A great opportunity to work with a leader in the field of urban evolution, and a thoroughly nice guy.
I am looking to hire a postdoc at Drexel to work on urban evolution and population genomics. The postdoc will be working with me on a multi-city study of urban lichens, but there are opportunities for independent work as well. Please spread the word: careers.drexel.edu/en-us/job…

Always fun attending Evolution, and an honor to be asked to present our work in the Urban evolecol symposium. @Evol_mtg @virginia_tech @VT_Entomology @FralinLifeSci @ISWGvt
@Warren_Booth discusses how socioeconomic variation influences #urbanevolution of bed bugs at #evol2024. Different socioeconomic factors (and not just income) affect population genetic patterns.
This is an excellent paper.

Our urban mutants paper with @evoecolab made the cover of Nature Ecology and Evolution. Very cool. @VT_Entomology @VTCals @FralinLifeSci
Epic new song from my buddy Simon and Deep Purple. Looking forward to seeing everyone when the tour reaches Virginia in September and London in November. m.youtube.com/watch?v=G8w638…

En route to Mobile, Alabama for the National Congress on Urban Entomology. After last week’s disastrous travel, hopefully I’ll make it to this meeting. Wish me luck, lol. #NCUE2024
Super disappointed not to make the Excellence in Insect Science symposium . Sadly, bad weather cancelled flights and we were unable to rescheduled to get me there in time. Hope everyone at it has a blast. #EIS2024
Thrilled to be a co-author on this new paper discussing the effects of urban induced mutations on health, ecology and evolution, out today in @NatureEcoEvo led by @evoecolab. nature.com/articles/s41559-0…
