This will spark some great papers: an open digital dataset of roads in the Roman Empire www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I recently moved my lab to Purdue University and am looking for graduate students. We are working at the interface of population genomics, quantitative genetics and functional genomics to understand how plants adapt to extreme environments. Reach out if you would like to discuss potential projects.

So many more em dashes…

Awesome aerial photo of our switchgrass harvest at the @kelloggbiostn.bsky.social by Ruben Ulbrich. You can see the progression of the harvest from right to left: cut plants to tied plants to soon to be tied plants. @msupri.bsky.social

Nice to see this great write-up about our recent paper in Molecular Ecology. "Chromosomal Rearrangements Might Play a Central Role in Adaptation" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Oh my. This seems like an impossible task with all the nuance and different approaches to authorship across fields and even sub-disciplines. The incentive to leave early career technicians and others off of papers as authors is going to be high. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Bumping this up one last time. I'm looking to hire graduate student(s) to work on an NSF-funded project to study elevational range shifts among dragonflies here in Colorado. @cudenverclas.bsky.social 🧪🌍🐙 Applications will be considered until Nov 1. See post below for more details

Anyone looking for an undergrad research assistant this coming summer? I have a truly phenomenal undergrad with expertise in genetic mapping, long read sequencing & bioinformatics who wants experience in another lab before grad school. She has been in our lab for 3 years & writing her first paper!

Great visit this morning to the Carnegie Institution for Science and Jasper Ridge with Joanna Feehan and @lauracleventhal.bsky.social. Sat at the “co-evolution” table and found some photos of young Clausen, Keck, and Hiesey.

Last bloom of the season for the magnificent monkeyflower in Northern California.

Woooo-hooooo!!!!!
