So excited to be part of the planning group for this!! If you haven't attended CanFunNet in the past, it is a great virtual conference with lots of talks and tons of trainee participation!

if this is helpful to anyone in this thread, i find this graphic very helpful when i do alt text!

Today, we remember the 14 women murdered on December 6, 1989, in the Montreal Massacre at École Polytechnique. Their lives were stolen by misogyny, but their names and stories remain with us. They will never be forgotten.

Listening to the entire Pokemon Platinum OST while I do dry lab work is such a vibe #PhDSky #AcademicSky

Mom said it's my turn to be at the top of the MEME job que🫠 #PhDLife #academicsky #PhDSky

Highly encourage PhD students and Postdocs to apply for this international conference! The GRS is specially designed to mentor young scientists! @phdvoice.bsky.social

Hi 🦋! My name is Grant Nickles, 5th year PhD student studying fungal natural products in the Keller lab @ UW-Madison. More specifically, I've been developing genome mining strategies to investigate poorly characterized non-canonical fungal pathways. academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

Here's the second starter pack of Early Career Evolutionary Biologists: go.bsky.app/j5DX3f Link to first starter pack: go.bsky.app/MzND7nX Follow these inspirational folks to support the next generation of evolutionary biologists #evobio Out of time for now! Will add more names this weekend

Here's a starter pack for early career researchers in evolutionary biology. I prioritized the most-junior folks, and this list quickly filled up with undergrads, grad students, and postdocs. Might do another list later, but I'm tired. Have fun everyone! 🐒 #evobio go.bsky.app/MzND7nX

Genomics, evolution, and more starter pack! Help build community with this starter pack. This list is currently incomplete. Want to be included? Reply and I will remedy that! go.bsky.app/JjvzkWU

Happy #TapiocaTuesday everyone! Tapioca is one of my pups and she is an excellent reminder that my life also exists outside of the lab. These pictures make my day better so I hope they can do the same for you 💕

JOB ALERT! A fully funded PhD opportunity awaits at Uppsala University, Sweden, focusing on the evolution and biology of lichen photobionts. The position will involved field work, molecular lab work and data analyses (from meta-omics to pop genetics). #PhDposition www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

Thrilled to have our recent review on giant #fungal #transposons, called Starships, featured on the cover of Trends in Genetics! Accompanied by some fantastic artwork! With @mycomile.bsky.social. www.cell.com/trends/genet...

The high quality Chinese white truffle genome and novel fossil-calibrated estimate of Pezizomycetes divergence reveal the tempo and mode of true truffles genome evolution https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.11.26.625401v1

A great opportunity and program for undergrads interested in #evolution, #ecology!!

Applications are due February 19 for the R. C. Lewontin Early Awards, which provide up to $2500 in research funds for 1st year master’s and 1st or 2nd year PhD students. Read the full requirements, instructions, and evaluation criteria here: https://buff.ly/3YZlUHf

For those who love CRISPR/Cas9 engineering check Greg's latest work: "Engineered transcription-associated Cas9 targeting in eukaryotic cells" www.nature.com/articles/s41... Happy to have had a very minor contribution to this work!

For our first academic bluesky post we're excited to share this story on how a #yeast sugar transporter found a new function. Led by Dr. John Crandall, we dissected how an alpha-glucoside transporter in S. eubayanus evolved to transport maltotriose! #MBE academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

Hello BlueSky! We are pleased to announce our transfer from X to here. 😁 Please follow for the latest regarding the J.F. Crow Institute for Evolution at UW-Madison.

NEW Publication!😄 Here, we show how #PhyKIT — a broadly applicable toolkit for #phylogenomics — can be used to construct phylogenomic data matrices (& quantify biases therein), detect anomalies in predicted orthology, calculate gene-gene coevolution, & more! 🔗: tinyurl.com/yc5ja4xz

🍻 cheers to yeast researchers!

Wisconsin Evolution is accepting applications for Early Career Awardees! Please pass this along to any PhD students or post docs who may be interested in visiting UW-Madison to give a guest lecture at our Evolution Seminar Series evolution.wisc.edu/seminars/ear...

Hi everyone! I'm a PhD candidate in Dr. Chris Todd Hittinger's Lab who loves fungi🍄 Follow me if you're interested in fungal and yeast biology. I currently am working on elucidating a brand new galactose metabolic pathway in yeasts (here's the first pub to the story): doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Hi there, I'm new to bluesky! Follow if you are interested in fungal and yeast biology! 🍄🧫 I worked on a fungal pathogen and now work on yeast diversity with a particular interest in metabolic and stress response variation. I'm excited to build community over here and learn new things from y'all🧬🔬🦠
