My first chapter is out! Population genomics of the western chicken turtle showed a surprising degree of structure: nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Paper out! We tested the ability of short-read pangenomes to capture variants for population genomics. Super excited to have been part of this project. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

now that I have projects on whales and quail… I may have to branch out of vertebrates and get into snails. also, who should I talk to about changing the plural of “quail” to “quails”?

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

The administration has “proposed a rule change that would essentially prohibit only actions that directly hurt or kill actual animals, not the habitats they rely on. If finalized, the change could make it easier to log, mine and build on lands that endangered species need to thrive.” 🌱🐋🧪🌎

Just thinking about what the US looked like before the EPA existed

can I code fast? no. but can I code well? also no. but does my code work? alas, no

I created this stater pack with women in ecology and evolution. If you want to be added you can comment or DM me, but also please suggest the names of those I am missing 🧪🌎🌐 go.bsky.app/8jFH7cS

Very stoked to get the most recent cover of @sicbjournals.bsky.social! Here's a glorious, pad-reduced viper #gecko (Hemidactylus imbricatus). Check out our the article below and the rest of this awesome issue! doi.org/10.1093/icb/... #GeckoEvoDevo

first post may as well be about this paper from our lab that came out last week! we present a framework for population genomic datasets aimed at making interpretation more approachable, especially for use in conservation onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
