Check out our newest paper using a large set of white band disease infected Acropora cervicornis collected in the field cross-referenced with a smaller transmission experiment to identify the putative pathogen causing the disease. …icro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

Anyone have resources they can share for establishing mentor-mentee expectations for graduate students that are mentoring undergraduate students? Like expectations to ensure undergrads are having a safe, positive experience with their grad student mentors and vice versa.

Lynette Strickland @lrstric of @BU_Tweets has been named an EEE Scholar!🙌 Her dedication to understanding the ecological & evolutionary drivers of beetle diversity is matched by her commitment to promoting diversity in STEM

strange women lying in ponds distributing swords actually sounds like a pretty decent alternative right now

The Majoris Lab at TAMU-CC is recruiting an MS or PhD student to study the dispersal traits of marine fish larvae. Excited to hear from any and all interested students. Reach out ASAP. Full details at: johnmajoris.com/graduate-stude…… @IslandCampus @AFS_ELHS @SICB_DAB

Our intro bio team @BU_Biology is looking for a Postdoctoral Biology Content Developer! Our goal is a major revision of our two-semester core intro bio courses, rooted in evidence-based pedagogy- we are looking for a postdoc to lead curriculum design & development. Link below!

Folks! Does anyone remember/have that meme of someone trying to make a stick stand in ocean waves and it said how taxonomists feel trying to delineate species lol or something?? I need it to continue my rant about species concepts being only kinda real in my evolution class lol

honestly multilevel models exist in my brain as lmer syntax, not the formal equations

#AcademicTwitter Whoops!😂#phdvoice #phdlife

Take heed, Statistical Rethinkers - there are many code translations of the book examples and the new lecture examples into your favorite dialect of SnakeScript or CleanSpace or whatever hacker nonsense you like. I try to maintain an updated list: xcelab.net/rm/statistical…

I have 4 invite codes! Send me a message if you want one.

Ten genomic regions contribute to resilience against white band disease in the endangered Caribbean staghorn coral, a new Science study finds. The results could be used as a conservation tool. 📄: scim.ag/4jh #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/4ji

Fantastic work from the whole team Steve Vollmer, @BreciaDouglas, and Charles Roesel

Excited to share my first post-doc paper! We found that more disease resistant staghorn corals tend to have mutations in particular genes involved in the immune system! and its in Science!! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
