Kathryn (Katie) Everson

Please share: Postdoc position is available in the Everson Lab at @OregonState! In collaboration with @Weisrock and @mariahlemurs. If you are interested in phylogenomics, hybridization, and/or lemurs, check out the ad: eversonlab.org/join-us

@Weisrock and @mariahlemurs and I received our official Notice of Award from NSF yesterday 💪🤩 Get ready for some EXCITING research on the genomic consequences of hybridization in a group of endangered primates! 🐒🧬💩

@BrianSidlauskas @OregonState @OSUIB Thanks Brian! This talk is great. Some advice is echoed in this thread (make time for writing, choose collaborators wisely) but I really like Gilchrist's other advice about finding balance with teaching, mentorship, and personal fulfillment ❤️

@dataworthseeing @OregonState @OSUIB Welcome to @OregonState! I hope we can have many more conversations. In response to your question: check out this talk I gave last year recounting outstanding advice from the late George Gilchrist youtu.be/z6r6YMDzKEA

I'm excited (and still a little shocked) to announce that I got my dream job. I'll be starting as an Asst Professor at @OregonState (@OSUIB) in Spring 2023! Seeking advice: What are some things you wish you had done/started working on before Day 1 as a new faculty member?

@MollyCWomack I'm so flattered!! 😭🥲 Thanks Molly!

@loloyohe @OregonState @OSUIB Bats in Madagascar? Tenrec morphology/genomics? Functional genomics of alpine species in the Pacific Northwest? ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES

@dataworthseeing @OregonState @OSUIB Yes!!!! Let's write a grant!!!

@feministgadfly @OregonState @OSUIB Excellent! I hope to meet you at OSU someday😊 thanks so much for reaching out and for the good advice

@dataworthseeing @OregonState @OSUIB Welcome to OSU. I’m a prof in women, gender, & sexuality studies. My advice—find a good mentor, someone you want to be like, and do what they do. Listen to them. And make connections outside your department. Find your people.

@phylodiversity @OregonState @OSUIB Thank you Sushma! I like this vacation advice 😜 and I needed the reminder about asking questions/asking for help 👍

@dataworthseeing @OregonState @OSUIB Congrats! Such great news and well deserved. 🙌🏾 Advice - take a vacation before starting; ask lots of questions to everyone (navigating big Us can be hard); reach out to others for help with courses, lab setup; schedule time off every week; enjoy your successes

@PozziLab @OregonState @OSUIB Thanks, Luca! And good advice re: monitoring my time. That seems to be a common theme in the responses I’ve gotten so far! 😬

@dataworthseeing @OregonState @OSUIB First of all, congratulations! That's awesome. Second: the lab logo is awesome. I wish I had a V in my name. Finally, be very careful about managing time in your first year. Make sure to allocate time slots to your research (teaching and service can easily take most of your time)

@HalvorHalvorson @OregonState @OSUIB Thanks, Hal! And that's great advice for staying focused 👍 I feel like I need a vision board for my office or something haha

@Alharborne @OregonState @OSUIB Thanks! This is great advice. I'll look for courses like this, and it looks like this free guide from HHMI will be a good start: hhmi.org/science-educat…

@dataworthseeing @OregonState @OSUIB Congratulations! See if you can find short courses in project management/hiring/personnel management/budgeting/teaching etc. You won’t have time when you start, grad school / post docs don’t train you for this, and it will be a big part of what you do…

@AlexisMychajliw @OregonState @OSUIB Thanks! I wouldn't have thought of that! Have you used any specific time tracking apps that you would recommend? I'll give one a try.

@dataworthseeing @OregonState @OSUIB CONGRATS!!!!!! Wish I had started using one of those apps that tracks your time, I always forget how much time I spend on teaching/mentorship, then assume I've gotten nothing done for the day🤷‍♀️

@FishGuyDave @OregonState @OSUIB THANKS! This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. I love the idea of writing these now while I have the time to do it right 👍

MY AMAZING MENTEE!!!!! Isha was awarded a Goldwater fellowship AND a Gaines Fellowship this year! I am so proud of how much Isha has accomplished since her first research experience in my @STEMCats course 😭😭😭😍

Current Weisrock postdoc here! Reach out to me if you want to know about life in the Weisrock Lab! I can confirm it is a fabulous group with lots of exciting research prospects on the horizon 👀😁

Does anyone have a resource for finding graduate student positions in forestry and natural resources? I have an undergrad mentee who is interested in applying to grad school :) They're emailing professors but not having much luck so far.

Interested in social evolution, theoretical biology, or complex systems and want to do a Ph.D.? Apply our @ukybiology grad program and work with me! See below for dept. open house and vancleve.theoretical.bio for more info on my group.
