Science funding is not government waste - see my opinion piece in the Lansing State Journal about why cuts to science funding are bad for Michigan. @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/opinio...
Viewpoint: Scientific research is not waste. Funding cuts will harm Michiganders, economy
In 2024, over $1 billion in NIH funding went to Michigan, supporting $2.57 billion in economic activity, according to United for Medical Research.

We have a new paper out today, where, among other things, we find evidence that a locally adaptive chromosomal inversion likely trapped an even older inversion along its path to becoming the supergene it is today. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
The Evolution of Locally Adaptive Chromosome Inversions in Mimulus guttatus
Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms are ubiquitous across the diversity of diploid organisms and play a significant role in the evolution of adaptations in those species. Inversions are thought to op...

I've been searching for the breakpoints of this adaptive chromosomal inversion for 15 years. We have now finally found those breakpoints and have discovered that the inversion contains an even older large inversion. This and more in this new preprint. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
