I'm recruiting PhD students to work on mitochondrial bioenergetics. Check out my talk from #Evol2024 on HGT of an alternative mito pathway youtu.be/mdfk3JxLV4c?t=1569&… We do other cool mito evolution and physiology, plz get in touch!

If you ever wondered how much universities pay assistant professors, and how that compares to the local cost of living, wonder no more..

Note to self as much to anyone else: #SMBE2023 is perhaps not the best place to ask an audience question if you are completely unfamiliar with the subject. I know it can be awkward if there is a lull in the questions but it is not necessary for you to break that lull. 1/ – at Villa Poma, Lombardia

I'm excited to announce our new preprint titled "Mitonuclear sex determination? Empirical evidence from bivalves". Our work uses WGR, RNA-seq, and mitochondrial sncRNA sequencing to investigate the sexual development pathway of Potamilus streckeroni biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Mitonuclear sex determination? Empirical evidence from bivalves

Genetic elements encoded in nuclear DNA determine the sex of an individual in many animals. In bivalves, however, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been hypothesized to contribute to sex determination in...

Check out our new preprint on a near telomere to telomere assembly for the leopard gecko! Shout to our fearless leader @DrPintoThe2nd! After this effort, I began to wonder why I punish myself working on bivalve genomes 😂

Really excited about our new preprint led by Amanda Broz in collab with @mitomaths. We studied the dynamics of how plant mito and plastid heteroplasmies sort out. Punchline: the process occurs remarkably fast! 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Feb 12th is Darwin Day! Where did he find his early inspiration and ideas? This blog on his journey on the HMS Beagle explores some his discoveries and challenges to his thoughts. biodiversity.utexas.edu/news… #DarwinDay #Darwin #evolution

New preprint on mt-tRNA replacement in plants. Species in the genus Silene are rapidly replacing their mitochondrial tRNAs with the import of nuclear-encoded counterparts – but who is charging these newly imported tRNAs? biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A cellular agriculture stealth start up in Huntsville, AL is looking for a chief biologist (title tbd). Ideal candidate would have a PhD and interest / experience with plants. No industry experience necessary. DM me for a few more details.
