Following our Science Magazine paper, we put out a @EcoEvoRxiv discussion of the potential and limitations of applying the mutations-area relationship to define genetic diversity protection targets #COP15 CBD COP15 UN Biodiversity read it 👇 doi.org/10.32942/X2F30P

I am still very sad but I will always be grateful having Bob as my mentor. He welcomed me into the world of conservation genomics and would always encourage you to ask the bigger and more exciting questions. He will be missed.

Super excited to present my newly-minted Lab logo and website! zhanglabpopgen.org Can't wait to start my new journey at Michigan Genetics in just a month. I'm also recruiting postdocs and students interested in popgen and ML/AI methods development, please help spread the word!

Very excited and honored to share that I am now a Fellow Smith. I will be working with a dream team of mentors Moi Expósito-Alonso (#MOILAB) and field mentors at Revive & Restore and #UNBiodiversityLab to develop macro-ecological models of global genetic diversity!

Join me and Lauren Gillespie at #ESA2023 this summer! Contributed abstracts will be due Feb 23rd ~ Stop by our sessions on cool conservation technologies and combining evolution and ecology!

Our lab is recruiting ~4 scientists! moilab.science/team @CarnegieScience Stanford University HHMI Postdoc | evoeco popgen shorturl.at/brY25 Postdoc | dehydration shorturl.at/tuCGW Tech | NGS/CRISPR shorturl.at/bmwOQ Lab manager shorturl.at/afTZ1

Woohoo!! 🎉 Congratulations!!

Another episode of "have you ever fought with software X?" Current tools for pool-seq in Evolve+Reseq data are too slow or have other problems (🧵) Lucas Czech wrote from scratch an easy to use C++ tool for pool-seq + comp popgen stats w @Spence_Jeffrey_ arxiv.org/abs/2306.11622

I’m excited to announce that I’ve been awarded a Fulbright Grant to travel to Brazil and develop machine learning methods to map the distributions of Cerrado plant species using remote data in collaboration with the amazing Danilo Neves at UFMG!

Our study on the genomic impact of whaling and isolation is out today! Thanks a lot to Sergio Nigenda for welcoming me into the world of whales 🐳 It's been a fun journey of discoveries. Check out the 🧵below for more details 🎉🎉

Nigenda-Morales et al. examine the genomic history of fin whales in the Eastern North Pacific and the Gulf of California, through human induced and natural bottlenecks.
