i will be giving a talk on some recently published work on the 4th of December. Come by (zoom link below) if you want to think and learn about the evolution of mutual dependence and synchronised reproduction in endosymbioses!

A while ago @caritalindstedt.bsky.social asked me “would you puke to save the group?” Well not me personally, there's real science about the evolution of cooperation here. With the help of talented student @abhay-gupta.bsky.social, we now have answers! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/epdf/10....

The Sudmant lab at UC Berkeley is seeking a postdoc to work on a fully funded NIH project to understand differences in DNA repair and somatic mutation across the primate tree of life. Please spread widely to those who may be interested aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05052

Excited to share my latest publication- Here, we demonstrate that wild painted turtles show behavioral syndromes, and boldness predicts nest site choice. Thanks sm to @ccrowther.bsky.social for her help with this project 🐢🦝 authors.elsevier.com/a/1k-tHmjMA3pk

New research from our lab exploring the ecological consequences of behavioral syndromes! @morganichemistry.bsky.social shows that antipredator behavior in painted turtles is repeatable and associated with ecologically significant variation in nest site choice. authors.elsevier.com/c/1k-tHmjMA3pk

This is a long shot, but are there any registered Australian voters in the vicinity of Clinton, Iowa, who could witness my vote for the federal election?

Postdoc position with @milocco.bsky.social at @scilifelab.se and @stockholm-uni.bsky.social in predictive modeling in evolution and development. #Evolution #Popgen #Modeling #Postdoc

NEWS: It began with Mahmoud Khalil. Now the Trump admin is trying to deport *hundreds* of students by vaguely saying they have criminal records—making them guess why. Some have traffic violations. Some didn't even commit a crime. One's "criminal record"? Apparently being a domestic violence victim.

Of extra importance given MSU's confirmation that some of our international students have had their visas revoked as @statenews.com reports, statenews.com/article/2025...

A number of international students at private universities across Greater Boston and in the University of Massachusetts system have had their visas revoked in recent days.

It is extremely frightening how quickly the illegal deportation of international scholars and students has escalated, with little resistance from uni admins.

Rubio says that El Salvador has agreed to accept deportations of American citizens www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Trump is seeking to deport another academic who is legally in the country, lawsuit says www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Very excited to publish this work from my thesis in @jevbio.bsky.social Give it a read if you are interested in how species that are sensitive to developmental temperatures could adapt to climate change.

Another wave of layoffs hit the federal government, this time including climate scientists and modelers at NOAA. An estimated 800 employees were fired, likely ensuring that the US government won’t be able to model the weather or predict extreme events going forward . www.npr.org/2025/02/27/n...

Ok this is not ok. ASM actively sought out BMA and its members for Juneteenth and Black History month content for the last 4 years. Actively asked for black labor and then takes it down?! @asm.org this is unacceptable. You should be standing up for marginalized microbiologists not erasing them.
