Very important thread about the importance and impact of the Ford Foundation Fellowship Programs program and the devastating impact the end of Ford Fellowships are likely to create 👇👇👇

Young Chilean scientist, Pablo Guzman was killed this weekend. He was in Kansas at the Stowers Institute doing his PhD studies. I had the pleasure of having him as a student during his undergrad, and he was brilliant and a wonderful person. What a tragedy. (1/n)

Please RT to put pressure so further investigations are made to identify the murderer(s), and also to help his family bring him home to Chile. (4/4) #HateCrime #xenophobia Ministerio de Ciencia Universidad Católica

We are extremely saddened to hear that Pablo Guzman-Palma (drosophila gene name (pablo)), a Chilean PhD scientist, and Camila Behrensen (Camila), an Argentinian PhD scientist, both lost their lives last weekend. 1/3 x.com/DasfneLee/stat…

1. Our new #EvoDevo and Wnt gene regulation paper is out in Science Magazine. We used #ATACseq and #CRISPR to study the evolution and role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) of a patterning gene in different species of #butterflies. 🧵🧵🧵Check the cover🔥 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Please RT! My lab is recruiting a PhD student for an NSF funded project to examine the gene network wiring of Antarctic sea urchins. We hope to hear from you by Dec 1st. For more information please reach out via email

Heading to Vancouver tomorrow #EntSoc22 to show off my work (manuscript in prep!) on how butterflies and Leps in general manage such stunning shifts in phenotypes that often have adaptive consequences. Looking forward to seeing some new and familiar faces!

1/3 When it rains, it pours (in a good way!). I'm proud of this paper Nature Communications: great collaboration led by Joachim Surm in my lab and Ed Smith in Adam Reitzel's lab about how venom genes evolve in sea anemones, both between and within species nature.com/articles/s4146… 🧵

Good times at my first plant-herbivore interactions GRC! (Thanks Jared Gregory Ali for the photo 📸)

I love the NSF GRFP!!!

Such a tragic loss of an amazing and inspiring person. Gabe was an undergrad in my lab many years ago and was a graduate student at Berkeley. Please contribute if you can. Fundraiser by Roxy Cruz : Gabriel Trujillo's Funeral & Celebration of Life gofund.me/585b2768

Very delayed, but it is SO fun that Metridium is on the cover of the latest issue of The Biological Bulletin. This accompanies the publication of my final dissertation chapter and I have always loved the lighting in this photo 🥰

Happy #LatinxHeritageMonth. Celebrate with some cuentos from ecoevo scientists from a broad range of latinidad. We got these cuentos to highlight what’s it’s like being latinx in academia and wanted to make people laugh, reflect and feel inspired. …2-493a-b4fd-f6ca68f725a4.filesusr.com/ugd/c576d6_9eb…
