I’m excited to announce I was selected as a
2024 Biota Award recipient from the Walder
Foundation!

We're going to be working on fish conservation on the Fox River, Illinois, and beyond!

New Paper. Evidence for early stages of speciation in the fossil record. Darwin pleased?

@calebdmcmahan @ucmpberkeley Thanks to @NSF for funding.

I am very proud! The Phenotypic Evolution Time Series (PETS) database is now online!

https://t.co/bOsquEhUxM

PETS is a public database containing data on phenotypic change within (fossil and contemporary) lineages.

Why did we make it? A short 🧵

The Department of Biology at Loyola U Chicago is searching for a TT assistant professor in genetics, genomics, or bioinformatics. A great department in a great city on Lake Michigan. Happy to answer questions! @DiversifyEEB @ASNAmNat @sse_evolution https://t.co/EgmdorCQQN

A description of our attempt to see if nuclear fallout affects population evolution. The dang Daphnia didn't hatch though. At least the radioisotope dating data are usable.

@ambikamath Ha! I did not find it. My training is lax.

Biology Dept. at Loyola U. Chicago hiring 3 NTTs on 3yr renewable contracts to teach Neuro, Cell Bio, or Genetics. NTT are unionized and treated well here. Chicago is awesome.

Highlighting two new papers by my former tech and current U. Chicago grad student Sam Swank. On parallel (or not) evolution of vertebrate hindlimb reduction at the genetic level. Pitx1 not as prevalent as we predicted. @ThSanger

@LizardMichele PDF approach too. "Handwritten" digital comments and edits with a tablet and stylus. Students get both and it keeps me from over editing with the keyboard.

[Yoel Stuart @yestuart]

A few folks have asked. I haven't started reviewing apps yet. Also, Loyola treats postdocs as teaching faculty for some reason. Hence the ask for the formal teaching and diversity statements. Teaching is optional, for CV, interest, or to extend funding. It's a postdoc position.

[Yoel Stuart @yestuart]

I'm hiring! @NSF CAREER award. Postdoc to prepare, collect, and analyze data from a high-resolution, long-term threespine stickleback fossil series. Questions of evolutionary tempo and mode, micro- and macro evolution. 5yrs lakeside in awesome Chicago.

@DanielBolnick @ASNAmNat Pitx1 actually. It's usually EDA thought, given Dolph's talk just before.
