There are key moments, key role models, key events in a person's life that shape who they are and what they do. I vividly remember learning about Dr Goodall's work at a birthday party as a child and deciding that is what "I would do when I grew up". She was the nudge that pushed me into science

Heads up: ignore samtools dot org, similarly minimap2 dot com and likely others. It's owned by a known phishing site and while the binaries they offer look valid currently (but note they may be serving us different binaries to others), that could change. Ie: it's not us (Samtools team)! Be warned

This is one of the reasons I am so passionate about the Caleb Scholars program. We give students funds to return home to learn from elders as they go to school, and we find undergrads though professional/PhD programs bc I know how hard it was to return home during grad school. www.calebscholars.org

If you like to connect with modellers of various flavours, who like to think about complex multiscale things, consider this "SCALES" workshop here in Mainz! Sept 1-5. model.uni-mainz.de/scales-confe...

The loss of diversity, including genetic diversity in crops like potatoes, poses a serious risk to global food security by undermining the resilience of many agricultural systems to pests, pathogens & climate change. 🥔 .— @ipbes.net #GlobalAssessment 🎥 For #InternationalDayOfPotato w/ @fao.org

Climate change is far reaching and we must curb emissions. Many years ago Nico and I found an oil painting in a small Alpine Broki. We soon found out it is of a famous 'study' spot in Blatten. Today it is no more. We must do more to protect species, culture, and landscapes. #blatten #glacier

The destruction of the village of Blatten in Switzerland by a melting glacier, is a stark reminder of the immediate perils of global warming. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m... Well done to the geologists and local authorities for evacuating the village in good time and avoiding a tragedy.

Hey y'all! My department is conducting a search for an assistant or associate professor in bacteriology. It's pretty broadly defined. If you know anyone who's looking for a great department that does awesome science - please send them our way! You can DM me with any questions you have 😀

What a beautiful spot for a workshop!

The Trump regime has proposed redefining “harm” in the Endangered Species Act (ESA) as directly injuring/killing an #animal and not as habitat modification/destruction. In fact, habitat loss is the largest cause of extinction. You can object by submitting a comment by May 17, 2025.

I have worked with several excellent USGS researchers. I can also state that without question, the USGS Powell Center Macrogenetics working group was instrumental in my career success and that of two other new Professors, this same working group was instrumental for multiple high impact papers.

Help! Is anyone else finding batch effects between whole genome sequences generated with Illumina NovaSeq6000 vs NovaSeqX? Any suggestions or solutions would be hugely appreciated! 🙏 #PopGen #ConGen #Bioinformatics #Genomics 🧬🖥️🧪

“From April 14-18, select UBC graduate programs at UBC Vancouver will re-open their applications for US citizens to be considered for Sept 2025 or Jan 2026 entry - they are ready to provide quick admissions decisions for these applicants“ #gradstudent #gradschool www.grad.ubc.ca/us-applicant...

Who does that? We rented a train JUST for the conference, that will take the participants from Prague to the woods of Bohemia. There'll be talks ON THE TRAIN. In Prague we'll have 5 locations with different atmospheres. #theconferencetoendallconferences Register now: woodstock.img.cas.cz

🦋 Nominations are now open for fellows to contribute to the second IPBES global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services. ⏰ Interested early-career individuals with academic and/or professional experience in relevant fields are invited to apply by 28 March 2025.

Women & girls bear the heaviest burden of environmental degradation. 🌿 @ipbes.net #GlobalAssessment This #IWD2025, let's remember that inclusive environmental governance isn't just fair - it's essential for effective biodiversity protection.

Dear US colleagues, In response to the Trump administration, my university @univ-amu.fr is setting up a new program dedicated to welcoming American scientists wishing to pursue their work in France. There are several M$ in the budget. www.univ-amu.fr/en/public/ac...

As the world is very dark, I wanted to lighten it by sharing some amazing ( 😜 ) AI pictures of scientists I got while making some outreach images in co-pilot....

Protected Areas are important for global conservation. However, their impact on genetic diversity has long remained unclear. Check out our new paper lead by @chloology.bsky.social which answers this question for mammals and fish. 🧪 lnkd.in/ePDzJeef #ProtectedAreas #Science #Biodiversity

3-y postdoc position in (meta)Genomics of Population Declines elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid.... If you have experience with low-coverage genomic data, care about biodiversity loss, want to understand host-microbiomes interactions, this post is for you! #museomics #ancientDNA #mammals

well lets hope for FAIR and OPEN science that NCBI is back up soon.... 🧪

🚨New #policy research! A recent study explores how the #conservation of #GeneticDiversity can be integrated into the EU’s Nature Restoration Regulations & why safeguarding genetic diversity is key to ecosystem resilience🌿 Read more here: www.coalitionforconservationgenetics.org/resources-da...

Genetic diversity has declined within two-thirds of more than 600 species over the past three decades, according to research published in Nature. The findings highlight the need for conservation efforts to prevent genetic diversity loss. https://go.nature.com/42EpVo5 🧪
