#TweetYourScience How will the birds of NZ respond to climate change? I research how such responses are tied to habitat preference, both in the past (using genomic data) and in the future (using distribution data) 🐦🦜🦆🦅 🏞️#AWIS2021

Keen to learn about bioinformatics, genomics, and evolution? @nic_rawlence_nz , @michel_knapp and I have a great opportunity to do just that in Dunedin!

If you are interested in doing a PhD in bird evolution and wouldn't mind spending three years in New Zealand, we might have a solution for you: evol.mcmaster.ca/brian/evoldir/…

@lesliehellknope your kind of place

Had a wonderful time at #CAVEPS2023 - many thanks all for making me feel so welcome. Always a delight to meet so many passionate and excellent people! First Nations panel was a highlight, as well as the incredible palaeoart on display + obligatory IMAX Jurassic Park 🦕🦖🦴

Whole-genome sequences of nearly the entire population of the critically endangered kākāpō, flightless parrots native to Aotearoa, are presented in in @NatureEcoEvo. These data are helping inform future management and conservation plans for the species. go.nature.com/45OLHUc

@Skentelbery The podcast Nothing Much Happens has a 100% success rate for me on difficult nights

Every day I’m waking up knackered cos I can’t get to sleep at night. Any suggestions of sounds I can play to make me nod off? Tried falling rain but it just made me want to get up for a pee.

I was watching Lord of the Rings last night and realized there are many parallels with academia! A thread 🧵👇

@Genetics2023 And an errata: I called PSMC the "partially sequential" but I misspoke; it's the "pairwise sequential". I'm embarrassed to admit how many times I've had to Find+Replace that in everything I've written over the last few years 😂 #ICG2023 @Genetics2023

@Genetics2023 There's far more to this body of work than I had a chance to talk about, and if you're interested about it feel free to message me on 🐦 or find me here: pascalelubbe.com #ICG2023 @Genetics2023

I wish I couldve delivered my talk at #ICG2023 #Paleogenomics session in person- absolutely gutted to miss it! I chat about work I have done over the course of my PhD thesis @otago exploring the relationship of New Zealand birds to climate change past and present! @Genetics2023

Going to @Genetics2023 & want to learn about palaeogenomics. Come & see my invited talk in Rm203 at 2.30pm tomorrow, as well as many other fascinating #ancientDNA talks from @mitoPR, @michel_knapp, @Lubbe_P, @cjcollins_nz, & Anna Gosling - with @MatisooSmith @otago @GeneticsOtago

If anyone is on the fence about grad school, know this: 24 hours before my thesis deadline my reference manager has decided to take a long vacation. Goodbye bibliography! :')

@RoyAlbatrossCam Manaaki perfectly illustrating why they call them gullwing doors

6/19 Happy World Albatross Day 2023 & a perfect day to announce SP chick's name. Introducing Manaaki the 8th #RoyalCam chick. doc.govt.nz/nature/native-… Don't forget to continue on with your awesome plastic reducing actions. Chick was fed twice today Dad 10:44 & a parent at 16:26

Had a wonderful time at #BirdsNZ2023 - thanks @OSNZBirdsNZ for the opportunity to present, the spread of excellent talks, the great company, and the inspiring work being done on our manu 🦅

@Ologies @JacquelynGill @alieward @bryandavidk @ebsessa @PittermannLab Let me know if you want wanna also pivot into what ancient DNA can tell us about paleoecology! 🦴🪶

@JacquelynGill @alieward @bryandavidk @ebsessa @PittermannLab Yes but Dr. @JacquelynGill we are so overdue to cover #Paleoecology, too!

@OSNZBirdsNZ @otago Well, let's say there are species that are *less* vulnerable ;)
