I'm looking to recruit a PhD student to study patterns of local adaptation and introgression across the spruce hybrid zone in the Rockies near Calgary. Projects can include field work, bioinformatics, pop gen theory, or comparison to plant/ conifer species yeamanlab.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/...

I am happy to share my second paper with @samyeaman.bsky.social and collaborators! If you are into hybrid zones and tree genomics, this is for you! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to finally have the pre-print up for this work on evolutionary rescue from my PhD at UBC! Previous theoretical work on the effects of negative density-dependent growth on evolutionary rescue has uncovered inconsistent results, leading to an incomplete understanding of its influence.

I simply stood on the shoulders of giants. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be doing what I love. I could not have asked for a better supervisor @sallyaitken.bsky.social, lab mates, faculty @forestry.ubc.ca, and university! This journey has been amazing! Thank you, Sally!

Hi everybody! Welcome to my page :) I'm a MSc student at UBC. I'm currently studying the evolution of genome structure in Douglas-fir. More broadly, I'm interested in evolution, genomics, climate change & forest genetics!

Great news - we will be searching for a tree physiologist (tenure track) to join the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, UBC Forestry, later this year. Stay tuned! (Please share.)

Let's talk about this Nature piece in more detail. I've rarely read something so anti-scientific anywhere short of the National Review. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Canada’s new Rural Community Immigration Pilot offers permanent residence to skilled workers who want to work and settle in rural and more remote communities. 14 pilot communities will approve certain employers to hire for jobs that they can’t fill with local workers. More info here:

A new study from Colorado State University reveals that tree ranges in the interior US West are contracting due to climate change, with limited expansion into cooler, wetter areas. The study highlights the potential need for human-assisted tree migration. phys.org/news/2025-02...

A record-high number of Indigenous people were elected in Brazil’s municipal elections, a key move that should increase the number of Indigenous people elected in the 2026 state and federal ballots, activists say. My latest for @mongabay.bsky.social news.mongabay.com/2024/10/braz...

I'm recruiting for a PhD position to study the genomic basis of repeated adaptation at the University of Calgary. We have a big multi-species dataset and aim to expand it, with many unexplored avenues to test fundamental theories of evolution yeamanlab.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/...

PhD chapter published! ✅ In a common garden study outside the natural range, we found weak local adaptation to climate in western larch seedlings and no effects of selective breeding on spring phenology or cold hardiness. With @sallyaitken.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Very glad to see this out in press. Please feel free to get in touch if you want to chat about it.

A Brazilian supreme court justice Friday ordered the suspension of X in Latin America’s largest country, a dramatic escalation in a months-long dispute between platform owner Elon Musk and Brazilian jurists over the limits of freedom of speech in an era gripped by polarization and disinformation.
