New paper alert! ✨

Mothers dictating how to reproduce? How weird! In a hybrid fish, however, that is the reality!

Check how maternal ploidy governs gonadal development into producing either sexual or asexual oocytes, all that in our new paper linked below!

I love squirrels! Always looking like they want to ask you something but too shy to do so!

Hello everyone! I'm Joëlle, a late PhD (UMontreal, CAN) starting her postdoc next January (UBC, CAN). I work on all things touching reproduction 🐣. My PhD was on the reproduction of weird hybrid fish🐟 (clones and stuff) and my postdoc is on the evolution of sexual chromosomes🧬!
Nice to meet you all!
