Evolutionary Biology at the University of Wyoming. We especially like fish 🐟🐠🐡

What does it mean to be an evolutionary biologist? We tackle this topic in a short film that is part of the broader impacts work we are doing for K-12 science classrooms for our @NSF_Bio grant. Film by @Marita_Davison, Jen Moslemi, @CaravanLab. https://t.co/pmEVZf1Mai

Hello friends! It's been a while, but we're back.

We are sure you all have many questions for us, and we hope to answer them in the coming weeks. In the mean time, for more information, visit our website: https://t.co/z5QBV9Me5Z

SSE members, please fill out this survey! 🙏

Excited to share the published version (out now in @PLOSGenetics) of the introductory review that I wrote with Mike Grundler and @gbradburd about ancestral recombination graphs! https://t.co/a885WGt8oy

Genomic data filtering consequences can be truly scary 👻👿🎃 (just in time for Halloween) 👇🏻

[Jessi Rick @jessi_rick]

One of the biggest (scary) eye-openers to me from this project was seeing just how much our trees differed with relatively small changes in filtering parameters, like in the comparison shown here between two trees inferred from datasets that only differed in minor allele filters

[Jessi Rick @jessi_rick]

I'm happy to share that our paper (@alex_lewy @memegb @cewagnerlab) was accepted in SysBio! https://t.co/QcE3hNfh2u

Hi All, I'm recruiting a new grad student to join my lab at UWyoming in Fall 2024. Broadly speaking, we work on speciation and adaptation in birds. More info about the opportunity is here: https://t.co/J3qDdlUeqE
Thanks for spreading the word.

[Joana Meier @joana_meier]

I am thrilled that our Science paper on the evolution of Lake Victoria cichlids is now out!

[Ole Seehausen @OleSeehausen]

In this new paper we show how cycles of speciation and hybridization have facilitated exceptionally fast adaptive radiations of cichlid fish into hundreds of species across four trophic kevels in just 16“000 years. ⁦@joana_meier⁩ https://t.co/BmN8hGxSq2

I'll be presenting some hot-off-the-presses data & results from my dissertation research with @cewagnerlab at #AFS153! Come check out my talk during the symposium on graduate & early career research in genetics-genomics -- bright and early at 8:20am on Monday

[Katie Wagner @cewagnerlab.bsky.social @cewagnerlab]

This was such a fun working group to be part of! 🙏 Great to have this out.

[Judith Mank @judithmank]

Conceptual and empirical bridges between micro- and macroevolution. Jonathan Rolland convened a working group in the before-times, when it was normal to sit in a room full of people w/o masks or rapid-tests and talk about things. Now out at @natureecoevo https://t.co/I7opG4sncw

[Jessi Rick @jessi_rick]

Congrats to fellow @cewagnerlab alum, @LuciaCombrink, on her really cool eco-evolutionary feedback study in trout in the Wind River Range that just came out in @journal_evo! https://t.co/WwtDSep6EU

"...we need to think about how we can provide faculty members with the support they need... Are we providing access to caregiving? Are we providing funding to hire another graduate student? Are we providing more time by granting sabbaticals or [teaching] releases?"

I wish all academic administrators would read this article and take it to heart: https://t.co/ONWGO0RMR4

With some outside-the-box thinking, funding agencies could be doing so much more to support gender equity in science:

[Katie Wagner @cewagnerlab.bsky.social @cewagnerlab]

A step forward in outlining concrete recommendations for gender equity in research funding. We can do so much better.

I have grad student positions available! Looking for MS/PhD students with fundamental interests in evolutionary biology who want to work with genomic data applied to questions of conservation relevance. All projects are focused on freshwater fishes. https://t.co/RVutnTAl90
