I am hiring a scientist to work with me at the US Geological Survey in Reston, Virginia.

Interested? Apply at www.usajobs.gov/job/783135100 starting April 1st (note that only 50 applications will be accepted).

Applicants must be U.S. Citizens.

My lab group is interested in understanding the genetic and developmental mechanisms behind the evolution of novel phenotypes (evo-devo). I am seeking a curious and motivated student interested in biomineralization and/or molluscs to join my team. The aim of my research is to understand how the shell of molluscs has evolved into so many different forms by understanding the developmental mechanisms regulating biomineralization via the mantle. We are a new lab helping to develop a slipper snail (Crepidula atrasolea) to test fundamental evolution and development questions. As a member of our lab, you will have the freedom to tailor your project to your interests, ideally relating to the genetics, development, and role of the nervous system in shell formation in gastropods. Depending on your project and research goals, you will have the opportunity to learn microinjection, CRISPR, hybridization chain reaction in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy, animal husb

Come join my lab! #evodevo #gradschool #inverts #molluscmonday

Wonderful BlueSky:

We are looking for graduate students and postdocs who could benefit from intense exposure to all-things-microbial at the 2024 Microbial Diversity Course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA.

Consider applying / reposting.

Want to Go Deep learning about microbes from all 3 domains of life in what will be 6.5 weeks of low-suck factor time? Consider applying to Microbial Diversity at the MBL for summer 2024.

What about soils and wildfires? The fire should turn all plant biomass that burned into mineral ash. N, P, S, Fe, etc…

I hope so!!!

Congrats!!!!

I’m just reading this post! What a feat and shape shifting and all!

Colleagues, my group is new to metagenomics. I’d appreciate expert advice on the best approach(es) for metabolic pathway analyses of environmental metagenomes. Thanks! 🙏

Gorgeous indeed!!!

Absolutely agree. Desperation and computational simplicity is driving people to use predictions based on 16S rRNA genes.

A Dangerous Conflation We are Jewish writers, artists, and activists who wish to disavow the widespread narrative that any criticism of Israel is inherently antisemitic. Israel and its defenders have long used this rhetoric...

Happy to be one of the Jewish writers who's signed this letter.
"We refuse the false choice between Jewish safety and Palestinian freedom; between Jewish identity and ending the oppression of Palestinians. In fact, we believe the rights of Jews and Palestinians go hand-in-hand."

First you got to write it, then edit it, review it, and in the end you might still need to write something for the Intro of the special issue. That’s a lot of work. ;-)

Have I really done nothing else with my life?
