Comment period ends on Monday for a proposed rule change that would terminate student visas after 4 years. It also puts limits on exchange visitors and reps of foreign media, and shortens the length of time at the end of the visa from 60 days to 30 days. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

George Washington University is recruiting a computational biologist at assistant or associate level! www.gwu.jobs/postings/117.... Join us!

Our work (by Drew DeHaas) on an extremely simple yet efficient binary genotype format - designed to facilitate scalable bioinformatics tool development. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is undoubtedly bad for American universities. But i do have a question about how university finance works. College tuitions keep increasing, overhead rates keep increasing, both faculty number and faculty salaries stagnated, where did the money go? !

A long read from 2017 but well worth the time for any scientist who both loves their job and and often finds themselves questioning their life decisions. www.danielnettle.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Such a great experience working with you on this Carla!!! Beautiful results, all thanks to your hard work!

New edited book on Speciation is now out. m.cshperspectives.cshlp.org/cgi/collecti... Thanks to Katie Peichel who led the team of Editors, and the folks at Cold Spring Harbor Press

Speciation peeps: What is your favourite example of long-term monitoring of natural populations documenting associations between ecological traits and the emergence of reproductive barriers? Birds, insects, fishes, more?

Just one month until we begin reviewing applications. Please apply, &/or share widely! Feel free to ask questions of me or any other potential collaborators among the Princeton EEB faculty. Looking forward to learning about your research ideas, people! 🤩

New edited volume on Speciation, organized by Katie Peichel and colleagues, coming soon from Cold Springs Harbor Press

#PostDoc opportunity with @waspvenom.bsky.social (& me) on the mystery of #gall formation! Funded by #NSF & #USDA. See details below and please RT!

Divergent selection due to different host use interacts with geography in the evolution of habitat isolation and sexual isolation during the later stages of speciation of Belonocnema wasps @linyizhang.bsky.social @scottpegan.bsky.social academic.oup.com/jeb/article/...

New paper led by #RiceUniversity undergrad Amy Roush & former PhD student Linyi Zhang: “A test of trade-offs in dispersal and reproduction within and between a sister species pair of specialist insect herbivores” published in #Oecologia link.springer.com/article/10.1...

So does GWU. I am wondering whether this budget cuts is a widespread phenomenon among American University due to pandemic income loss

New #Speciation paper led by @linyizhang.bsky.social in #JEB! We find elevated habitat & sexual isolation between sympatric sister species of Belonocnema gall wasps. #Reinforcement?

Excited to share the first paper from my postdoc, using phylogenomics to uncover dynamic genome evolution in Rumex! Featuring @joannarifkin.bsky.social, @bmsacchi.bsky.social, @stepheniwright.bsky.social, and others not on the app! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is very sad.

Hello everyone! I'm Ellen Martinson! I'm an assist prof at University of New Mexico. I study parasitoid wasp venom and galling insects trying to unravel the molecular mechanisms behind species interactions. I'm looking for grad students and a postdoc, so please RT (or whatever the phrase is here)

Born in a butcher’s family, being a “postdoc” for 20 years, yet still keeps trying. Dr. Kariko’s story tears me up.
