Gómez-Bahamón: "Museum collections not only provide a way of looking at the past, but as collections keep growing, they will enable populations to be monitored at an evolutionary timescale" Beautifully said.

@KawinwitK@tassiebeck@nfountainjones I was going to suggest the DGS course too. This text book is also a great resource for anyone getting into the field: https://t.co/9vaoeJxyVw
We are hiring a postdoc to come work on wildlife virology! The position has flexibility to work on areas of the applicant’s interests or the option to join projects already in progress. I am happy to talk with interested applicants. https://t.co/MhJowsF7eB
And this following the decision earlier this week to strike down the most minimal tightening of gun laws in NY. Alarming how much political power the Supreme Court wields in a supposedly democratic country.
What a truly awful decision. How can the government takeaway the rights of women and their doctors to make decisions about their healthcare? One of the many consequences of this decision is that it will cost people their lives.

Huge congrats to @ErickGagne1 and especially @laurabashor for publishing her first lead author paper - in PNAS, no less! Fascinating study investigating emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants in non-human animals.
Our collaborative work showing reversion of cell culture variants in vivo and the rise of new variants in infected animals. A special shoutout to @laurabashor who started her PhD running and did incredible work here! https://t.co/qlvxNmGGSJ
Just received a report from one of the UTAS devil monitoring areas in NW Tassie that TWO adult female devils were hit last night, right next to a sign warning to slow down for devils...
They'd both been a healthy part of our monitoring population for over 3 years - devastated

Check out @fieldgenomics's and my newly-published perspective highlighting a recent study of white-nose syndrome in bats as an example of how genomic monitoring facilitates detection of wildlife evolutionary responses to extreme selection events. 1/3 https://t.co/5vzuwcmF0B
Wildlife genomic monitoring establishes baselines against which population responses to stressors such as disease and climate change can be detected and quantified. Such knowledge is critical to our ability to manage biodiversity in the face of rapid global change. 2/3
