New paper from Sasha Bishop’s PhD in the lab - we combine quan gen with resurrection ecology to examine plant evolution in light of global change.
The take-home is that constraints among floral traits have ⬆️ in strength leading to a decline in the rate of adaptation by 96% over a 9-yr time span.

Really excited to see this work, led by Mike Grundler, published! It's a new method for inferring the geographic locations of shared genetic ancestors. In the paper, we and use it to infer the geographic history of human genetic ancestry

A geographic history of human genetic ancestry
Describing the distribution of genetic variation across individuals is a fundamental goal of population genetics. We present a method that capitalizes on the rich genealogical information encoded in g...

The Gen Y > Gen Z shifts you'd want to capture for the male caricature might include:
- hipster coffee shop dude w/ skinny jeans, beanie —> homebound/phone-bound dude w/ webcam, MAGA hat
- 2010s: "cool" = urbane progressive enlightenment —> mid 2020s: "cool" = crypto + transgressive opinions

Also, we’re due for a caricature of whatever the Gen Z version of a Brooklyn Millennial is — it’s been almost 20 years.

As federal funding to scientists across the country remains in limbo following White House directives, the ripple effects are already being felt in Pittsburgh. One...

Despite the world being on fire, I'm extremely psyched to see this paper with Vero Iriart, Tia-lynn Ashman, @anahvsb.bsky.social and Matthew Armstrong finally out!
