Thank you!

There's some nice work on how the power of selection scans differs based on the time of selection. I can't remember where that figure was published though

Wahoo!!

Repost w/ correct link!
The Dept of Human Genetics at the Univeristy of Utah is hosting a Rising Stars in Genetics & Genomics postdoc symposium. We are looking to feature postdocs doing cool science! Please self nominate or nominate an excellent postdoc! #ASHGtrainees docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Thanks Jun, I couldn't agree more!

Thank you!

To understand gene regulation across diverse environmental conditions and cellular contexts, we treated a broad array of human cell types with three environmental exposures in vitro.

Finally, I am immensely grateful to my mentors over the years (particularly @jennytung.bsky.social and Luis Barreiro), as well as all of the collaborators, lab members, and friends who have helped along this journey!

I will be recruiting students, postdocs, and technicians -- if you're interested in this work, please reach out to me!

Research diagram outlining Tauras' research plan. The research combines integrating primate genetic variation and pathogens in in vitro infection experiments. It then investigates the genome biology and evolutionary mechanisms driving variation in the response, to yield conservation and health impacts.

My lab will study how genetic varation among primates shapes the response to environmental stimuli, focusing on the immune system. Ultimately, I hope to connect genetic variation to immune phenotypes and identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers of immune variation.

I'm thrilled to share that I'll be joining the Department of Genetics at UGA as an Assistant Professor in January! @universityofga.bsky.social Genetics@UGA #newPI

UCL – University College London UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

Interested in a starting PI position at University College London to work on Genetics, Evolution or the Environment? My department has opened the call for expressions of interest for sponsorship of independent fellowship applications.

Final week to apply for this year’s round of the Princeton EEB Fellowship Program, folks! Please repost and help spread the word! We’re going tweetless and need the biggest bluest skies you folks can muster, please!!! ☀️ @eseb.bsky.social
@asn-amnat.bsky.social
@sse-evolution.bsky.social
Thanks!

Exciting! Glad to see it got funded!

Awesome tool! Is there a way to remove duplicate entries? I tried it on mobile (android, chrome) and saw a lot of people listed multiple times with whom I've published repeatedly

This echoes my experience. I felt like the T algorithm didn't reflect any of the people I actually followed
