New preprint! In collaboration with @ergabiodiv.bsky.social, we explored the convergent #evolution of the S-locus #supergene controlling distyly in the #primrose family. Link: doi.org/10.1101/2025... #heterostyly #genomics #preprint #bioRxiv

*Postdoc in Evolutionary genomics at Stockholm University* We are recruiting a postdoc for a large interdisciplinary project to investigate evolutionary drivers and genomic consequences of pollen evolution in response to pollination mode shifts in flowering plants. 1/5 su.varbi.com/what:job/job...

I made a Fjällräven backpack from an IKEA bag! And you know I don't gatekeep-- the pattern is FREE and the most glorious sewing instructions I've ever created. You can use regular canvas, too. #ikea #Fjällräven beckystern.com/2025/05/25/s...

The final version of our paper on the evolution of supergenes and mechanisms underlying distyly in Linum is now up at New Phytologist doi.org/10.1111/nph....

This week I'm attending a conference at my alma mater (Universityof Bordeaux). I haven't been here since 2008. Fun fact: I never studied in the building the conf is happening, but I spent many hours there, because that's where the RPG club I belonged to used to meet.

This made me think of @olima.bsky.social immediately

Postdoc job opportunity! We're looking for ECR in evolutionary genomics to study the relation between intra-specific gene expression variability, polymorphism, and macro-evolutionary rates. We have the data in 3 fishes & amphioxus, just waiting for your expertise and enthusiasm! tinyurl.com/3aewk286

(1/2) The world’s smallest Dala horse! 🧪 What happens when you combine an #ElectronMicroscope with an artist's vision? At UCEM, a SciLifeLab unit at @umeauniversitet.bsky.social, the tiny Dala horse was created using a FIB-SEM. Photos: Erik Olof Wiklund, Nils Hauff, Mattias Pettersson. #FIBSEM

drawing a popgen blank. anyone know where I can find math for the allele frequency spectrum of a population (not a sample from the population) given a demography model (piecewise constant or whatever)?

Here we go again! Visite d'élèves (entre 10 et 12 ans) à l'université pour discuter recherche, science, et faire des expériences !

Happy #Easter

New preprint! We investigated the evolution of supergenes and mechanisms underlying distyly in Linum species that diverged ca 33 Mya. 1/8 bsky.app/profile/bior...

Back in Stockholm after 3 days in Linköping for the "Evolution in Sweden" conference. Intense event full of great presentations and discussions! It is amazing to discover the various projects people are working on, share their ideas and passion, and meet both familiar and new faces.

November project: le sweatshirt "Pépite" de Super Bison. Voici ma première version de "Pépite", dans un French terry automnal de chez Korps, et une chute de sweat noir de chez Mercerine. Trop galérée avec la pointe devant... du coup c'est pas en pointe 😅

What a fantastic week it has been! Science outreach to kids in school years 4 & 5 (9-11 yo)! The children came to university for half a day. We talked about what researchers do (a lot of thinking and writing, just like them), about cells and DNA, and did some experiments.

Today, 5 million 🇸🇪 households will begin receiving the brochure “In case of crisis or war.” The brochure informs Swedish residents on how to prepare for, and their duties during, a crisis or war. Download the full English brochure here ⬇️ www.msb.se/en/advice-fo...
