Thrilled that work from collaborative efforts by the @dbensasson.bsky.social & @mcmomany.bsky.social labs has been accepted by G3 and is available to read now! Population geneticists beware - low-level contamination has greater impact on analyses than you might expect. doi.org/10.1093/g3jo...

my new AI powered lamp is trained on millions of lamp interactions so it understands that 50% of chain pulls are to turn it on and the other 50% are to turn it off. and honestly, it's a little spooky how it knows exactly what i want almost half of the time

I've wanted to write this article for years. About my and other's struggles to even survive sometime in #academia. Thank you to the amazing editors at @plosbiology.org that gave me the forum to write this piece. #science

Audrey Ward @audreykward.bsky.social from the Bensasson lab @dbensasson.bsky.social explores the pop genomics of the yeast 🧫🧽 L. thermotolerans 🍷 They find five major divergence groups and intercontinental migration ✈️ #Evol2025 #Evol25

My second dissertation chapter is now published in PLOS Genetics! A really fun study in which we examine hybridization dynamics across space and time between monkeyflowers Mimulus guttatus and Mimulus nasutus in the Columbia River Gorge. @plos.org journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

So excited to have successfully defended my PhD - thank you to @dbensasson.bsky.social for your mentorship and encouragement over the years!!

i wish i could write individual scripts for multiple strains listed in this text file all at once! the humble while loop:

Our accidental finding that "Low level contamination confounds population genomic analysis” is on bioRxiv - a fun collaborative project with the @mcmomany.bsky.social lab www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
