvoQWr #AcademicTwitter

First month of this year’s field season : Plenty of lizard activity at low elevation but our high elevation site is not yet ripe for the zardvest. @EvoLoganLab @akhilacgopal

[John Anthony Jones @JonesJA91]

I'm on the market for a #postdoc position! If you or someone you know is looking for someone keen on behavioral #ecology, signal evolution (songs, colors, etc), and endocrinology, please let me know! Also quite keen on teaching, as an added bonus!

@anjanaflyingman I’ve heard similar statements from professors too - it’s so disappointing

[Renata Pirani @PiraniRenata]

The paper "A high-quality genome for the slender anole (Anolis apletophallus)" is published 😁👏!! Open access on the link below! Once again thank you everyone @solracariasm @coxevolab @EvoLoganLab @UNRScience @stri_panama

After 5 months of field and lab work today we wrap up year 2 of the @EvoLoganLab’s Fence Lizard Project (a.k.a. FLIP). It’s been quite the ride! Extremely proud of the work and excited to dig into the amazing data we have collected!

Today is the deadline for the Rosemary Grant Advanced Awards!

If possible, try to submit early to avoid overwhelming the site. Email [email protected] if you have any technical difficulties.

We look forward to reviewing your proposals!!

@sse_evolution What’s the new deadline?

It's NSF GRFP season! Applications are due in October. Here is a link to a Google Sheet with essays from many successful applicants. #AcademicChatter https://t.co/fSirSTI2Vv

[Natalie Christian @EndophyteDiva]

I am recruiting a new PhD student to join my lab in 2024, to conduct USDA-funded research on the role of the microbiome in pathogen transmission from an invasive grass to hemp! Please share!!

[Andrew Akbashev @Andrew_Akbashev]

Just a gentle reminder that #PhD students are not ‘just employees’.

Even though their duties may involve extensive multitasking - lab work, data analysis, purchases, writing, travel, organizing social outings, etc…

They are also scholars who aspire to gain new knowledge and experience.

Which means they need YOUR attention in return.

Your knowledge, your experience and advice.

It’s called mentorship.

▫️

There are no lazy students.

There are students who lack proper support.

Absolutely incredible work from the @EvoLoganLab’s undergrads presenting at the @unevadareno’s undergraduate research symposium. Kaitlyn and Madison’s work on coloration and ectoparasitism is going to be the foundation of future research in our lab!

[Akhila Gopal @akhilacgopal]

So incredibly proud of our undergrads and the work they’ve put in to their research! Very cool findings on presence of ectoparasites and differences in coloration in western fence lizards @ggcostoya @EvoLoganLab @kalujevic

[Guillermo Garcia Costoya @ggcostoya]

Almost 4 months into the field season and still amazed by the office views.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

You have a STEM PhD but you don’t work in academia. Tell us what you do!

[Akhila Gopal @akhilacgopal]

If you’re interested in joining the Logan Lab at UNR, don’t hesitate to reach out! We do some incredible research and have a lot of fun 🎉🦎🎉

[Davide Baldan @87Baldan]

My new lab at the University of Nevada, Reno is recruiting a graduate student to join our lab in fall 2024. Students interested in the evolution of sexual conflict and parental care in songbirds are encouraged to apply.
If you are going to #ABS2023 and are interested, let’s talk.
