I am recruiting graduate students to begin August 2026. Apply by Nov 15th!

Today is the day! Go visit @alencarlrv.bsky.social's poster to check the work she's brilliantly leading with the participation of a stellar team (and me)! See some cool stuff about the evolution of ovi/viviparity and climate in squamates, trying to uncover its hidden dynamics! #evol2025

Brazilians at #Evol2025! @mjanuario.bsky.social and I are planning ab informal meetup tomorrow after the poster session (~7:30pm) at Creature comforts, a brewery 10 min from the conference center. Non-Brazilians who want to mingle and hear some Portuguese are always welcome!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

The #evol2025 FOMO is real 🥲 First one I'm missing since 2017.... Wishing you all a great conference, and make sure you check @alencarlrv.bsky.social's poster for some really cool stuff!

New from the Near Lab, a super collaboration led by @chasedbrownstein.bsky.social Phylogenomics and evolutionary history of the iconic reef fish clade wrasses and parrotfishes (Labridae) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adu6149

What can #population-level processes tell us about large-scale #biodiversity? 🧵: 1/8 A key question in #evolutionary #biology: Can we predict how quickly lineages diversify (#speciation rates) based on #traits observable at the population level? #microevolution #macroevolution

Please share this opportunity widely! Instructors: @fmachado.bsky.social @alencarlrv.bsky.social @joelmcglothlin.bsky.social Jacqueline Sztepanacz, Patrick Carter & Joe Felsenstein (virtually)

Yesterday, we had a fantastic time at the Scientists in Action workshop at Dixwell Q House! Our team engaged with enthusiastic middle schoolers about our research. A big thank you to everyone who made this event a success! We look forward to more opportunities to inspire young minds!

New preprint from postdoc @bpwaldron.bsky.social and coauthors! Love to get to think about salamanders sometimes with the help of real experts like Brian, was my original academic goal to be a salamander biologist and I'm largely failing. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

You are invited to an online presentation "The Secret Lives of California Snakes" on Feb 20 from 12-1pm PT. Register ahead of time here: lpfw.org/snakes-webinar. Please share!
