The Hoekstra Lab

Together as a lab, we spent yesterday morning crafting a Lab Statement of Solidarity. See here: hoekstra.oeb.harvard.edu/lab-culture

The Hoekstra Lab stands w all victims of racism. We are dedicated to fostering diversity, equity & inclusion -- in our lab & university, in science & society. We will educate ourselves, have difficult conversations & work w allies. #BlackInNature #BlackInSTEM #BlackAFinSTEM

Deer mice are a model for studying the evolution of many fascinating traits. See below. #UnscienceAnAnimal #evolution This was a collaborative effort by @HoekstraLab! Thanks @AndiKautt @lassancejm @twooldridge1 @Felix_Baier @nickjourjine @oliviameyerson

Hopi was recently appointed an Associate Member of the Broad Institute. (10/13)

"Field Test Shows Selection Works in Mysterious Ways": Rowan Barrett's work is featured in this week's Science.

Congratulations to Heidi Fisher for getting a Pathway to Independance - K99/R00 Award from the NIH.

Hopi Hoekstra was named an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

New educational videos from our lab on mouse color adaptation & genetics of behavior are available on iBioSeminars: ibioseminars.org/lectures/ecolo…
