What amazing and well-deserved news!!!!😀 Congratulations!!!! So happy to have you as a colleague and looking forward to working with you for years to come!

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…

It’s so hot in South Pasadena that a can of sparkling water in my car exploded! I was driving when it happened, but didn’t find the can till this morning.

My time in industry convinced me of the importance of basic, government funded science research. It was crazy how much of the stuff we did was based directly on academic research that in-and-of-itself would have been too risky and/or too low-return for the company to do

It's almost incomprehensible to me how much slower progress would be if it all needed to be done by for-profit companies who would seek patents for everything. We need a basis in basic science, which the market really can't support.
