Visa costs for researchers and innovators to move into the UK are up to seventeen times higher than the average, according to new analysis commissioned by the Royal Society and undertaken by Fragomen, undermining our ability to attract global talent to work in academia and

New paper from @mabelsyd , Tracey Chapman & me. First from Mabel's PhD 🎉 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… How does mating affect what animals eat? We know that mating really changes what females eat (in at least some species). After mating, females eat more & prefer more protein. 🧵

New analysis from the The Royal Society shows just how high UK visa costs for researchers are compared to upfront costs for similar visa routes in 13 other countries. Here, we take a look at how the UK compares to countries in the G7 included in the analysis 🔍⤵️ 1/5

The final chapter of my PhD is on bioRxiv: we show evidence of Slower-Z effect in Schistosoma japonicum. Selective constraints for female-biased genes on diploid Z are relaxed due to sheltering by the W gametolog.

New paper! Our stick insects have weird chromosome segregation. The major centromere protein, CenH3, binds to the autosomes in a monocentric pattern, but in a holocentric pattern on the X. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Starting on my journey to Montreal for #Evol2024! I'm not presenting this time, but some members of my research group are. First up is Chedhawat (Tim) Chokechaipaisarn (not on Twitter), who'll be talking about density-dependent dispersal and sex ratios (Sat, 16:30, Room 516C).

If you're at Evolution Meetings #Evol2024 in Montréal, I'm going to talk about modelling spatial networks and host parasite eco-evolutionary dynamics in the Evolutionary Theory II session. Talk starts at 14:45 today (27 July) in room 518B.

Paternal genome elimination creates contrasting evolutionary trajectories in male and female citrus mealybugs biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_evobio

This is an excellent opportunity to exchange information, opinions, and ideas together with female researchers from Japan, England, and France who are active in the fields of science and entomology, and simultaneous Japanese-English interpretation will be provided.

For those going to ICE #International #Congress of #Entomology International Congress of Entomology 2024 Kyoto JP this month - I made a pdf of things to do in Kyoto during the conference, including my recommendation of local foods, best insect stores to visit, etc. Please share! tinyurl.com/ycxs7mpz | #ICE2024

Excited to share our new review on population genetics of dominance now out in GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution). We synthesize historical and modern literature on this important topic. Thanks to Chenlu Di ｜狄晨露 for her hard work on this! Read it here: academic.oup.com/gbe/article/16…

Come work with us!! RIKEN CBS is the academic heaven + Tokyo is such a cool, open, international, and inclusive place to live!!

New paper: "Density-dependent dispersal reduces conflict over the sex ratio" (#OpenAccess), w/ Chedhawat Chokechaipaisarn doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2… Sex-ratio optima for haplodiploid parents converge in viscous populations when dispersal is density-dependent Royal Society Publishing #OA

Kicking off the new year, our paper by Leo Speidel et al. is out describing what to me is a breakthrough in ancient genomics. By using genealogies to study ancestry we can get much more resolution to study finer-scale history. We call this method Twigstats.
