This weekend me and @evolutionvu.bsky.social collaborated with some local girl scouts to run an advanced evolution simulator, saw some cool convergence as well as a plesiomorphy that hung around way longer than I thought it would

So not only are convergent traits mostly the result of the same gene families, some of these families are contributing to multiple traits as well!

How many paths lead to evolutionary innovation? How versatile are genomic toolkits? Excited to announce my new @pnas.org paper addressing these questions in collaboration with @rokaslab.bsky.social, @hittingerlab.bsky.social, and the Pennell lab!
