Thank you #PEQG26 for the best conference of my life! Had so much fun chairing, connecting with my NYU crew and re-connecting with fabulous past and present Sudmant lab and Berkeley IB folks! What a ride! :)

We are excited to share our pan-pangenome paper! This is a long time coming work of my postdoc with the incredible @psudmant.bsky.social, and a stellar group of people! I hope you enjoy reading it! And I am excited to talk more more about it this week at #PEQG26!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Mark your calendars for #PEQG26 June 9–12, 2026, at Pacific Grove, CA. I’m excited to attend this cross-disciplinary meeting of researchers doing theoretical and experimental work in broad fields. See you all there! genetics-gsa.org/peqg-2026/

Very much looking forward to teaching our second edition of the Latin American biodiversity genomics course, this time in Argentina.

I am thrilled to announce that in January 2026 I will be starting my own lab at NYU Biology! Soon enough I will be recruiting postdocs and students! Please reach out if you are interested with a CV and description of your research interests, or if you know of people who could be interested! 🧬🗽 🦊

So happy to share this paper! It's been so much fun working on this project with these amazing collaborators.

On my way #PAG32! Excited to reunite with so many friends and colleagues working on plant and animal genomics, and to be giving a talk at the Wildlife symposium!
