Our work on evolutionary rescue is finally out in this week's issue of PNAS! Check out the NCBS communications team piece on our work quoted below.

This year I’m teaching a science writing course. When the course started, I had this exact conversation with the students - Your thoughts are fuzzy phantoms that ping around in your brain. If you want to catch and share those thoughts you need to pin them to the page.

📜 New preprint alert. Our work on evolutionary rescue is now up on bioRxiv! We tracked flour beetle populations for ~5 years (70 generations) to understand how populations adapt to harsh environments, and which traits help them survive.

If making chemical tools for biology excites you, consider applying to the NCBS graduate program! My lab plans to hire 1–2 graduate students this cycle. More info on my lab @ dyecraftlab.com
