Do you study evolution at the molecular or cellular level? Apply to join the faculty at the Center for Mechanisms of Evolution at ASU! We're very interested in scientists from quantitative fields, like pop gen. Applications due 11/9. Please retweet! apply.interfolio.com/114422

Congratulations to the new class of awardees, including my former @ASUBiodesign @MechofEvolution colleague @mcsymbiont!! 🎉

🚨Applications for 2022 summer meetings on Microbial Communities/Microbial Evolution are closing in a month.🚨 We are looking forward to receiving your application! Dear Twitter friends, please RT and spread the word! Apply here - workshops.evolbio.mpg.de/event/43/

Hard to know exactly what to say. Two years of work all wrapped up in a bow. @Varsani_lab my time spent in your lab was amazing! Thank you for everything

Interested in evolution and DNA barcoding? Or in supporting undergraduate research? Check out this poster from @SamApodaca_ He is presenting right now Poster 70 in room 20. #smbe2021

Our very talented #SMBEv2021 Undergraduate Mentor awardees posters are numbers 101; 65; 57; 121; 106; 90 and 70. Congratulations to: Liang Wu, Mehmet Birikmen, Xin Yu Zhu Jiang, Lanhui Peng, Evgenia Belousova, Megha Srigyan and Sam Apodaca and their wonderful mentors.

Got a question for SMBE Lifetime Contribution Award recipient Michael Lynch about his talk, “Forty Years of Effective Neutrality”? Mike will be available for Q&A following his talk in the Asia hub in the post-talk room adjacent to Auditorium 1. @MechofEvolution, #SMBEv2021

It's almost time for #SMBEv2021! Don't miss our amazing faculty award winners. Each talk will be presented at three different times to reach audiences in Asia and the Pacific, the EU and Africa, and the Americas. #SMBE2021, @OfficialSMBE

Stay tuned for the work that I've been doing here on promoter architecture and gene expression. Also, if you're a prospective grad student or postdoc- give the @biodesign @MechofEvolution a close look. It's a terrific place to be, and it will only get better.

Super fun! Huge thanks to @Sergiophyceae for coming to the desert to play! @ASUBiodesign @MechofEvolution

The first of many collaborations coming out of our Center. An exciting exploration of a lessor known and fascinating idea: Constructive Neutral Evolution.

Big congratulations to @ASUBiodesign @MechofEvolution’s own @mcsymbiont on being elected a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology!

It’s an honor to be recognized as a Sloan Research Fellow. Thanks @SloanFoundation for funding my lab’s research towards predicting the impacts of mutation. Thanks @ASU @asuSOLS @ASUBiodesign and @MechofEvolution for supporting this new PI!

Congrats to Professor @KSamerotte @ASU on being named a 2021 #sloanfellow! We are so excited to be able to support you and your work! tinyurl.com/phsojiu9

Congratulations to all the winners, including @ASUBiodesign @MechofEvolution's own @KSamerotte! 🥂

Enjoyed great talk by @KSamerotte at MPI-Ploen! I'm such a fan of Kerry's powerful & thoughtful approaches to answering fundamental questions about geno-pheno-fitness. So much to think about from results! h/t @loukesio for organising & @Emmalisse for sending me seminar info

Our new paper on the evolutionary persistence of useless molecular complexes, out today in @nature. 1/6 nature.com/articles/s4158…
