Years ago, I attempted a self-assessment of my potential gender biases in an academic research setting:

Today, I happened on a very nice summary of how to avoid such biases in letters of recommendation, which provides an comprehensive outline. Check it out

Mom is having mussels for dinner, but youngster is going for a plastic bag instead. These sea otters in Monterey (California) make me simultaneously wonder and worry.

The Holy Grail of Evolutionary Biology?

We are ramping up to start a new series of posts on @ecoevoevoeco - so I want to share again one of my favorite posts - which was also the last post.

It is hard work to organize a meeting (with Stephen Proulx) - but so worth it.

When your hobbies turn into research projects.

Our paper describing the genetic basis of this ball python colour morph, called "clown" - was just accepted.

Led by Garcia-Elfring; with Roffey, Abergas, Wuyts, Hendry, Tzika & Barrett - soon out in Pigment Cell and Melanoma Research.
