@chicaScientific bc you're THE SHIT. congrats!

Every time I submit a grant, I am always thinking about the people that I have to support, and that I fight to keep employed. I am so excited to say that my R1 was very well scored and I will be able to keep the lab open another five years.

@NkrumahGrant YAAYYYY! When are you cooking for me? ;)

🎉Exciting news!🎉 I’m thrilled to share that I have accepted a faculty position at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Grateful to my supportive friends, family, and mentors who believed in my potential and passion. The Evolution and Functional Genomics Group is here!

Need a postdoc? Illinois has a GREAT gig but these (short) applications are due SOON - talk to me if you wanna know more! igb.illinois.edu/article/apply-…

I'm so excited to let y'all know that soon we'll be inviting applications for a faculty position in the area of Microbiomes here at IUBloomington in the awesome IUMicro group! More details to come soon but for now, keep an eye on this space!

@ColauttiLab @chicaScientific awesome!

anybody have the right paper on the history of eugenics for honors junior undergrads in an evolution course?

Open call for Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Bio independent postdoc fellowships at University of Illinois! igb.illinois.edu/article/apply-… and check out our great symbiosis group! symbiosis.illinois.edu @DiversifyEEB @DiversifyMicro

@FriedmanJannice @ColauttiLab willing to share if given credit?! this is great.

@ColauttiLab I have started doing a full lecture on the eugenic and dark past of evolutionary genetics in my 2nd year course. I weave in both the people, politics and the evolutionary principles they exploit. Heavily crowdsourced from twitter folks

@ColauttiLab perfect timing. samesies. i'm thinking of assigning a Hidden Brain or Radiolab episode on IQ testing, forced sterilization, or something else rotten that stems from eugenics.

going in my will.

Our search is still open for a few more days! If you aren't sure you're "quantitative" enough (you are!) or pondering whether to apply (you should!) - contact me: kheath@illinois.edu @DiversifyEEB @BlackBotanists @DiversifyPlants @BlackInMicro @esa_tek @QueerEcoEvo @evoldir

@diana_yates_ Meeee! I was just admiring the bees all over one in my sister’s garden!

This anise hyssop is an amazing pollinator plant. Visited by bees of all sizes and by goldfinches when the blooms seed. I have some small plants to give away. In Chambana. Interested?

@CoEvoCoParent It’s less fun without the gestures
