Haven’t been active on Twitter much lately, so I never got around to making a full post about my first paper and first first author paper! A huge study that couldn’t have been done without the help of so so so many people. See below for more details! 1/8 academic.oup.com/conphys/articl…

Today, the Guardian, alongside @hopenothate , today publish an in depth undercover investigation into the efforts of a network of far right race and IQ obsessives, who have been trying to influence discourse about race science. theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

@matthewcobb @ProfileBooks @BasicBooks Congrats! It was great to hear about it when you came to visit for our Darwin Day talk. I can’t wait to read it when it’s out!

4-year PhD fully funded by @LeverhulmeTrust project (UK students only, sadly) investigating the 3D anatomy and motion of salamander necks. With me in @LivEvoBiomech, @KrisDaout, Daniel Schwarz, and @peterfalkingham. Apply by 28 Oct findaphd.com/phds/project/t… Image by D. Schwarz

RNA IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS DNA!!!

Renowned #Evolutionary biologist and 2014 Darwin-Wallace medal winner @DolphSchluter has written a perspective titled “Variable success in linking micro and macroevolution” as part of our Special Issue on Adaptive Radiation! Follow the 🧵to find out more: academic.oup.com/evolinnean/adv…

Sarkies et al. show that changes in epigenetic modifications that evolve in burying beetles are associated with altered variability in gene expression, potentially influencing adaptation. @PSarkies @BuryingBeetle @r_mashup nature.com/articles/s4146…

We're hiring here @ZoologyUBC in comparative physiology! Come be my colleague in a fantastic department! If you have any questions about the department, UBC, or Vancouver, please don't hesitate to ask. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28155 Please spread widely.

#OnThisDay in 1858, a seminal journal article comprised of papers by Alfred Russel Wallace FRS and Charles Darwin FRS on the theory of evolution by natural selection was published by the @LinneanSociety, the first public announcement of the theory. bit.ly/3k8fq4u

Excited to share our new paper out in @NatureComms! We used experimental evolution to understand how gene body methylation might evolve and participate in adaptive evolution. Great team effort with @PSarkies, @Jenni_Westoby & @BuryingBeetle! a 🧵: rdcu.be/dPY94

@phytools_liam Just in time for a project I’m working on for my PhD!! Awesome, looking forward to checking it out!

Hi people. I have a newly updated pre-print on ancestral state reconstruction that I'd love for you to check out. github.com/liamrevell/Rev… 1/5

@JennaNichols Love to see it!! I recently finished my direct RNA libraries!

I might be in Houston now but the sequencing goes on 🧬

Please RT 😊 We are looking for PhD candidates! @hgdarras @KellerValsecchi, @ketting_rene and I invite applicants for a PhD position to study sex determination in ants @imbmainz @uni_mainz funded through the @genevo_rtg . Deadline 15th July! 👉🏼 genevo-rtg.de/application/pr…

#OTD in 1933, Professor Albert Einstein was in town, to accept an honorary doctorate from Glasgow University.

Sausage, bean & cheese melt, without question.

@LeebanHY Both of these look really good, looking forward to reading them! Congrats!

@KRuthsatz @GlobalChangeBio Oo looking forward to reading this!!

Couldn't be happier to see our meta-analysis on 🐟 and 🐸acclimation capacity and thermal tolerance published in @GlobalChangeBio !

Tell me vipers aren’t the coolest snakes!! You can’t!

🔥I'm thrilled to share🧵(1/7 ) our new paper in @GlobalChangeBio on the drivers and patterns of acclimation capacity in amphibians🐸and freshwater fishes🐟@PeckMyron @KatharinaAlter @PaulaEterovick @sven_gippner @SJC_fishy , ML Lyra, F Dahlke, S Wohlrab doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17…
