I'm excited to announce that I will be moving to the Department of Botany at the University of Wisconsin - Madison (@UWMadison) starting in Fall 2023! I will be recruiting graduate students and a postdoc, so please contact me to learn more.

We are hiring! The School of Life Sciences at Univ of Hawaii Manoa is recruiting for an Assist Prof in Plant Genomics and Herbarium Director 🌈🌱🌴🌿🏝️ Application review begins Nov 15 schooljobs.com/careers/hawaii…

@MaribethLatvis We did the same thing after moving to Hawaii. A week at home, ripped the diaper band aid off so he was “potty trained” for preschool

New postdoc position available! Evolution of mutation rates! 🚨🚨🚨 Please apply, but also feel free to get in touch with me--or past and present members of the lab--directly. (RTs appreciated) indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/19856

Please RT -- Do you want to learn about plant ecophysiological methods from world experts at a workshop in Portugal without paying for registration, accommodation or the full cost of travel? You have to act fast... See here for details sebiology.org/events/pepg-fi… @SEBiology

Please RT. My lab at @ucdavis is recruiting a postdoc to investigate how the plant circadian clock influences mRNA processing and vice versa. More info attached. #plantclock #RNA #circadian #RNAsplicing

I am looking for 1-2 PhD students and 1 postdoc to join my lab (dlilab.com). I will be available to chat with potential candidates about these positions during #ESA2023 at Portland, Oregon in 2 weeks. RT and spread the words please, thanks! dlilab.com/pdf/positions_…

We @thecapitulab are all very proud of Bidens!! Be sure to check out @reid_selby and @EvieMoellering posters tonight at #Botany2023

@TomBuckleyLab @martijn_slot @PDA_PhD Are you saying that wasn’t intentional?

So I did that new PI thing where the unit number in the ordering system wasn’t clear… sooo.. my lab is now the proud owner of 100 glass beakers of various sizes (that being 100 of each size).

@MaizeZynskiHI I'm here until the end of the month. Check your inbox

@thegoodphyte You still here?? Digital microscope. It’s in Rock Du’s lab in AgSci. Send me an email. 😁

New microscopy equipment gives me goosebumps.

@evobotanist Simpson's paradox

Statistics question: What’s the name of the effect where a positive (or negative) global correlation is made of several smaller negative correlations where the offset of the group effect is driving the larger correlation? It’s on the tip of my tongue & I can’t remember.

@Apex_Herbivore @WUSTL @WUSTLBio @WUSTLArtSci that is infuriating and unacceptable. sorry to hear this happened.

We're hiring! Please pass this announcement on to people who like thinking about genealogical trees, genomic data, and/or data structures! (And, contact me by email or on 🐘, probably not here.)

@wc_ratcliff This seems like a lot of biologists have a very narrow definition of 'real'. There's no universally accepted definition of a 'tree', but hopefully everyone would agree that trees are real and the term is useful.

I have my own opinions on this but I’m curious about how representative they are. Biological species are:

@vsbuffalo Ha. I might even learn Python then. Do you think RStudio rebranding to @posit_pbc might make this happen?

Can we please get a billionaire to finance making a native tidyverse in Python. I'd wager global productivity in data science would increase 2x and frustration down 30x.

Got my @BadgerMBB season tickets today! woot!📣🍻🏀

@mixotrophe 🙋‍♂️

Anyone else one of those PIs who is constantly downloading updated datasheets and re-making figures? #figaday 2.45 #year2

What the heck, let's start all this again. (I read somewhere that threads > 400 tweets get downgraded in visibility.) It's a revisions day. Help us out by letting me know if you prefer the left or right versions. #figaday 2.1/n #year2
