Congratulations to Raissa Rausch for smashing her master thesis defence last week 💪🏽🙌 she has worked on simulating bottlenecks during biocontrol releases in islands. Super #proudPI @animecol-uu.bsky.social
#blogmncn 🦋Las mariposas Morpho azul exhiben algunos de los colores + brillantes de la naturaleza. Se trata de una coloración azul que llama poderosamente la atención por su iridiscencia. Pero el mayor interés de estos insectos es científico y tecnológico. www.mncn.csic.es/es/comunicac...
Still 10 days left to apply -
Come join us in Uppsala!
Fully funded Phd position in Evolutionary Biology.
Deadline 22nd of May.
Can confirm, we've used this method to preserve and sequence DNA from critters caught in the Costa Rican cloud forest. Chromosome level insect genomes from tissue kept at room temperature for ~5 days before we could get it back to the lab!

SUPER exciting PhD with David Berger (+me as co-supervisor). Incredible datasets ready to crack on
Also: Sweden has some of the best PhD salaries and working conditions in the world. Four years (+up to 20% teaching) fully funded.
Contact us for any questions
But we are thrilled to welcome two postdocs in the coming months (that happen to be of different genders) : @eddvolution.bsky.social and Will Rosenthal 🥂
In the time I have been at Uppsala, ~9 students have contacted me about masters projects. All were women.
