Look at this great postdoc opportunity! 😁 Come work with us on cannabis genetics and flowering time diversity in beautiful Vancouver (and help reduce cannabis' humongous carbon footprint, since you are at it). Also, new website! todescolab.msl.ubc.ca

Article by @natmesanash in @TheScientistLLC, feat. @jmbrkphd and @mhkoski!🌻🌈 Last shameless plug for our @elife paper, I swear! Until the next one, at least

Really nice piece by @riskindan @CTVNews on our sunflower-UV-patterns @elife paper! He is much better than me at expaining this stuff 😅ctvnews.ca/climate-and-en…

We're #hiring a #postdocscientist to join our Cancer Inflammation & Immunity Group led by @SantiagoZelenay! If you have a background in immunology & working knowledge of the essentials of molecular biology, genetics, proteomics or cell biology #applytoday bit.ly/35ui9Sd

Now out in @eLife! UV patterns in wild sunflowers help them attract pollinators AND regulate water loss. And we know what the gene responsible for it all is! elifesciences.org/articles/72072 Below, a slightly updated version of the🧵from the original biorXiv manuscript 1/14

Great to see our 12 cannabis assemblies (and the 500+ re-sequenced lines of the companion GWAS pop) coming together - exciting times for cannabis genomics! Fantastic work @MojtabaJahani6, @Nat_be, @hkchi12 et al. Next, time to get rid of powdery mildew 😁

@ubcrec WHY most and not ALL? I still don't understand why UBC assumes that transmission risk is higher in an indoor fitness facility than in a classroom or even at the swimming pool (surprisingly exempt!)...

Beginning September 13, most UBC sport facilities and UBC Recreation programs will require proof of vaccination against COVID-19 for persons aged 12 and older. For more information please visit recreation.ubc.ca/covid-updates/…

Today @FacultyUbc updated its recommendations re covid-19 mitigation policies at @UBC--we are now recommending full indoor mask and vaccine mandates. facultyassociation.ubc.ca/member_notice/…

New preprint @biorxivpreprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We looked into the genetic and environmental factors underlying the incredible variation for floral colour patterns in wild sunflowers (see below)…ups, wait a second!... 1/12

If you are looking for a Sunday reading, @Nat_be and I wrote a behind-the-paper post for our recent haploblocks paper for the Nature Ecology and Evolution community blog natureecoevocommunity.nature.com/posts/adaptive… #behindthepaper (see also nature.com/articles/s4158…)
