What does it mean to be an evolutionary biologist? We tackle this topic in a short film that is part of the broader impacts work we are doing for K-12 science classrooms for our @NSF_Bio grant. Film by @Marita_Davison, Jen Moslemi, @CaravanLab. vimeo.com/283777468

Hello friends! It's been a while, but we're back.
We are sure you all have many questions for us, and we hope to answer them in the coming weeks. In the mean time, for more information, visit our website: 500womenscientists.org/

Excited to share the published version (out now in @PLOSGenetics) of the introductory review that I wrote with Mike Grundler and @gbradburd about ancestral recombination graphs! doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen…

Genomic data filtering consequences can be truly scary 👻👿🎃 (just in time for Halloween) 👇🏻
26 Oct 2023
One of the biggest (scary) eye-openers to me from this project was seeing just how much our trees differed with relatively small changes in filtering parameters, like in the comparison shown here between two trees inferred from datasets that only differed in minor allele filters

Hi All, I'm recruiting a new grad student to join my lab at UWyoming in Fall 2024. Broadly speaking, we work on speciation and adaptation in birds. More info about the opportunity is here: carlinglab.com/people/
Thanks for spreading the word.

In this new paper we show how cycles of speciation and hybridization have facilitated exceptionally fast adaptive radiations of cichlid fish into hundreds of species across four trophic kevels in just 16“000 years. @joana_meier science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

This was such a fun working group to be part of! 🙏 Great to have this out.

Conceptual and empirical bridges between micro- and macroevolution. Jonathan Rolland convened a working group in the before-times, when it was normal to sit in a room full of people w/o masks or rapid-tests and talk about things. Now out at @natureecoevo nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

Congrats to fellow @cewagnerlab alum, @LuciaCombrink, on her really cool eco-evolutionary feedback study in trout in the Wind River Range that just came out in @journal_evo! doi.org/10.1093/evolut/qpad0…

"...we need to think about how we can provide faculty members with the support they need... Are we providing access to caregiving? Are we providing funding to hire another graduate student? Are we providing more time by granting sabbaticals or [teaching] releases?"

With some outside-the-box thinking, funding agencies could be doing so much more to support gender equity in science:

A step forward in outlining concrete recommendations for gender equity in research funding. We can do so much better.

Our action plan is featured in this @Nature article by @Scatter_Cushion ! "What we want now is for [funding agencies] to acknowledge the data and take accountability", says our founder @prettysmartsci
