Last week was a blast! Attending the @evoltree.bsky.social - @forgenius-eu.bsky.social conference hosted by INIA CSIC on "Integrative Diversity of Forest Ecosystems" was unforgettable.

Rejection is the norm: During the summer I had two unsuccessful fellowship applications. Writing up another one and looking for postdocs as plan B…. I still put all my hopes and can’t help but imagine myself in the positions I apply to!

Second fellowship application submitted :) we will see! Then we had a little adventure 🌳🌲

How exciting, I just submitted my first application for a research proposal and fellowship @royalsociety.org #NewtonInternationalFellowship Fingers crossed!

Our SOM-based genotype imputation method wasselected as From the Cover article in the new issue of Molecular Ecology Resorces. So glad!

I am looking for a Postdoc (2 years, start Spring 2025) with strong bioinfo. skills to work on herring adaptation to climate change at @naturhistoriska The project will use modern + aDNA, climate data, SDM and genomic simulations. #aDNA #conservationgenetics #consgen Ad will come soon!

Grinding larch cambium for DNA extraction. How cool but also, 520 more samples to go lol

I am excited to announce that registration and abstract submission is now open for Forest Genetics 2025 – ‘Harnessing Genetic Diversity for Resilient Forests’. Join us in State College, Pennsylvania from June 23-27, 2025 - all are welcome! forestgeneticsconference2025.com #forestgenetics2025
