Please RT! Free registration for the 5th Uppsala Transposon Symposium (virtual) has just opened, abstract submission deadline is September 17. https://t.co/ehVFIVgOWN #transposon#UppTransposon2021
Woohoo💥we have TWO new NIH-funded projects on human endogenous retroviruses and HIV! Both are part of exciting international collaborations. If you’re looking for a postdoc or tech position in this area, do reach out! Or RT & spread the word 🙏✖️💯
Herpetologists: we need to do scicomm and get people not to demonize snakes. You know, make them more relatable to people.
Herp enthusiasts: Let’s give them silly names like snek and nope rope

@origamiPete The layers work really well for surface texture! Especially for Eurypterus, makes it look very bristly in a realistic way. It's also fascinating to see how all the layers were folded into each other.
Very excited to share our publication on behavioral flexibility of nocturnal resting in a #jumpingspider. Seems like we know very little about what invertebrates, even common species, do at night and what sensory challenges they face 1/4

This is about the third thing I’ve retweeted about this because I can’t get over how cool it is. Horizontal gene transfer from plants to insects! That deals with plant toxins! 🧬🌿➡️🪰
Excited to announce the *first* complete, telomere-to-telomere sequence of a human autosome, chromosome 8, now out in @nature! We resolved 5 major gaps in the chromosome and charted the evolution of its centromere over the last 25 million years. https://t.co/anaT7IOpbM

Our paper on the giraffe genome is out. Didn't find a long neck gene, unfortunately. But we found some other cool adaptations to being absurdly tall.

Science: please just don’t use your phone right before bed and right after waking up, it’s literally destroying your circadian rhythm
