I’m honored to be selected as one of 28 graduate student awardees of the Korean Honor Scholarship, supported by the Government of the Republic of Korea.

Among a talented community of Korean graduate students in the U.S., this recognition is truly humbling. Proud to represent Purdue abroad!

We've just launched AviList! - the new unified global taxonomic checklist for the world's birds, developed through the Working Group on Avian Classification, including BirdLife, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, IOC and others @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social www.avilist.org

I was awarded Kirkpatrick Memorial Graduate Award at the annual award ceremony of my department! (Well I know there is a typo, but I swear it is me the awardee, haha)

This award-winning study:
📌Proposes a new criterion based on GD
📌Presents GD among 82 mammalian species
📌Outlines an analytical framework for conservationists

Time to harness genomic data for conservation! 🧬🐅

Once again, congratulations, @jy-jeon.bsky.social!

Their study analyzed 82 mammalian datasets & found that GD reflects & predicts IUCN Red List status. The study reveals that key GD metrics, like Watterson’s Theta and autozygosity, are predictive of Red List categories. 🦏🦇

This year winner's research explores how genetic diversity (GD) could help improve IUCN Red List rankings 🧬🌍 This is relevant because conservation assessments often rely on census size & demographic trends, but these are hard to estimate for many species

This prize honors Louis Bernatchez (d. Sept 2023), who profoundly impacted EVA as EIC. He was dedicated to advancing science, fostering community, and mentoring future scientists. We honor his legacy by upholding excellence and supporting young scientists 🔬

One of the greatest honors I have ever had in my life! This is a very timely encouragement for me to further navigate my academic journey. I will always try my best to continue Dr. Bernatchez’s legacy. I hope this serves as a springboard that proples me to greater heights in the future!!!🙌

📣 📣 📣 Still lots of TT jobs being advertised: The 2024-2025 list of faculty and postdoc positions in ecology and evolutionary biology is out! Be sure to check out this active and helpful community run resources! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Hoping to extend it more after the winter holidays, as I'm just finishing up teaching the undergrad version of class.

📊 We're having a fantastic time diving into the Genomic Data Visualization in R course this week! 🎨✨
Our participants are mastering the art of turning complex genomic data into clear, compelling visuals using R. 🚀
