I am looking for a graduate student to join my lab at the U. of Utah starting 2023! Candidates interested in ethnographic and biocultural research on human behavior, health and energetics especially encouraged to apply. More details: https://t.co/2R8YWuXqYo

Our new genomics paper on the adaptive evolution of cebids (capuchin and squirrel monkeys) was published in PNAS today

@PaigeEHaffener @aaronquinlan The layout we've been using is pretty basic. I have databases of people, projects, grants, and tasks. Each project page has the following sections: questions for me (active and archived), table of contents, description, tasks, weekly goals, lit review (optional), and notes

[Tim Webster @TimWebster17]

@PaigeEHaffener @aaronquinlan Yep, we have been using Notion for computational lab notebooks and project management. The combination of price (free for students and educators) and flexibility were a big selling point for us.

One of my dissertation chapters is now out at PNAS! Check it out 😎 https://t.co/dZX8Yz4T91

Happy to share a new preprint on the evolutionary history of bonobos and chimpanzees using genomic data. Brief thread to follow 👇 (1/n) https://t.co/K7JO2jpeg6

[Tina Lasisi, PhD @TinaLasisi]

I’ve been feeling pretty nervous about this blog post coming out

It took me months to put words to what I had to go through in grad school and this final draft still only represents a fraction of it

But I hope it's useful to anyone who’s going through something similar

[Tim Webster @TimWebster17]

Hazel put a remarkable amount of work into this project, both annotating the genome and conducting downstream analyses herself!

[Tim Webster @TimWebster17]

New preprint up, led by @hazel_byrne_: "Signatures of adaptive evolution in platyrrhine primate genomes"!! In addition to the selection analyses, this paper also presents a de novo genome for Sapajus apella. https://t.co/b4V0Vt7sF0

[Colin M. Brand @colinmbrand]

If you haven’t already checked out @TinaLasisi and colleagues brilliant new paper on hair phenotyping, I strongly suggest you do so! https://t.co/l0QeugW3Tx

New paper alert! Sifakas' leaf-eating habits run all the way to their genes, but a flexible diet may give them unforeseen advantages. Today in @ScienceAdvances. By @goguevara, with Lydia Greene and @theyoderlab @DukeBiology.

Apps due today (1/31)! TT faculty position in the Dept. of Anthropology at the University of Utah in evolutionary ecology. Reminder that this is broad: if your research is anthropological (human or nonhuman primates), quantitative, empirical, and evolutionary, we're interested!
