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. 🧵

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!

Congratulations, Carlos! (And to all the awardees. This will be a great symposium.)

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

My first first-author paper is out! It was an amazing collaborative effort with a lot of amazing people including Arvind S Pillai and JoeThornton. Please read if you like things involving evolution and biochemistry. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
