I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

One-week international workshop on evolution June 22-29 in the Swiss Alps for Master's & early PhD students. Application due 28 January 2024.

I've co-taught the course several times (but not this time), and it's a terrific format and beautiful location.
