Our paper is out! I am so proud of this amazing collaborative project.

Species richness and redundancy promote persistence of exploited mutualisms in yeast https://t.co/hhmtKEsyeW

[Mayra Vidal @mayracvidal]

We started our year pretty well!! Check out our latest accepted paper @ISMEJournal showing that dispersal promotes stability and persistence of exploited yeast mutualisms @CongLiu0514

Our paper testing if coevolution can help mutualists persist exploitation is out!

Coevolution and dependency influence resistance of mutualists to exploitation https://t.co/zN1xnmEStH

@garcialinguist @dudelbem Ia falar a mesma coisa, depende muito da universidade. Também dou aula em uma R2 (que vai virar R1 depois q o Carnegie mudar o sistema de avaliação), e dou aula na graduação e pós todo semestre, 3x por semana, mais lab, e soh piora depois do tenure.

ótima iniciativa do CNPq! Meu lab (https://t.co/X3ODFsdQZt) também está sempre de portas abertas para pesquisadoras brasileiras!!!

Whoah! 🤯 Our study of #SpatialSorting made the cover of @NatureEcoEvo! Congrats to lead author @mattheaucomerf1 & coauthors S. Carroll & T. La! #RiceEEB @RiceUniversity @RiceNatSci @RiceUNews

The UMB Species Interactions Lab (aka Vidal Lab) was well represented at #EntSoc2023 this week! I'm so proud of the work we are doing 😊

[Scott P. Egan @scottpegan]

New paper in @NatureEcoEvo led by former PhD student Dr. @mattheaucomerf1 in collaboration w/ S. Carroll, T. La, and me ...

"Spatial sorting promotes rapid (mal)adaptation in the red-shouldered soapberry bug after hurricane-driven local extinctions" (1/n) 🧵

@ana_bosslady @Evol_mtg Poxa, queria :( mas infelizmente não vou esse ano....

@dudelbem @ufmg @iserrapilheira Que absurdo… sinto mto q esteja passando por isso!

[Mayra Vidal @mayracvidal]

We just officially finished this academic year. The lab doubled in size this past year, with new students and postdocs doing exciting research! But one of the hardest parts of being a PI is probably constantly saying goodbye to amazing people

I have applied to this grant multiple times as a grad student and this is the first time I have grad students in my lab applying to it. I cannot believe this is one of their questions for advisors!! I'm seriously considering this answer but worried that it would hurt my students.

[Liam Revell @phytools_liam]

Don't miss out on our upcoming workshop in Boston -- and it's the best kind: FREE and expenses paid. Applications due by Friday, January 20th! https://t.co/crRNNUjQ8L

[Liam Revell @phytools_liam]

If you're a grad student with a 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 and want a 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆 of my book with @lukejharmon on #PhylogeneticComparativeMethods in #Rstats, email me a two-sentence explanation of why & I'll mail you one.

I only have a few copies to give away like this ...

[Mayra Vidal @mayracvidal]

I highly recommend this grad position in Albert's lab (and sharing hallway and meeting space with my lab 😁). Share if you know of people looking for a grad position to study collective animal behavior.

[Albert Kao @albert_kao]

I have funding for an additional grad student to start in fall 2023 -- if you, or someone you know, is interested in studying collective animal behavior, please contact me! I'm so excited about what this lab will become in the coming months -- come join us!
