Climate change is happening worldwide, but the Arctic provides an unusually rich and diverse environment to study its effects. Enter: the Evolving Meta-Ecosystems (EvoME) Institute. @MarkCUrban #NSFfunded today.uconn.edu/2024/05/arctic…

Remember the "anthropause" at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, when human activity outdoors seemed to vanish? A new global study ft. @UConnEEB professor Erin Kuprewicz reveals how wildlife behavior changed during this time. today.uconn.edu/2024/03/global…

Big congrats to Javi for being awarded an NSF GRFP @uconneeb 👏👏👏

🌕!OVER THE MOON!🌕 Both incoming grad students in my lab @UConnEEB Sila Inanoglu (right) and Lorraine Pérez (left) received @NSF GRFP awards this year!🏅 I could not be more honored to be part of their journeys😭 🪰+MORE PARASITES!+🪰 @UConnResearch @UConnOUR @UConn @SICB_

A HUGE congrats to the @UConn RaMP Scholars who successfully submitted their first manuscript today describing their newly sequenced and assembled scorpion genome!!! 🥳🎉🦂 #postbac #nsf #Genomics

Reporters: book a 15-min Zoom interview with cicada expert Dr. Chris Simon (@uconneeb) to discuss how the two emerging broods may interact, climate change threats to cicadas, & more. bit.ly/3IfbpYv @CicadaScience

It's the final countdown! Today is the day 🎉 Be sure to get your @UConn RaMP applications in TONIGHT by 11:59pm. Conduct independent research🥼, participate in professional development activities, attend scientific conferences and more! RaMP Website: genome-postbac.biology.clas.uconn.edu

Apply! @UCONNRaMP is the yearlong Research Training Program for recent graduates. Our program offers a unique blend of structured cohort-based learning and individualized research experiences. Submission are due March 1st, 2024. genome-postbac.biology.clas.uconn.edu

Meet our next RaMP mentor,🌟Yaowu Yuan🌟 Yaowu's lab studies flower evolution 🧬, diversification, and its impact on the production of diverse phenotypes using monkeyflowers🌺🌼 as a model system. @uconneeb 🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬 Learn more about the Yuan Lab 👉 monkeyflower.eeb.uconn.edu

🌟Meet Elizabeth Jochusch 🌟 who is a RaMP mentor and plays a major role in the leadership team. Elizabeth's lab studies patterns of phenotypic variation in a diverse array of species including salamanders and treehoppers! 🦎 Jochusch Lab: jockusch.eeb.uconn.edu

@uconn peeps! Want to come talk to a bunch of facility scientist all at once? Plus get lunch? We're having an open house Monday in the student union. core.uconn.edu/2023-open-hous… @UConnCLAS @UConnMCB @uconnhealth @uconneeb @UConnNursing @UCONN_Microbio

Very excited to share our new paper on Pancrustacean Phylogeny with a number of surprising findings! 🧵 academic.oup.com/mbe/article/40…

An awesome talk by @uconneeb grad @AnalisaMilkey on her sequential Monte Carlo approach to sampling from the multispecies coalescent model! #Evol2023

Oaxaca has a huge diversity of one of the most widely known Agavoideae: Agave! Today's featured plenary speaker is Karolina Heyduk (@kheyduk) from @UConnEEB, who will share her results on CAM evolution in the Agavoideae. Come join us next October at #SMBPlant2023 🏜️🧬🍸
