So excited for the latest edition of “Evolution: Making Sense of Life” by @carlzimmer.com & Doug Emlen. Students in my evolution class regularly tell me it’s the best textbook they’ve had in a college course.

New preprint from my postdoc work! Using fluorescent imaging, scRNA-seq, and ATAC-seq of mouse, anole, and chicken embryos, we provide evidence that birds have co-opted vascular smooth muscle to generate the pulmonary smooth muscle in their lungs. More on this later!

friendly reminder that socialist mayors governed Milwaukee for nearly half a century from 1910-1960
during this time Milwaukee achieved milestones such as being the healthiest, safest, and best-governed city in America

A university in Milwaukee is stuck with ICE as its tenant after the agency refused to leave a building the university intended to renovate. Now, the building is being used as an office for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, who lead Trumps deportations.
