So, so proud of this paper! TEs in cold adapted D. montana flies rdcu.be/dVKkl. Amazing collaboration with ’Masse’ Tahami, @GonzalezLab_BCN @NooraPoikela I have been dreaming about this since 2015… 🧬❄️🧬!

New reprint by @NooraPoikela et al. of D. montana & D. flavomontana inversions and their role in speciation. ❄️🧬Ancestrally polymorphic chromosomal inversions as potential drivers of speciation biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #chromosomes #inversions #dna #longreads #genomes #speciation

Ancestrally polymorphic chromosomal inversions as potential drivers of speciation

Chromosomal inversions may play a central role in speciation through their ability to reduce recombination and therefore genetic exchange at inverted parts of the genome between diverging populatio...

Lot’s of fun & visitors in #reseachersNight yesterday! We showed people how to collect flies from nature and to measure cold tolerance. @NooraPoikela also let them hear fly songs... 🎶 #jyuscience #tutkijoidenYö.

Still collecting autumn flies in Finland. The first frost this early complicated things… but there are some flies. 🪰#DrosEu #drosophila

Yes, I think we definitely should go for hybrid format!! Then one can easily attend more conferences than could otherwise (for whatever reason) even if we will miss networking opportunities...Maybe do those in few in person meetings.

Virtual conferences increase overall attendance, increased gender diversity, increased ECRs, while reducing environmental impact, but difficults networking. Should we go for an hybrid format? Next year the annual @SMBEmeetings in Ferrara will!! nature.com/articles/s41893-0…

Conference demographics and footprint changed by virtual platforms

Nature Sustainability - In-person conferences have typically resulted in a large carbon footprint while limiting inclusivity of those who can attend. This analysis uses the pandemic to gauge...

I really like when people are advertising their talks and posters in #ESEB2022 ! Then also we who are not coming to the meeting can check if there is already a preprint or publication available from interested subjects 👍. Or you know whom you might want to contact for more info.
