We have a new paper out on one of evolution’s “classic” systems: Galápagos Scalesia plants! 🌿
How do you generate huge differences in leaf shape across species in <1 million years?
We combined genomics + morphology + transcriptomics across the full radiation 👇
We are less than a week away from the deadline 🤯
Remember to submit your abstracts to SMBE2026
Amazing news for the end of the week! 🤩
Are you a researcher working in ancient DNA or proteins? 🧬
Are you from Latin America or work with Latin American samples in an ethical way?
Would you like to share your reasearch and expand your network?
We humans have been drinking wine for thousands of years. It's recorded in ancient Egyptian paintings, Roman frescoes and Georgian wine jugs.
But how have wines, and the grapes that make them, changed over time? DNA preserved in ancient grapes holds the clues.

Really excited to share our new paper on the Early Iron Age mass grave at Gomolava (9th c. BCE), a study I had the pleasure to work on during my PhD with an amazing group of co-authors across multiple disciplines. Open access link: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵👇
New paper! From Sam Snodgrass and @genomeofforrest.bsky.social, w/ @druncie.bsky.social, @gcbias.bsky.social, and a collaboration with Andres Moreno and @santiagogmm.bsky.social. Can we quantify the impact of humans on maize dispersal?
Plant yourself in a comfy chair and lend me your ear:
