@SantaCruzMETRO New levels of terrible service every day. Buses are 20+ mins late or don’t show up. So much for ‘riding the wave’ of sustainability.

Our study on ancient Anatolian sheep 🐑 genomes 🧬 is finally out!!!

Tons of insights into the early domestication processes in Anatolia and some interesting bits to look into with further research across Eurasia.

Check the paper by Damla Kaptan et al: https://t.co/37kKMTRmn2

Check out our review on the Evolution of Sensory Receptors, the incredible molecular machines that decode the outside sensory world! 🪲🐭🦎🐙🐓🦠🦗🐌💃

I have a new story in the Washington Post on how Burning Man die-hards hope this year's lackluster ticket sales will mean a throwback to the old days, before "sparkleponies" and Silicon Valley ruined it https://t.co/8HOaGAq6cp

What I don't get about academia is the chronic lack of celebration. It is hard to get & maintain grant funding, hard to get papers accepted without Faustian bargains, hard to be a great mentor, & hard to maximize trainee success. All of it is hard. We should celebrate everything.

One of the best things about attending conferences is that you get a chance to see what your former students are up to. It's great to see what @masterolojist @MSrigyan @genesandstuff have turned into

[Megha Srigyan @MSrigyan]

@trstn_gnthr Thank you Torsten! Always look forward to these reunions at super fun conferences like #smbeBeyond! :)

Why data is meaningful only if you know the context.....

[Brock Wooldridge @twooldridge1]

Here is a shameless plug for my first postdoc paper, a big collaboration with lots of cool people at UCSC, particularly co-first author Chloe Orland.

Read it to learn about abalone, population bottlenecks, IBD (or lack thereof), and chrom. inversions!

🕯️💡Our new study illuminates the mystery of why insects swarm around lights! Turns out, it's not attraction, but disorientation - insects mistake artificial lights for the sky and spiral around them. @FIU @NatGeoExplorers @dragonflyneuro

India's SME IPOs, which have suddenly seen increased retail interest over the past few months, has finally caught SEBI's attention.

@genesandstuff @GeneticsGSA @trstn_gnthr @andre_elias Congrats! 🎉 🐑

[Pedro Morell @genesandstuff]

We finally published the first paper of my thesis at @GeneticsGSA G3 with @trstn_gnthr and @andre_elias

If you are interested on sheep evolution and/or demographic history, give it a look: https://t.co/Hg0mZZl8s2

Excited to share our new pre-print, in which John Welch and I think about introgression line data and the genetic architecture of heterosis.

Happy to share our paper on Indian wolves (Indian peninsular and Himalayan wolves).
Indian wolves are unique and ancient with no gene flow between the wolves.

⏰ 🧬
My first first-author paper is now out in
@molecology!
We conducted the first review and meta-analysis of DNA methylation markers of ageing, evaluating effects of experimental protocol on the performance of epigenetic clocks in non-model animals.
