What happens after an animal wins or loses a fight?
Check our new paper showing that winning and losing did not simply make the fish “better” or “worse” in a rivulus killifish!

Congrats to our newest Genetics PhD, Dr. Audrey Ward! Here, Audrey is with her advisor Dr. Douda Bensasson @dbensasson .

We are proud of you Dr. Ward!

Our accidental finding that "Low level contamination confounds population genomic analysis” is on bioRxiv - a fun collaborative project with @audreykward, @Brent__Shuman, Eduardo Scopel and @mcmomany https://t.co/Cgg7aO78XC

[Audrey Ward @audreykward]

Awesome work from my @dbensasson lab-mate @J_Pena412!!!

@esdsantos It’s easy to get caught up in survivorship bias. Yes, graduate school is challenging, but just because someone else was able to make it through certain conditions does not mean that everyone did - and it certainly doesn’t mean those conditions were good!

@Pabster212 is it a subtweet if it’s about yourself?

Come hear about what I’ve been up to for the last five and a half years ✨

Life has been heartbreaking and almost unbearably challenging but the trees are changing, I am sitting outside in the sun, and the song goes on.

I lost one of my biggest supporters and role models a month ago - my Papa, who taught me to love science and to strive for goodness - and am grateful to be finding him in little things like grading and the way the sunlight hits the flowers around campus.

Congrats to the wonderful @uga_genetics retreat poster presentation winners!

Congratulations to @kdyerlab for being awarded “WORLD’S GREATEST COORDINATOR”!!! She led our graduate program from 2016-2023.

[Audrey Ward @audreykward]

Walking through campus seeing all the undergrads is so exciting - today’s the day! The sun is shining! Another great semester to be a Dawg!

[Audrey Ward @audreykward]

@noah_legall @kendallbclay Definitely want to echo what @BrandiCelia mentioned about InterPro; it’s a great tool for interpretation!!

[Audrey Ward @audreykward]

I’m a simple woman: I do genetics at work, I come home and play a video game where I’m an apiarist and the whole premise is conservation of flowers and bees via cross-breeding. There’s an in-game Mendelian probability mechanic. Everything is beautiful.

@t_erlenbach @mattfarnitano Grateful that we’re getting through this whole grad school thing together 💛

[Theresa Erlenbach @t_erlenbach]

Loved seeing amazing presentations by friends in my cohort! @mattfarnitano @audreykward have awesome research and I loved being there to hear all about it!

[Audrey Ward @audreykward]

@t_erlenbach crushed her talk at #Evol2023!! Really cool work looking into sex-ratio drive in D. neotestacea 🪰🧬
