First preprint and my first postdoc paper with @barrowevobio. We found that range size and elevation predicts genetic variation in Neotropical amphibians using ML and PCMs methods. Very happy and excited with the next stages of the review process and project!

It was an honor to meet with @AAAS Fellow Alex Halvey in the office of Sen. @MartinHeinrich in support of $11.9B of funding for the @NSF. Natl Science Fdn. funding is critical for getting undergraduates into sci careers and fuels interdisciplinary research at @UNM!
