SINGER, our ARG inference method, is finally published and freely available online: doi.org/10.1038/s415... It was a long journey – 16 months from initial submission to acceptance. Is it just me, or has peer review gotten more arduous lately? 4+ rounds of review isn't so unusual these days...

The constant barrage of terrible news on bluesky has made me feel weird about promoting papers, but people in the lab have been doing so much amazing work over the past few months that I want to share a few brief teasers/links:

Please share broadly: I am looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work on a collaborative project on the temporal population genomics of invasive Capeweed (using contemporary and herbarium genomics), with ‪‪@shaky-dingo.bsky.social‬ and colleagues

A nice profile of the wonderful Annie Schmitt www.ucdavis.edu/news/among-a...

Sanaa Khan from @katelaskowski.bsky.social lab talks about when males of Atlantic mollies transfer their sperm to sperm parasites Amazon mollies. An amazing talk with incredibly cool results! #Behaviour2025 @behaviour2025.bsky.social

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/...

Excited to share our new preprint for the tskit_arg_visualizer Python package! ARGs can sometimes feel like a black box, so @yanwong.bsky.social and I have been developing a method to programmatically drawing these graphs. 🔗 arxiv.org/abs/2508.03958 1/6

Excited to be at the ESA Annual Meeting! I am presenting Tuesday morning on understanding processes of community disassembly and secondary extinctions using modern coexistence theory. Also would love to chat with folks at the conference so feel free to message if you’d like to chat!

Please share this widely and encourage students to apply! Many of our current graduate students were recruited through this program -- happy to answer any questions and connect with students bsky.app/profile/stan...

Poster presentation done at my first conference ever !( #Evol2025 ) Thank-you to everyone who came by !

Pleased to share that my first, first-author publication was published yesterday in @pnas.org ! We (me + @jrossibarra.bsky.social) did a little bit of detective work to better understand the age and origin of a mutation that played a key role in maize domestication. doi.org/10.1073/pnas... (1/n)

Trip report from our recent excursion into Emigrant Wilderness over Memorial Day Weekend! james-kitchens.com/blog/upper-c...

I'm excited to share our new preprint on the molecular evolution of heterodichogamy in two wingnut genera of Juglandaceae. Heterodichogamy features two morphs synchronously alternating male and female flowering phases in time to generate disassortative mating. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Hey! Super excited to be hosting this SMTPB Grad and Postdoc research showcase. The first session is happening on Monday (March 5th) If you have a postdoc position or a job to advertise in this session, please feel free to reply in this thread or email me ([email protected])!!
