Sad to leave #SMBE2026 after a wonderful meeting! I particularly enjoyed the exciting, new work on local adaptation, the immune system, and regulatory adaptations!

Probably a bit late, but if anyone in Cleveland for #Evol2026 has some free time, the Cleveland museum of art (open until 9PM tonight; 10am-5PM tomorrow) is FREE and has a ton of exquisite and culturally significant works of art! Here’s just one example. There were 4 Van Goghs on the other wall

Still some time to apply to our postdoc position - deadline 3rd July. I'll be at #SMBE2026 if anyone would like to chat about it 😊

My lab is looking for a lab manager/technician! The successful candidate will help us study host-pathogen evolution using functional genomics and ex vivo infection experiments. Please share broadly and send candidates my way! www.ugajobsearch.com/postings/478... #hiring #genomics #biology

Thrilled that our new review article on animal hybridization is now up on EcoEvoRxiv! 🎉 Working on this review with @mollyschumer.bsky.social was a blast, and it was such a wonderful opportunity to catch up on all the amazing work in animal hybridization over the last few years!
