Now available in print format! And approved by my mom.

Check out our new preprint from Daniel Shaw! Daniel found regulatory regions on the threespine stickleback Y chromosome are under positive selection! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A short write up about my work on the stickleback sex chromosomes! Thanks American Genetic Association

Lab trip to collect stickleback fish in Washington was a huge success!

Stickleback outreach tonight with the lab. Meeting the scientists of tomorrow at the local middle school STEM fair!

GSPS is back on twitter! We are hoping to have safe in-person or virtual professional development and social programming for all UGA scientists this upcoming school year! Please follow and share if you are a UGA grad student or postdoc.

Talked about this with intro bio lab students this week! Very easy for students to get attached to their hypotheses.

Excited to be a part of this project with my lab mate Shivangi! Also, the new version of the genome assembly is available on the newly created genome browser stickleback.genetics.uga.edu. This will be a valuable resource for stickleback researchers around the world.

A step in the right direction. Hopefully, this decision will be followed by more progress to create a more inclusive campus.

Cuts should be made from the top down, from those who can absorb it safely. redandblack.com/opinion/guest-…

Our lab has an opening for a research technician. Job includes managing our fish facility and assisting with research projects related to genetics and genomics in stickleback fish. Check out the details here. ugajobsearch.com/postings/148509

Last year I participated in the AIBS Congressional Visits Day thanks to SSE. It is a lot of fun and a great opportunity to gain exposure to science policy. I would highly recommend applying.

Please RT: We're looking for a postdoc to do speciation genetics in our lab UGA Genetics. Feel free to DM me with informal inquiries. life.mcmaster.ca/~brian/evoldir…

Please RT: We are accepting applications for our Summer Undergraduate Fellowship in Genetics (SUNFIG) program! App due 3/2. Contact Andrea Sweigart with Qs. genetics.uga.edu/summer-undergr…

Work from our lab was featured on the podcast This Week in Evolution!

'I don’t want to hear Biden say “I still stutter” to prove some grand point; I want to hear him say it because doing so as a presidential candidate would mean that stuttering truly doesn’t matter—for him, for me, or for our 10-year-old selves.' Fantastic article.
