We have a new paper out in Molecular Ecology, led by @devinbendixsen.bsky.social ! Reproductive isolation due to divergent ecological selection is accompanied by vast genomic instability in experimentally evolved yeast populations onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Speaker Spotlight! 📣

Today we're highlighting Chloe Haberkorn, a biologist who specialises in evolutionary genomics, currently in yeast! Her PhD focused on resistance mechanisms in bed bugs (scream).

Come see Chloe on Nov 20 🧪🌍👇

Working on #bedbugs? We’ve got you!
Annotated chromosome-scale genome, which also confirms the gene content of a key locus involved in insecticide resistance ⬇️

We’re still beaming from hosting illustrious guest for our workshop on yeast genomics and evolution in Sweden! Thanks to Gilles Fischer, @fcocubillosr.bsky.social @pablo-villa.bsky.social for sciencing, kayaking, walking, talking, beer tasting, and just generally making science as fun as it can be!

Job alert! We have a postdoc position available in the Stelkens Lab at Stockholm University. Join us and apply experimental evolution and comparative genomics in the model system yeast to test for parallel climate adaptation. Apply through this link: su.varbi.com/en/what:job/... Deadline 15 August.

First paper of my postdoc is out:
"Fermentative Yeast Diversity at the Northern Range Limit of their Oak Tree Host" - fun collab to study yeasts in my host country ft. JP, AT, MF and RS!

Special thanks to @stelkens.bsky.social - also for the celebratory chocolate cake!

Very happy to share our latest work: The evolution of thermal performance curves in response to rising temperatures across the model genus yeast | now available in PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Special thanks to my great co-author @stelkens.bsky.social

Registration is open for @official-smbe.bsky.social
satellite meeting in Chile. We have a great lineup of speakers for topics in Microbial ExpEvo and Adaptation 👏👏
Please consider attending. Plenty of scholarships for students and postdocs!

Two manuscripts submitted in the same week! Calls for a celebration! Thank you @chloehbk.bsky.social, Javier Pinto, and @devinbendixsen.bsky.social for leading the work! Now crossing fingers for friendly and constructive reviews. :) 🧪🧬🦠

Mycology Nordics conference so far: awesome speakers (as @loreament.bsky.social & @stelkens.bsky.social 😌), amazing poster sessions, fancy venue and massive kardemummabullar!

Really glad to see that our article 'A duplication driving metabolic insecticide resistance in Aedes aegypti', started during my master 2 with Jean Philippe David and completed during Tiphaine Bacot's PhD has now been recommended by PCI Evol Biol!

Congratulations to postdoc Chloé Haberkorn @chloehbk.bsky.social for winning a research grant from the Royal Physiographic Society of Lund! Chloé will investigate the phenotypic and transcriptomic responses to heat waves in different Saccharomyces species!
