My first first-author paper is out! It was an amazing collaborative effort with a lot of amazing people including @ArvindSPillai1 and @JoeThorntonLab. Please read if you like things involving evolution and biochemistry. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
I am looking for *two* postdocs to join my lab at @VT_Biology next summer/fall. We work on the molecular basis of coloration and toxicity in poison-dart frogs. Please RT!! Job ad: tinyurl.com/mt28bdky Application link: tinyurl.com/3xs7tp23
Congratulations, Carlos! (And to all the awardees. This will be a great symposium.)
So honored to have been selected! To all attending #smbe2023, I can’t wait to share my work with you.
My lab works on the evolution of the proteins that enable microbial life. We resurrect ancient proteins and study their properties. If that sounds interesting to you, apply here - we are recruiting!

The deaths of 17 medieval Jews: An incredible new genetics paper has just dropped: The earliest Jewish genomes and the story of where they are from and how they died is incredibly important, and central to the origin of contemporary antisemitic conspiracy hatred. 🧵
