See you soon, #CSEE2025! I’m teaching two workshops and giving a talk in SWEEET. Get in touch if you want to chat about conservation science, what it’s like to work at an ENGO, research partnerships with @ncccnc.bsky.social, etc.

We have a preprint reviewing how genomics has been used to inform evolutionary significant units globally, find inconsistencies, and give recommendations. Genomics is a powerful tool and hopefully can be used more effectively for conservation of ESUs! #consgen #popgen www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Dear population genetics and genomics community. I've created a Population Genomics Feed to help broadly share ideas, discussions, and research bsky.app/profile/did:... #PopGen #PopulationGenomcs and/or #PopulationGenetics will add the post to the feed!

Calling for your paper for the upcoming collection: Genomics of endangered species 🐬🐒🐸🐍🫎🐧🦉🌴🌿 #consgen #conservationgenetics #conservationgenomics I’m very happy to be serving as Guest Editor and eager to read your submission. Deadline: 13 August 2025 More info: bit.ly/48VA9l6 @BioMedCentral

Wanting to share our new preprint relevant to the #consgen community! Want to measure runs of homozygosity but don’t have enough depth for Plink or BCFtools? We show that it can be done as low as ~3-5X in ROHan but careful parameterization and interpretation is key: www.authorea.com/users/857111...
