Ioanna's research develops models to study the factors shaping adaptation and the evolutionary history of species, combining multi-species and multi-population data to model the evolution of protein-coding sequences.

Thank you for this opportunity and I'm excited to learn and actively contribute to science communication as a writing fellow at @molbioevol.bsky.social and @genomebiolevol.bsky.social

Congrats to the other fellows @haorancai.bsky.social and Shady Kuster, looking forward to working together!
We are excited to welcome our three new SMBE Fellows!

Ioanna Kotari, Shady Kuster, and Haoran Cai will join @molbioevol.bsky.social and @genomebiolevol.bsky.social as writing fellows.

Keep an eye on our next Highlight articles in MBE and GBE!

@janekay27.bsky.social presenting her work on merging time scales of evolution to infer adaptive evolution. Great talk! #eseb #fwf

Incredible experience to present my work at #eseb2025 on the importance of incorporating population genetics forces in the inference of positive diversifying selection 🦍🐭

It was a really great experience and an amazing hall at the @oeaw.bsky.social, I'm really honoured to receive the DOC fellowship to continue my PhD 🎊
Super proud of @janekay27.bsky.social for receiving an OEAW grant to continue their PhD work on codon evolution for another two years 🥳 It was a pity I couldn't be there in person for the award ceremony, but @bio-diogo.bsky.social did a fantastic job stepping in and capturing some great photos:
