Moved to Bluesky: @joanameier.bsky.social Group leader @SangerToL Royal Society URF & Branco Weiss Fellow speciation, biodiversity genomics, hybridisation
My entire team wrote an opinion paper about Common misconceptions of speciation research. Each section is written by 1-2 team members. The bulk of the writing happened during two writing retreats. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result. academic.oup.com/evolinnean/art…
Thanks, Jack and Sam, for hosting us to talk about speciation. It was fun. Crazy how fast 45 minutes can pass. So much more we would have liked to discuss.
Tune into #GenomicsLite today, live at 3pm 📺 Hear from @Psychegenome 's butterfly genomics expert Dr. @joana_meier - an expert in speciation 🧬 Why do experts study the genomes of #Lepidoptera from the U.K. and all around the world? 🦋 @wellcometrust @sangerinstitute
Passionate about studying the genomics of local adaptation? Join us for a fully funded 4-year PhD at Uppsala University, Sweden. Enjoy competitive salaries, full employment benefits, and a vibrant research community surrounded by nature. Apply here bit.ly/4gAsHyn
Join us on Bluesky! There are lots of interesting science discussions going on there, publications highlighted and beautiful photos shared. Very nice and inspiring atmosphere there. Check out my speciation researchers starter pack & let me know to add you: bsky.app/starter-pack-s…
We are hiring two tenure-track assistant professors at the Institute of #ecology and #evolution at @unibern in conservation biology and mathematical and computational ecology tinyurl.com/IEEjobs l
Starting in 15 minutes :-) Speciation researchers, see you soon online. Link here: speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/seminar-series/

Hi all! Our next seminar titled "Learning and Imprinting in Speciation" will include talks by Dr. Maria Servedio and Dr. Gabriel Jamie. See you on 12 November 5 pm CET. Link on the website. speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/seminar-series/
Very sad to miss the GRC Speciation conference and seminar in Ventura, USA, in March next year. I can highly recommend it (despite the price). The seminar for early career scientists is on 1-2 March, the conference featuring PI talks is on 2-7 March. grc.org/speciation-grs…

DECODING GENOMES - from sequences to phylodynamics: We are proud to present our book on how to analyse genomic sequences with an evolutionary perspective. See decodinggenomes.org for a free pdf, Amazon links for print orders, and further information. Great team effort 1/2
I had an interesting and inspiring time in Naples at SIBE. Thanks, @FraRaff_Delfina for inviting me to give the popgen keynote!
Grateful & amazed by @joana_meier wonderful talk and studies on "lego evolution" facilitating adaptive radiations🐟🦋 and all the speakers that made our #SIBE2024 symposium “The wild side of population genomics” so interesting 🥰 @rsbiello @sibe_iseb
