We're hiring a #LabManager for the @sciencemuseummn @scwrs_mn Water and Sediment Chemistry Laboratory (clever acronym still under development). Apply at the link to come join our team (including Carl the Lab Dog)! recruiting.ultipro.com/SCI10…
💯 Correct! Further, you can’t develop a single undergraduate degree that trades off depth & breadth in subjects collectively known as ‘biology’ and effectively prepares students for the modern job market. – at Norman, OK
Officially passed my doctoral defense this morning @OU_Biology! – at Norman, OK
You think this is a joke but it’s reality @UofOklahoma – at Norman, OK
Another new #salinization paper out today in @PNASNews! This paper represents the final portion of my dissertation. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22… – at Norman, OK
We used resurrection ecology, whole-genome sequencing, and phenotypic assays to demonstrate evidence for rapid #evolution to increasing salinity in a #Daphnia population. – at Norman, OK

Unlike other pollutants, chloride doesn’t break down in water over time. In other words, once it’s in, there’s no getting it out. (via Mississippi River Basin Ag & Water Desk)

Very deceiving- many different types of federal public lands are managed by the @US_NPS & provide recreation activities. For instance in NY there is @FireIslandNPS or in OK @ChickasawNPS. If these were included I suspect this map would be very different looking. – at Vails Gate, NY
Now do graduate students! – at Norman, OK

Submitting his final grades, the grad student awaits the inevitable arrival of undergrad emails contesting them.

Interesting #monkeypox vaccine background from @ZariaGorvett: "...the vaccines that were used to eradicate smallpox...are based on an unknown virus that no one has been able to identify – a 'ghost' pathogen that has only ever been found in vaccine form."

My third chapter is now available as a preprint. We use Resurrection Genomics in #Daphnia and show #rapid #adaptation to salinization. – at Norman, OK
Resurrection genomics provides molecular and phenotypic evidence of rapid adaptation to salinization in a keystone aquatic species biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_evobio
If you are attending #Evol2022 check out my talk on #Daphnia resurrection genomics today in the Macroevolution/Adaptation session at 1pm. I will be talking about new results from my ongoing dissertation research.

Me: Better practice my #JASM2022 talk.
Computer: Nope, gotta update…
Me: OK, 5 minutes, right?
Computer: Haha, nah 45 minutes.
Me: 🤦 – at Grand Rapids, MI
