This is your friendly reminder to register for the third Joint Congress on Evolutionary Biology! Both the virtual and in-person parts of the meeting will include workshops, invited speakers, special events, and submitted talks. We hope to see you online or in person in Montréal!

Please join us on the 30th of April at 5 pm CET for the next IOS seminar. Gideon Bradburd and L. Lacey Knowles will gives us their thoughts on spatial pattern of speciation. Zoom link on website soon: speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/seminar-series/

Early registration and talk submission deadlines have been extended, but only by a smidge, to this Friday, May 3rd. We are close to talk capacity, so get your talk titles (+ abstracts if you want to be considered for symposia) in ASAP! evolutionmeetings.org/registration.h… #evol2024

Our Mentorship Program is back for another year! Each cohort consists of 20 mentoring pairs, and matches between mentees and mentors will be created based on shared interests. The expected duration is one year. Learn more here: systbio.org/mentorship-pro… Apply by July 5th!

Congrats to Alonso Delgado (@Anemone_Padawan), one of our 2024 Rising Graduate Scholars from Ohio State! Learn about his journey from Portland State University and his drive to create a community for research scientists of color, particularly Latinx researchers. bit.ly/3RHrCL4

Hi all! If anyone is interested in preliminary data from my first chapter on iridescence in Sturnidae, come check out my poster at tonight's session #Evol2024 !

Many folks know this already but wanted to make an official announcement: I am super pleased to share that I will be starting my lab at Mississippi State University Mississippi State in Fall 2025! We will be recruiting grad students and a lab tech to start as soon as August ‘25

Hello graduate students! Volunteer travel award applications are due March 21, 2025. In return for working two ~4h shifts, graduate student members of one or more of our societies can receive a rebate equal to 100% of the regular early student member registration fee.

Very proud of @daly66, Professor, EEOB & Assoc Dean of Undergraduate Education Ohio State, on election to President of Society of Systematic Biologists! SSB leads #biologicaldiversity research; two #scientificjournals, provides #research awards; Daly’s term as President-Elect will begin in Jan 2026.

Check out our paper PNASNews Special Feature that published today: bit.ly/SGFlow. We show how translocating Texas pumas into Florida’s inbred panther population reduced inbreeding and increased genetic diversity, shedding light on the challenges of genetic rescue.
