I am still actively looking for postdoc positions — please lmk if you (or your friends and colleagues) need a hardworking postdoc with field, lab, and bioinformatic skills!

I am broadly interested in evolution in the ocean, conservation and population genetics, and rapid evolution.

It's important to write hand-written letters to your friends when you need to send them something. Ideally while doing a bit. Maybe you're a union soldier, separated from your ladylove. Maybe a hot air balloon operator.

We mustn't let the realities of today restrain the nonsense within us.

Leading up to the livestream, make sure to read our article, adapted from the work of @andylee.bsky.social & other researchers about how sea snails that have migrated north are adapting to their new habitat: www.sciencejournalforkids.org/articles/why...
Why are some sea snails moving north? - Science Journal for Kids and Teens
Scientists wanted to find out how sea snails were adapting to new habitats in colder waters. Scientific article for students.

For those of you dismayed by a certain Billionaire making statements that seem to not prioritize a habitable planet,

just want ya’ll to know that there’s a whole lot of us non billionaires that are working really hard on a future that prioritizes people, health, and planetary sustainability. 🌏

lecture today was about genetic drift and small populations, and one of the students said “diversity type shii” so i think they’re understanding the material
