[New Paper] is on the COVER of @ScienceMagazine !!
The FIRST genome-phylogeny of MOLLUSCS complete with ALL classes —including the mythical "living fossil" Monoplacophora— reveals how they evolved the most diverse body forms of all animals!

Hey fellow botanists! Interested in hearing about some of the research I've been doing for my PhD? Check out my talk for the @AmSocPlantTaxon webinar series THIS FRIDAY at 12pm CDT 🌱🌻🏜️ Register here: tinyurl.com/BullockASPT
The ROOT & SHOOT Travel Award program provides funds to attend a plant science conference. These awards support student/mentor pairs, at least one of which must be a member of SACNAS, MANRRS, or AISES. Applications due by December 2, 2024.

New paper out today in @AnimalEcology 😍
Can internal range structure predict range shifts?
we find limited support with a bird dataset from Minnesota (where many species are at range limits), but I'm keen to dig in more!

Anonymize a GitHub repository for double-blind peer review. I just learned about this - a great solution to the clumsy situation of providing data/code but also (trying) to remain anonymous! 😎

#Evolution2024 is kicking off!
So excited to meet colleagues, while drinking high amounts of coffee.
If you’re an @systbiol student member, please come say hi!
Friday at #IBC2024 begins with a wonderful keynote lecture by Mike Barker @BarkerLab about my favorite topic, polyploidy and genome evolution. 13% of flowering plant lineages have WGD. Most flowering plants have 3-4 rounds of ancestral polyploidy, but why? (1/4)
"...it is critical to help guide our students and instil an appreciation for #plants in our daily lives."

Not only is @L_DBall doing a great job moderating the Phylogenomics section (Gallery Overlook D) at #Botany24 but she gave an EXCELLENT talk about her dissertation work linking pollination syndromes to biogeographic patterns in Hillieae (Rubiaceae) #LagoLab#proudlabmate
If you are at #Botany2024, check out two @soltislab posters by awesome undergraduates on crop wild relatives and niche modeling! Both Tyler and Sebastian are also interested in learning more about grad school opportunities!
Happy Father's Day to the fathers and father figures who spent time with us in nature and carried us through new adventures!
