Pleased & proud that our scientifique collaborator @SchleimerAnna, representing the @naturmusee, presented in St Andrews 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 the study of the landscape genetics on resistance surfaces & crested newts @popgroup 🤩👍💪 #MNHNLresearch 👇

Very pleased PhD supervisor, listening to conference talk by @SarahduPlessi16 at #PopGroup57 on range-wide genomic variation in Eurasian #otters. Strong west to east (low to high) gradient in diversity, punctuated by strong inbreeding in many populations.

It’s easy to forget just how collaborative biology is, a lovely reminder of the amazing resources and opportunities the @darwintreelife holds #PopGroup57

First #PopGroup57 completed at Uni Of St. Andrews. Pleased to have given a talk on one of my postdoc projects. Thanks to the organisers for a fab meeting! 🧬🐟 lots of ideas and tools to work on now 👩‍💻📊

Thanks to the organizers of #popgroup57 for organizing such a great conference! Really good to be at one of these in person again.

Had a great time at my first in-person @popgroup in beautiful St Andrews this week! Thanks to all the organisers for a brilliant meeting and for letting me present some of my work on the conservation genomics of the Black-footed ferret. 🐾

I've had a great few days in St Andrews for @popgroup, catching up and meeting great people, and listening to great science. I also completed my first conference talk and won the third student prize for it 🧬🐸🎉 thanks again popgroup! See you next year

Thanks so much to Mike Ritchie & the organising committee for another great @popgroup meeting and congratulations to all student/postdoc prize winners! Looking forward to more popgroup fun next year in #Sheffield #pgg58 @NicolaNadeau @GenSocUK #pgg57

Fantastic time at @popgroup, watching some great talks and meeting some lovely people! Thanks to everyone who came to watch me talk about convergent evolution in lepidoptera 🦋

We will be closing the prize draw after the @popgroup morning coffee today!! Come and see @evoNicki to get your entries in 🤩
