Our Annual Reviews article is finally out! We aimed to capture a lot of comparative genomics in mammals, while pointing out challenges and new directions. With @ekopania.bsky.social

So excited to have received a Catalyst award in support of outreach! I'm looking forward to teaching others about the evolution of vision!

I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the @mblscience.bsky.social Visual Neuroscience course these past two weeks! The MBL is an amazing place to do science and I learned so much to support my vision evolution research.

I’m excited to share a new paper with @shannoncurley.bsky.social in Ecography! Winter & breeding bird communities in the NE USA have become more functionally & phylogenetically similar to one another over time. Check out which functions have changed! doi.org/10.1002/ecog... #Macroecology 🌎🦃🦆🦅

What happens when NIH is under threat? 📉 Fewer clinical trials. 💔 No new treatments for cancer, rare diseases. And long-term? We surrender our global leadership in biomedical research. NIHers risked everything to speak out, b/c the stakes are life and death. Stand with them here⬇️ zurl.co/OArEE

📣PRESSURE WORKS!📣 The Trump administration has reversed its termination of thousands of students’ U.S. visa registrations, reinstating their legal status after legal challenges and court orders deemed the mass cancellations unlawful. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, DORKS! www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

ATTENTION: NSF GRANT RECIPIENTS We received a heads up from a trusted source that you should proactively download/print/screen shot any documentation on research.gov pertaining to your NSF awards, both those that are current and any that have closed in the last 5-6 years. 1/n

🚨Report your NSF grant terminations! 🚨 We are starting to collect information on NSF grant terminations to create a shared resource as we have for NIH. The more information we collect, the more we can organize, advocate, and fight back! Please share widely! airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni...

Last one for Tax Day – NOAA 🌊 The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $21/year to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. 💡 NOAA turns science into safety — for coasts, communities, & the climate. It helps safeguard lives, property, and ecosystems from rising seas and extreme weather.

📣 GET IN, DORKS! We are going protesting...AGAIN! 📣 This time we are standing up for our core value of academic freedom and asking university leadership to STAND UP WITH US against Trump's attack on higher ed ✊ #StandUpWithUS Register/find an event: actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

US students. Looking to apply to graduate school? Had an offer rescinded recently? The University of British Columbia in Canada will re-open the application portal in some departments for US students from April 14-18. Details: www.grad.ubc.ca/us-applicant... #ubc #AcademicSky #PhDSky #ScienceSky

Great opportunity to work with an awesome PI and do very cool evolutionary genomics research!

Our paper on the evolution of male reproduction in murine rodents was selected as the editor's choice article in the January issue of Evolution!

Very proud to share this outstanding work by @kelsiehunnicutt.bsky.social - now out in Genetics!

Starterpack of WoC and non-binary PoC in EcoEvo. Specifically, those of us who are members of the #WoCinEEB slack community. I'll keep adding people in the next few days. Please let me know if I missed you! Happy to provide info on how to join our community 💜 Please share! 🙏🏽 go.bsky.app/9iCneeT

Our work on the evolution of supergenes in Atlantic herring using long-reads and a distribution-wide dataset of Atlantic herring genomes is now out in @NatureComm! Lead by the long-read-queen Minal Jamsandekar and I. Work from my @MSCActions fellowship 😁 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For folks applying to (or writing letters for) GRFPs, I saw this on the other place (where I lurk for hurricane news): if you've been impacted by natural disasters (e.g., a hurricane) look here for resources and a way to contact NSF www.nsf.gov/naturaldisas...

I'm excited to share a preprint for my first work on eye and retina evolution! We tested long standing hypotheses regarding ecological and morphological correlates of specialized regions in the retina for high acuity vision doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Let's talk about Ernest Everett Just, a cell biologist who unraveled the mysteries of fertilization in spite of the obstacles he faced as an African-American. Just's story weaves together good, rigorous science with racism & tragedy. He was born in 1883 in seaside Charleston, South Carolina.

Sometimes a paper stops you in your tracks. New work from Loppin’s group found that histone eviction during sperm development ensures that paternal chromosomes aren’t mistaken for maternal chromosomes in the Drosophila embryo. My Perspective: www.science.org/doi/full/10.... 1/2

Physically interacting proteins have evolutionary rates that covary over time, but it has little to do with their actual interface. Their rates covary simply because of parallel changes in selective constraint. Congrats Jordan Little!

I'm excited to collect data from some museum specimens next week!

It’s that time of year again! If you’re thinking of applying for an #NSF #PRFB my application material can be found here - github.com/mam737/Appli... A few things I didn’t know before applying… (1/4)

Hello, Bluesky! I'm planning to make this my new science social media account, and eventually move off of twitter, or whatever it's called theses day.
