Well, darlings…
The curtain falls, the spotlight dims, and the rhinestones are packed.
From the halls of Congress to the chaos of cable news what a ride it’s been! Was it messy? Always. Glamorous? Occasionally. Honest? I tried… most days.
To my supporters: You made this wild political cabaret worth it. To my critics: Thanks for the free press.
I may be leaving the stage (for now), but trust me legends never truly exit. 💋🇺🇸✨
Forever fabulously yours,
George

How can a yeast sugar transporter find a new function?
In our new paper out now in @MolBioEvol we look at a recent evolutionary innovation in an alpha-glucoside transporter in S. eubayanus and find that multiple simultaneous mutations are required for this new function!

It's my honor to announce the official mushroom of the State of Illinois — the Giant Puffball!
Through the hard work and dedication of the young leaders at the Prairie School, our new state symbol is a testament that even the youngest among us can make a difference.

Had an awesome time in Systematics II today at #Evol2024 getting a look under the hood at phylogenetic inference in the face of missing data (@CouchMicroscopy 🦠), discordance (@SimoneGable🦎), and hybridization (@mark_stukel🪲)
not to mention an awesome talk by @snacktavish teasing some exciting features coming to birds in @opentreeoflife, including consensus info across nodes!
