New bug dropped. We named it after H-town!

@Greeneap22 @Sawyer_Egan @AHS_6aBaseball @coachzwoods @JONeill_4 @t_melv wow, 11 strike outs! Way to go, Sawyer

Dealin…@Sawyer_Egan was in total control tonight, earning the W and striking out 11 in 6 innings of work! #GRIT @AHS_6aBaseball @coachzwoods @JONeill_4 @t_melv

Interested in other approaches to measuring selection on gene expression? The incomparable John Kelly and I have written a perspective piece describing why one might want to measure selection on gene expression, and exploring a few ways one might use to do it.

@scottpegan @MaryamRFaghihi @gallformers @wasp_venom Nice picture!

New paper by former #RiceEEB PhD student, @pedrobrandfp! Great #eDNA colllaboration between @RiceUniversity & @NotreDame! "Comparing the Fate of eDNA by Particle Sizes and Molecule Lengths in Recirculating Streams" - @WileyEcolEvol onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed…

Hey #Science folks! Need a recommendation- A couple years ago, my lab discovered parasitic vines attacking insect galls on their shared host. I am looking for more about the parasitic plant - the love vine, Cassytha filiformis? Do you or anyone you know study this plant?

@vsbuffalo Proposition 65 is the stupidest regulation I've ever seen.

California Proposition 65 warnings are an eternal reminder of how badly written regulations can desensitize the public to real risks by endlessly warning them about negligible risks (known as alert fatigue). Does this book really need a warning?

@scottpegan @RiceUniversity @MaryamRFaghihi Nice! Started my first week of Evolution class as well

Great presentations by Egan lab PhD students Amanda Potts and Maryam Faghihi and all of our #RiceEEB graduate students at our annual Science Day presentations!

😃😃

our new genome paper on the (weird) tuliptree scale is now out in g3! i've never worked on an insect with an alternative sex determ. system before my time in the Mongue lab, but needless 2 say... i will always be impressed and horrified of what bugs can do academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…

The 2025 Speciation Gordon Research Conference (March 2-7 2025) is open for registration! We have a great line up of speakers that should be of interest to many, including people that don't think they work on speciation per se. Please retweet! grc.org/speciation-con…

Thrilled to share my recent perspective piece with @diogro and @Evodaveo on the empirical measurement of developmental bias in a GP map and its conceptual links with other quant gen variational properties.

Here's Kelly's reaction to winning the Royal Society Trivedi #SciBooks Prize 2024:

@FuSchmu Congrats, Kelly!

I still can't wrap my head around this!!! I'm SO excited!!
