Crazy storm in St. Louis today near Forest Park! It knocked over two trees and took out our power but fortunately didn’t cause more damage. Lots of others not so lucky!

Very excited about the first grad student authored paper from my lab! We examined 435 Hymenoptera genomes in a phylogenetically controlled framework to test if genome architecture differs for social vs solitary species.

Short answer: No difference in size, GC% or CpG distribution

I saw this male northern paper wasp looking a little rough, but still hanging in there in late November. Me too little wasp.
