Junior faculty job alert in Germany - Marine Evolutionary Genomics @geomarkiel.bsky.social / University of Kiel www.geomar.de/en/karriere/... Marine study system of your choice (no microbes, sorry…), excellent infrastructure and ship access, moderate teaching requirements, closing date 6 June

Quick break from the doom and gloom for science! We're really proud of this one. We found that two major effect loci on duplicated versions of the same ancestral chromosome play a major role in run timing diversity across four species of salmon (pink, chum, sockeye, coho) shorturl.at/GISX2

Dire wolf genomes from Colossal. bsky.app/profile/bior...

Bad media science takes can kill off whole species. Gene edited puppies are NOT actually dire wolves, any more than an especially hair mouse is a mammoth. Endangered Species Act is NOT rendered moot by this publicity stunt www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

🚨 HUGE news from Canada's tricouncils who are harmonizing their scholarship & fellowship programs, upping the total number (huzzah!), and critically, allowing foreigners to apply for doctoral and postdoc fellowships. Want to work with me? Get in touch! 🇨🇦🧪⚒️ www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NewsDetail-D...

WinPCA looks like a very useful tool, with some advantages over Local PCA in that it imputes missing data or accepts genotype likelihoods utilizing PCAngsd arxiv.org/pdf/2501.11982

We have over the past month or so published a nice bouquet of papers about the interaction between the Atlantic salmon, its gut microbiome and the feed it eats. 1/4

If zebrafish early development occurred over months instead of hours/days how might that be useful/interesting to the devo community? (image: not a zebrafish)

Our fish rearing system is now operational. Excited to learn about fish devo and build on our genomics work!

Pinning the EcoEvo job board so I’ll no longer have a reason to revisit the blue bird website. 🚨📌 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

A polypterid scan to jazz up my bluesky page....

How do different types of RNA modifications perturb basecalling signal in the new @nanopore direct RNA chemistry? tRNAs are a great place to look since they're so heavily modified, so I held a tRNA-seq workshop late last year that turned into this paper:

Now that blue sky is more active, I guess it’s time for my annual advertisement: I’m always keen to take on a new graduate student to study the evolution of species interactions, especially parasitism and immunity, maintenance of genetic variation, adaptation, speciation.

I think BlueSky will be significantly better for conferences than any other site. Organisers can create speaker starter packs to allow attendees to auto-follow all speakers. Also a custom feed of all folks skeeting abut a conf would be a big win.
