Summer highlights vol 2: Teamed up with the @paulrschmidt lab once again, this time to work with @MarkCBitter1 for their paper demonstrating rapid shifts in genetic makeup in populations of fruit flies over VERY short time periods.
Read all about it in @Nature! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Summer highlights vol 1: I had the pleasure of working with @Crossman_C and @tfrasierDNA illustrating this piece for their remarkable work on inbreeding in North Atlantic Right Whales.
Fascinating essay in @CurrentBiology by Mikhail Matz @heatshok which synthesizes the past 30 years of research on coral-algal symbiosis, and provides a novel framework to view this perhaps fraught relationship (think farmers and cows).

Excited to share our new paper on the impacts of inbreeding on North Atlantic right whales doi.org/10.1098/rsos.240490
@RWGenome @GenomeAtlantic @tfrasierDNA and thanks to @rushdhill for the amazing artwork
The International Hibernation Meeting @Hibernation2024 is happening now in beautiful Mont-Temblant, Quebec! Brynne Duffy and Jim Staples conceived the idea for this logo, and I was all too happy to illustrate it, featuring this fascinating mammal - the 13 lined ground squirrel.

Super pleased that my perspectives paper on the Fry Paradigm has now been published in the 50th anniversary edition of the Fish Physiology series! This link should give free access to the paper for the next 50 days

Sometimes you don’t only meet your heroes, but you get to work with them, and they are more awe-inspiring than you imagined. For me one of those people was Trish Schulte @lab_schulte, who I had the honour to be her post doc first, and more recently, lab manager.
I’m thrilled (and scared!) Rush Studio is now full-steam, but I’m grateful to have had a boss who several times in my career picked me up when I fell flat on my face, and carried me until I was able to find my feet.
One month since I decided to invest 100% of my time into Rush Studio! It’s been a learning experience getting the operation running full speed, but it would have been impossible without a lot of support.
From last month! In @RSocPublishing , @colby_slezak et al uncovered a rare breeding strategy in the American woodcock: itinerant breeding combines reproduction and migration periods to decrease overall costs of these events and increase resilience in unpredictable environments.
