Pulled the numbers for the purposes of haranguing the youth during lecture tomorrow. Guess which of these age groups will be living on this planet the longest?
The @evo_lagniappe postbacc crew had a perfectly Louisiana day retreat: zydeco breakfast dancing, hike on a Nature Conservancy trail full of herps and birds, and a swamp boat tour. Laissez les bin temps rouler! #RaMP#NSFfunded
🌿 New Research Flow Episode! 🎙️
We chat with PhD candidate Diego Paredes-Burneo from Dr. Laura Lagomarsino’s lab at LSU! Diego’s research uncovers how the Andean uplift shaped plant diversification in the genus Brachyotum (Melastomataceae). 🏔️ @evoyeyo
Wissam is a fantastic scientist, and has followed his love of natural history and an intuition about behavior to design an experiment showing something important about how climate change will affect predator-prey dynamics in marsh ecosystems.
Keep an eye on this one folks 🐌💜
Congrats to @JanetMansaray, the first #LagoLab@LSU_BioSci grad student to defend her PhD dissertation! She gave an excellent public defense on #Centropogon phylogenomics, macroevolution, and as a system for CURE course inquiry. The finish line is in sight!

Lots of new grad students starting in research labs this month, including many who have been taught (in subtle or overt ways) that they need to fight to prove they belong. It’s an exhausting way to spend your career. So I’m re-upping this for anyone who needs to hear it today:
Two lab manuscripts accepted in 48 hours! Congrats to @Jamie_Phelps123, @saltyecoevo, @vaidya_ruj Heather Rodriguez and Emma Crable.
And stay tuned from some exciting results re. hypoxia tolerance in oysters and pupal color polymorphism in butterflies!
I give my promotion talk next week. Last night I dreamt that as I was being introduced, I realized that my talk was only half done, so that I was frantically adding slides while walking to the podium. Those 'not ready for class' dreams never die!

Huge congratulations to newly minted PhD Dr. Jamie Phelps. Not one to rest on her laurels, Jamie will teach her first class as an Instructional Professor of Biology @pittstate on Monday! #LSUgrad
I also got to hood a bonus PhD student! I had the privilege of standing in for the advisor of Kelly lab friend @pratik_barge from @LSUphysastro, who will start a postdoc @WUSTL on Monday. Congratulations Dr. Pratik! @lsuscience#lsugrad
