Can’t say I expected to do a foray into linguistics during my PhD - a fun study collaborating with Sam and many passionate undergrads (who have gone on to do incredible things of their own!)
I will have a poster at MGC later this month on this work - stop by and chat about it with me!

New paper! From Sam Snodgrass and @genomeofforrest.bsky.social, w/ @druncie.bsky.social, @gcbias.bsky.social, and a collaboration with Andres Moreno and @santiagogmm.bsky.social. Can we quantify the impact of humans on maize dispersal?
