Emilie Richards

@jackiergalvez I hope you achieve all your dreams in life too Jackie, especially if they involve more of this🥰

Here are a few thank you notes from the 3rd graders at Griffin. It was so special introducing the students to organismal biology and giving back to the community that laid an important foundation for me. Can’t wait to continue engaging in K-12 outreach for years to come! 🐟

Always such a pleasure presenting at Career Days around the Los Angeles area, especially at my old elementary school, Griffin Ave! Major shoutout to my mom for arranging my presentations at both Griffin and Utah Elementary over the past few weeks ☺️

@SEBASTESinBLUE @fishspeciation Hi Joe! I will send you a copy of the talk soon. Hope everything is going swimmingly this summer for you!

@joelmcglothlin Thanks for watching and advertising Joel!!! I am looking forward to watching your talk tomorrow!

Check out #Evol2021 talk by @emjrichards1 on this excellent work recently published in PNAS twitter.com/emjrichards1/s…

@rcthomson Although I think I spotted a Gila monster there once…

@rcthomson Thanks Bob! No turtles in the lakes on San Salvador Island so fish will have to do!

So thrilled to see that our project exploring several popular hypotheses about how adaptive radiations start and proceed using a perfectly peculiar pupfish radiation is now published! pnas.org/content/118/20…

@HortaQuentin Thanks Quentin! Artic Charr are a really fun fish radiation as well and I always look forward to seeing your work on them pop up!

@emjrichards1 These findings and this pupfish system are just... wow. Congrats Emilie!

@DurkinSylvia Thanks Sylvia! You definitely had a front row seat to the action - of me incrementally fiddling with the aesthetics - like watching paint dry

@DrPintoThe2nd @jamesTstroud Thank you both for reading!

@David_A_Marques Thanks David! I am always thrilled when I see a paper of yours pop up on my newsfeed so I am happy you found this one exciting!

Thanks @fishspeciation @fish_witch @mcgirr_joe @JelmerPoelstra and all the others for helping me appreciate the exciting assortment of pupfish out there and people working on them!

Parallel to our findings that this seemingly small and localized radiation is a product of a complex network of genetic variation spread across many populations in time and space - this project is the result of many people that i am so grateful to have worked with!

@fish_witch you could say that they have a good-ei

@slynnsmiles @fish_witch did it for us so she gets all the cred! She created custom Snapchat lenses I believe

So much fun today running a virtual workshop on pupfish personalities with @fish_witch @jackiergalvez for some very smart & funny girls #womeninstem #expandingyourhorizons @EYHatBerkeley

@frogsicles Oh man that coagulation action was jaw dropping. Half the time I can’t get jello to set nearly well as that. That was an extremely enjoyable 20 minutes, thanks Becca!

Potentially one of my better talks: Nerd Nite youtu.be/McifOBSDsKc

@fz5656 @erin_westeen @ErinPerson2 I apologize for denying your initial request. Would you accept a head of Lawrence, body of squirrel replacement portrait as recompense?

@erin_westeen @ErinPerson2 I asked if I could use a squirrel picture for me and they said no :(

New friends in the MVZ! (also it's not the most important part of the newsletter but i took the squirrel picture)

Our new @molecology paper shows that genes under selection between species are misexpressed in F1 hybrids doi.org/10.1111/mec.15… Regulatory incompatibilities may promote rapid speciation by simultaneously affecting adaptive trait divergence and reducing hybrid fitness

@frogsicles @GrantKinsler @KSamerotte @PetrovADmitri Woah! What a different, cool genotype-phenotype-fitness approach than the bottom-up approaches we discussed and I like the directional selection enhances phenotypic diversity/local modularity but global pleiotropy perspective. Thanks for sharing Becca!

@GrantKinsler @KSamerotte @PetrovADmitri cc @emjrichards1

Very excited to share our work on trying to pin down the genotype-phenotype-fitness map of adaptive mutations! Thanks to @KSamerotte and @PetrovADmitri for their unwavering support on this 4 year journey! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n
