Overview: Clara's thread ⬇️

Our newest pre-print links small-scale #StructuralVariation to shifts in #CAM / #C3 #metabolism as key innovation traits driving South American #Tillandsia #AdaptiveRadiation . Great work by Clara Groot Crego with Thibault Leroy and Dr. Karolina Heyduk. doi.org/10.1101/2023.0… #Bromeliaceae

By far the most common request I'm emailed is to comment on videos by John Campbell, a popular medical educator on YouTube. I haven't done so thus far mostly due to lack of time, but I wanted to respond to his video on heart inflammation after vaccination. youtu.be/LEBGl8MVE-c

New preprint: an integrated view of metabolism, ecology and transcriptomics in sibling #allopolyploid #Dactylorhiza , indicates that recurrent #polyploidy diversifies eco-physiological traits, in the face of pervasive interspecific gene flow. dlvr.it/S6c6Xq 1/3

Yesterday I had my second vaccine shot AND this paper from back in my master's came out! What a great day :) Thanks to all the co-authors and especially to my supervisors RIEUX Adrien and Nathalie Becker for everything you taught me while working on this!

Hi #Botany2021 ,
Tomorrow, 11am EST/5pm CEST at Phylogenomics III, I'll talk about some of what we found when comparing our cool #bromeliad bait set to the great #Angiosperms353 set for phylogenomics and population genetics. Come discuss, comment and/or watch me giggle nervously!

Missed the OfficialSMBE symposium on intrinsic #genomic drivers of diversity? Link to the video! (S20, pwd: smbe2021) Katie Peichel, Aris Katzourakis Landen Gozashti, Jinfeng Chen, Kevin Wei Clara Groot Crego Huabin Zhao vimeo.com/showcase/smbe2…
