I’m stuck in bed between chemo treatments for metastatic coloncancer, wearing a take-home chemo pump attached to my chest. I wanted to share my advice that you can benefit from ‘Letting Your Colleagues In’ don’t need to struggle alone @insidehighered.com www.insidehighered.com/opinion/care...

At the workshop on #Phylogenomics and #EvolutionaryGenomics, @rokaslab.bsky.social will present a lecture & lab on phylogenomic incongruence. Attendees will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to diagnose causes of #incongruence. Space is limited - register today to ensure your attendance!

I think we've figured out the right solution at the Evolution Meetings: Bang for your buck, a virtual meeting two weeks before the in-person is the most cost-effective way to involve remote participants. A couple thoughts 🧵

Hey All!!! Take a look at this awesome highlight on our recent paper on sodium and its influence on butterfly behavior published in @royentsoc.bsky.social Ecological Entomology! www.royensoc.co.uk/news/salty-s...

Calling all natural history/museum collections folxs The theme of the @systbiol.bsky.social breakout meeting in Baton Rouge is 'The Importance of Natural History Collections' The LSU Museum of Natural Science will host some events. Hope to see you there, Jan 9-11, 2026. ssb2026.github.io

And excellent poacher talk by @danielgeldof.bsky.social and poster presentation by @ichthyangela.bsky.social (send her bagrids please) both from my lab. They presented today at #jmih25

Meet Dr. Laura Lagomarsino, who fell in love with plants during childhood camping trips in California's redwood forests. Her passion for plant-pollinator relationships began with a magical moment watching hummingbirds visit curved flowers in Costa Rica's cloud forests. #Botany 🧪 wp.me/pdRZhH-m9q

So proud of my students @sheifishy.bsky.social and @thegarfather.bsky.social for their excellent #jmih25 talks today. They are awesome and I’m lucky to be their advisor.

One more day to submit a lightning talk for the Germinating Ideas session at 1:30 on Weds at #Botany2025! Titles (no abstract) due by the end of the calendar day on July 11.

What would be a correct term for genome skimming in Spanish? Siento que “desnatado genómico” does not capture the essence. ¿Barrido genómico?

I start my new role as Director of the LSU Museum of Natural Science today - I’m extremely proud of this place and my colleagues here www.lsu.edu/mns/

Want to watch my Presidential Address from #Evol2025 where I share who I have learned from, how I hope to pay it forward, what I have learned from studying ants, and how it is all of our responsibility to create equitable and just futures for everyone? Watch here: www.youtube.com/live/vkBD3fg...

Finally, @evoyeyo.bsky.social will talk about phylogenomic discordance in both #Brachyotum #Melastomataceae and more broadly across Andean plant radiations tomorrow Tuesday at 11:45 in Olympia 2. #LagoLab #evol2025

I’m recruiting graduate students to join my lab at the University of New Orleans starting in January or September 2026! If you're at #Evol2025 and curious about my research, come to my talk on Saturday at 11:30 AM in Macroevolution & Diversification II. Contact me if interested. claramuntlab.org

Come be my colleague! Happy to answer questions about this role.

Excited for the first day of virtual #evol2025? The workshop day is always important for our community, especially early-career members. Think you might want to organize a workshop someday? Now is your chance - The SSB standalone is coming up in January! #ssb2026

I’ve been on the conference committee for the Evolution Meetings for the past three years, and I pretty strongly agree with all of this. We’ve been very committed to a robust virtual meeting, and I think have succeeded reasonably well. Our societies bought in and out marquee events online. Great!

More details coming soon, but mark your calendars ... Breakout meeting for @systbiol.bsky.social‬ The Society of Systematic Biologists - will be Jan 9-11 in Baton Rouge! Topic is 'The Importance of Natural History Collections' @jembrown.bsky.social is primary host/organizer ssb2026.github.io

Unsolicited listicle: My list of the most criminally underused/underappreciated phylogenetic comparative methods. Note, I am not involved in ANY of these methods; but I see them as things people are often asking of comparative data but have been surprised at how infrequently they have been cited.

On Friday, my son stayed home from school because he had a sore throat and wasn’t feeling well. He went with my husband to his office for the morning while I handled our daughter. When he came back at lunch, he was not interested in eating, saying his throat hurt too much. 1/n
