I haven’t watched it bc I don’t have Apple TV, but I’ve been super curious about Pluribus. Not sure if it’s good tho. I heard good things and the ratings on rotten tomato and IMDb are great. If you watch it, let me know what you think!

An overview shot of a portion of the collection: a long window box with wooden frames filled with glass models of plants carefully arranged and labeled on white backgrounds, as though part of a 3D herbarium. From this distance, they are indistinguishable from real plants.

Glass model of maple leaves, featuring blended molten glass that mimics the red hues of autumn foliage

A glass model of a Columbine (Aquilegia) with parsley-like leaves and pendulous, faintly red and yellow flowers that look like swans huddled together, necks touching and wings flared out.

Glass model of a Potentilla with almost ferny foliage and simple, open-faced yellow flowers with fuzzy centers.

Recently visited the Glass Flowers at Harvard, a collection of 4,300 extraordinarily realistic glass models of plants crafted by the Blaschkas, a father and son team of sculptors

That’s right, these are all made primarily of GLASS — a fact difficult to accept given how accurate & lifelike they are

On behalf of the Department of Oceanography at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, we are excited to invite applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in Ocean Biogeochemical Modeling at the rank of assistant professor. www.schooljobs.com/careers/hawa... position number 0082726

It’s the third!! 😆 The first one was with Diana and I in 2022 and the second with Arun and I. 😉 Very happy to be teaching it again!

🚀 Just kicked off the 2nd edition of Population Genomics using ancient DNA data with @arunsethuraman.bsky.social & @cegamorim.bsky.social 🧬💻

Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

Any online, free teaching resources using the UCSC Genome Browser? 🧬

I’m preparing a class for seniors and MSc students from different fields of bio. I’m looking for exercises that students can take on their own to explore the genome browser and learn about genomics.

Excited to share our new preprint🙌
It's the first human WGS study in Sudan. We uncover one of the strongest selection signals to date, pointing to post-admixture adaptation to malaria in Copts. Huge thanks to all co-authors. @aidaandres.bsky.social @jgarcia-cal.bsky.social @ebosch1972.bsky.social

SimHumanity: Using SLiM 5.0 to run whole-genome simulations of human evolution The reconstruction of human evolutionary history has undergone repeated advances, each made possible by methodological innovations. In recent decades, genetic and genomic data played a central role in...

Announcing SimHumanity, a baseline SLiM 5.0 model of the full human genome, replete with demographic history, autosomes, X/Y, and mtDNA. A shared starting point for reproducible evolutionary simulations. We’d love your feedback! #SLiM #evolution #genomics www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Este trabajo sólo fue posible gracias al entusiasmo, dedicación y extraordinario trabajo de estudiantes e investigadores de la UNAM y el INAH, quienes combinamos nuestro conocimiento en paleontología y paleogenómica. @paleogenomics.bsky.social Esta trabajo es importante por muchas razones: 👇 3/N

Congratulations!!!

🩸🧬 Anyone using *dried blood spot* kits for collecting samples?

The kits we are currently using yield low DNA concentrations. I would appreciate recommendations for more reliable kits or suggestions on how to optimize our protocol to improve yield.

Multiple Early Career Faculty Positions in Ecology The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for multiple, tenure-track assistant professor positions that will enhance existing institutional excellence in ecology. We are searching broadly for creative and collaborative individuals (1) working at any spatial scale, from local to global, in any system, (2) studying any level of biological organization, from genes to ecosystems, and (3) using any mode of inference, from empirical to theoretical. Applicants should demonstrate research excellence that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries; ongoing growth in the department will emphasize new hires that use quantitative and/or integrative approaches to study ecological processes. Postdoctoral experience is desirable in applicants. Successful candidates will engage with and benefit from UNDERC, Notre Dame’s 8000-acre environmental field station and home to NEON’s Great Lakes domain, superb on-campus chemical and genomic analytical facilities, an experimental research facility located close to campus, cross-disciplinary interactions through multiple centers and institutes including the Environmental Change Initiative, and a unique Interdisciplinary Graduate Training Program in Environment and Society. New faculty will benefit from Notre Dame’s recent campus-wide Strategic Framework that included the Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative. Modern research facilities exist in a new environmental research building, which opened in 2025.
