Annual OBCP Meeting happened outside in the sunshine this past Thursday - wonderful talks by all! Great pleasure in presenting Steve Smith with Service Recognition Award.

New review paper with @phylodrew, Mike Itgen, and @RD_Denton! Reconsidering cytonuclear discordance in the genomic age ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie…

Congratulations to @ScottVEdwards1 on receiving the SSB Presidents' Award for Lifetime Achievement this morning! Scott, thank you for all you have done to make our Society and our field better. #Evol2024

New paper published today in PNAS! We used a telomere-resolution genome for the eastern diamondback rattlesnake to investigate the epigenomic basis for age-related changes in venom composition. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Hiring a postdoc to work on @NSF-funded polyploid salamander genomics/evolution. ~$55k/year, 3 years, teaching opportunities built in. Start as early as May 2024. Great team of students + @Itgenm right now. See the PUI life. Indy is hugely underated. marian.peopleadmin.com/postings/2368

Is neutral genetic variation a good predictor of the variation that matters? pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

How do infected snakes respond to Snake Fungal Disease, an emerging pathogenic disease that infects over 40 snake species? Does temperature play a role in host resistance and recovery? Find out in our new article in @molecology where we explore these Qs 🧵 tinyurl.com/SFD-RNAseq

Thanks to the coauthors and labs who collaborated on this work @GibbsLabOSU @Turtle_Doc @WildlifeEpiLab Ellen Haynes. Funding: @OhioDivWildlife @OhioState and @EEOB_OSU

Looking for a fun, family friendly activity!? Check out the Ohio bat fest on October 29th! 🦇🦇🦇

Last Thursday night, Greg Lipps (OBCP Amphibian & Reptile Conservation Coordinator) was awarded the 2023 Commitment to Conservation Award winner by the Columbus Zoo - congratulations and well-deserved!

Had a great time at MidWest Pop Gen @ UMich over the last couple of days - thanks to Gideon B. et al for their organizational efforts (including t-shirts no less!).

The day has FINALLY come!!! I'm so excited to share this series with everyone tonight! Tune in at 9pm EST for the first episode of #HumanFootprint!

My lab at Ohio State is recruiting graduate students for Fall 2024 and a postdoc for Spring/Summer 2024! I'll be at #ABS2023 - please contact me to meet if you are interested in plasticity, paternal effects, predation, and fish!

Please RT: The Gibbs Lab at Ohio State U. is recruiting a Postdoc to lead a project on the conservation genomics of Massasauga Rattlesnakes, Columbus, Ohio, USA. Start date: 1 Sept 2023. Salary: $60K with benefits for 2 years. More information: u.osu.edu/gibbslab/news/

Thank you HHMI. A completely lab-changing (and life-changing) opportunity to improve the research and mentorship in my lab. I will pay this investment forwards...
