Paper alert: Experimental life history evolution results in sex-specific evolution of gene Expression in seed beetles academic.oup.com/gbe/article… Big thanks to all who contributed to this work!

Experimental Life History Evolution Results in Sex-specific Evolution of Gene Expression in Seed...

Abstract. The patterns of reproductive timing and senescence vary within and across species owing to differences in reproductive strategies, but our unders

Congratulations Dr @Phi_Kaufmann!!! Philipp did a wonderful job defending his thesis yesterday on the evolution of sexual dimorphism, with Tim Connallon as the opponent.

Filip Ruzicka, @LukeHolman_Evo & Tim Connallon use data from @uk_biobank to show that #HumanGenomes carry signatures of sex-differential & #SexuallyAntagonistic selection; these signatures affect mortality, reproduction & overall fitness #PLOSBiology plos.io/3evNJmL

Live-Seq is the new frontier in single-cell transcriptome profiling. Elegantly sucking some RNA out of a live cell without killing it... and sequiantially doing it again.!. Mind-blowing tool 🤯 by @BartDeplancke in @Nature! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Hot out of the press! Years of work to show how concerted evolution of metabolic rate, economics of mating, ecology, and pace of life plays out across 12 seed beetle species | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…

Male–female coevolution has taken different paths among closely related species, but our understanding of the factors that govern its direction is ...

Ohikiitävä ilo taivaalla on loputon suru meressä. Aallot tuovat ympäri vuoden ilotulitemuoviroskaa Hankoniemelle. Kerään näitä loputtomasti rannoiltamme. Huudan Itämeren puolesta, jotta saisimme tämän älyttömyyden loppumaan! #meriroska #Hanko #Itämeri

Power of positive outreach!How Finnish researchers beat the Twitter trolls to defend science funding, by simply telling what they work on nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

When Finnish researchers took on the Twitter trolls

Nature - A nation’s scientists took to social media in response to criticism of their research, with surprising results. Sami Syrjämäki describes what happened.

Still time to apply to do a 1-year post-doc with us! Deadline 15th Nov. Send me an email if you are interested and I'll tell you more about the project.
Elina Immonen@e_immonen20 Oct 2021
Available postdoc! Are you interested in gene expression evolution? How about sexual conflict and sex chromosomes? Ever wondered how evolution of polygenic traits happens under sexually antagonistic selection? Love beetles, or bioinformatics? Then join us! immonenelina.wordpress.com/n…
