A big thank you to our CPB Postdoc Matt Osmond for putting together a fantastic Intro to Modeling workshop series this quarter for the Population Biology graduate students! 👏

Thank you to all the wonderful speakers and audience members at #ProutFest2020 and a huge shoutout to @GrohJeff for organizing the event this year!

Amazing to see everything that @tracie_hayes did this summer with her carrion beetles and mice🐭 + here’s a photo @bebenson9 took of us collecting data out at Bodega Bay! #proutfest2020

Fellow coug @jon_iguanas killing it at #proutfest2020! We got to not only learn about his work in animal behavior but also see some of his amazing photography!

Another super cool talk about recombination and population genetics of conifers by @lidaanitato which include the oldest organisms! 🌲🌲🌲#Proutfest2020

Accelerators and cruisers and maneuverers, oh my! #ProutFest2020

Awesome talk by @chattymaddie_ looking at urban ecology and effects of urbanization in sea urchins! 🌊🌇#Proutfest2020

Some intense pop-get from Jeff Groh #ProutFest2020 @PopBioUCD

Lots of excitement in the zoom room as the Pop Bio graduate student kick off #ProutFest2020!

@lidaanitato @k_lyberger Our 2020 Population Biology Graduate Student Retreat photo may look a little different this year, but regardless we had a great weekend getting to know the new first years. Welcome to Population Biology!

A special shout out goes to the winners of the scavenger hunt: @lidaanitato Dale Clement, and @k_lyberger

Two weeks ago, the Population Biology graduate students welcomed the new 2020 cohort of first years at our annual (this year virtual) retreat! Included in the festivities were an indoor-outdoor scavenger hunt and mug-painting of (highly abstracted) biological concepts.

So inspired by all of the fabulous research talks today at the student only #proutfest2019 conference. Thrilled to be part of such an exciting community of population biologists. Go platypodes! @PopBioUCD @ucdavisbiology @ucdavis

Great job, platypodes!! Thanks for an awesome #proutfest2019

Jiansi Gao ending our day with another mashed up talk!

J is the keynote speaker @nickwsaleh

For the grand finale, J is giving a freestyle bonus talk. It’s gonna be a banger #proutfest2019

Climate change affects migration timing of geese, which are important grazers of sea grass. How do seagrass genotypic diversity and grazing intensity interact?
