Happy to be part of the amazing @GrENE_net research network, which published its first paper in @ScienceMagazine #universityoftheaegean #research science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our new experimental evolution study across 30+ locations using the plant Arabidopsis thaliana —— we direct "see" adaptation and extinction to different climates at the genetic as it happens! Read it in Science dx.doi.org/10.1126/scienc… @UCBerkeley @hhmi_science
