Don't forget to apply to our position in Evolutionary Genetics at U of South Carolina! In my experience it is a fantastic place to start a new lab, with friendly and supportive colleagues and many junior faculty in EEB! Review starts in 1 week (Oct 1)!

I'm hiring a postdoc to work in theoretical / computational phylogenomics! More info at tinyurl.com/63hb5ew8. Please share!

Big news! We are recruiting a postdoc to work on tomatillo evolution: jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDeta.... The clade containing tomatillos and its allies (ca 300 spp) has evolved lantern fruits at least 25 times - we want to know why! Join us @rociodeanna.bsky.social & @caschenck-bio.bsky.social

Please repost and amplify ! We are hiring a faculty position in Evolutionary Genetics in the Biology Department at U of South Carolina! Check us out and come be our colleague! sc.edu/study/colleg... Deadline for applications is Oct 1 #AcademicJobs #EvoBio

This is an awesome summary of @trinitydepatie.bsky.social 's new paper!!! Thanks @aidanwshort.bsky.social ! Check it out folks!!!!

👏👏👏

🌸 Today's Graduate Student Excellence Award highlight is Aidan Short, NSF Postdoctoral Fellow @sc.edu Aidan studies how divergent pollinator adaptation contributes to genome divergence and speciation. More on Aidan ⬇️ and follow him: @aidanwshort.bsky.social

Does anyone in my network know of a recent rooftop research greenhouse project? We're looking for info, advice, schematics, plans, anything would be helpful! Thanks!!!

Love making maps Here are some samples from Penstemon newberryi x davidsonii hybrid zone at Virginia Lakes trail in the Sierras Color = flower color!

My favorite answer to a final exam question: What is one thing you learned in this semester* that you found interesting or surprising? (*required Ecology and Evolution course for Bio majors) "That I actually liked this course." lol

Check out the advance version of @trinitydepatie.bsky.social's first(!) paper on her VERY GROOVY personate penstemons!!!

Our hero lorna

Our publication on the genomics of the firecracker penstemon is out. This was the result of a two-semester graduate class that I co-taught with David Jarvis. We wanted to sequence something meaningful to the western US, so we chose a penstemon species. doi.org/10.1093/jher...

Join us!! I'm recruiting a postdoc and grad student to work with us on parallel trait evolution, quant and pop gen, and speciation in penstemons. Find out more about our research interests here: wessingerlab.github.io . Informal inquiries welcome!

Join us!! I'm recruiting a grad student (Fall 2025) to work on parallel trait evolution, pop gen, quant gen, and/or speciation with us at beautiful U. of South Carolina! #evosky More info here!: evoldir.tumblr.com/post/7594940...

Hey #Botany2024 stop by my talk tomorrow morning to FINALLY hear about what @carriewessi.bsky.social and I have learned about the genetic architecture of Penstemon’s personate flowers!! Tuesday - 8:30am- Development & Structure - Grand Gallery B
