Congratulations to Joe Felsenstein on being awarded the 2026 Mendel Medal!
...and grants from the City of Boulder Open Space & Mnt Parks (Elena) and Jefferson County Parks & Open Space (Elena)! These funds will support their research on the conservation and invasion genomics of amphibians in the US and Ecuador. @csu-ecology.bsky.social @amphibiagen.bsky.social
A big congratulations to Funk Lab PhD students Elena Newmark, Kat Stroh, and Scott Monahan on winning multiple awards and grants this spring, including a Rupel Family Scholarship (Scott and Kat), a GDPE Research Grant (Kat), a Grad School Council Travel Grant (Elena), a Reed Fellowship (Elena)...
This would be a dream team to work with!
Hey folks going to #evol2025 in Athens. The SSE #DEI committee is sponsoring a workshop on how to avoid bias in writing T&P letters. Registration is required and the workshop is open to all career stages! Please share and help spread the word @sse-evolution.bsky.social @evolmtg.bsky.social
Very cool work based on an amazing long term study of bighorn sheep: No Pedigree, No Problem: Genomic Inbreeding Tracks Genetic Rescue With High Resolution - Mitchell et al: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Congratulations to lab member Gabi Alves Ferreira who lead us in this fun project! She modeled how range shifts of neotropical frogs with climate change will change phylogenetic diversity and endemism in the new communities. So great to see this published #ProudPI 💪🐸 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
These NIH applications have the same materials and the same scoring criteria. Panels were postponed more than a month. Hopefully enough time to make the common-sense decision to reclassify these as standard applications and give full consideration this cycle!
