We are excited to announce that we have a Postdoc position open to join our wild immunology research project working on wild mice - and understanding the interaction between worms, the gut microbiota and immune response. elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Excited to share a new preprint and high-throughput plant screening tool, “Order among chaos: high throughput MYCroplanters can distinguish interacting drivers of host infection in a highly stochastic system” from Melissa Chen and Leah Fulton biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations Naomi Pierce of Museum of Comparative Zoology, newly inducted #NASmember ! #NAS161 #evolutionarybiology #zoology

Jacob Koella, Prof. Kayla King and I just wrote an opinion piece about #parasite #transmission , where we generated a cool new framework that hopefully will allow us to better understand and predict #disease spread and #virulence evolution! Go check it out :)

Expeditions can be hard to maneuver as a mother & scientist.

Intense & exciting to have my essay published in The New York Times exploring how Expeditions can be an Academic Act of Defiance

There is still a week left to apply for this fully funded (for home and international students) PhD with me at University of Oxford on multiple stressors in wetlands. Come join our lab! #ecology #phdlife #biology

Another computational chapter during my PhD is out on bioRxiv! Using a meta-analysis compiling experimental studies from 1996-2021, we found that how warming impacted pathogen virulence depends on pathogen kingdom and host-pathogen evolutionary history more than host traits!

What is cooperation, and how is it studied in bacteria? Super short primer: microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa… Ashleigh Griffin

I am thrilled to announce that on Aug 1 I'll be starting at University of British Columbia #UBC in Vancouver Canada as an #AssistantProfessor #faculty in the Zoology Dept! I'll continue my #evodevo work on arthropod appendages to understand gene network evolution over 500mil yrs

Internationally renowned evolutionary biologist Dr. Dolph Schluter has been elected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) fellows, among the most distinct honours within the scientific community.
