Quantifying Growth and Lodging in Tef (Eragrostis tef) With Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS)
Lodging is a major contributor to decreased yield in tef, a staple cereal crop in Ethiopia. Semidwarf varieties have been developed with a goal to increase yield through reduced lodging, but studying....

Please share widely! We will imminently be posting a technician position in our lab group since @rheasood.bsky.social is off to grad school 🙌! If you know of anyone excited about molecular biology, evolution, and functional genomics please have them reach out (schumer at stanford). Start date ~June
📣 EvolDir is now managed by @eseb.bsky.social! We are delighted to be taking the reins and express our gratitude to both Brian Golding who began this service to the community in the mid-1980s and to @rdmpage.bsky.social who ran this account until now 👏 You can now find evoldir here: evoldir.net
Things are apocalyptic for science in the US. It might not seem that way to everyone because many academic scientists have tenure and get to keep their jobs (for now), and most grants last three years, so many scientists still have funding. But it's going to get way worse.

🌿Behold the chameleon vine, Boquila trifoliata, so called because of reports that it can change it's leaf shape to mimic plants it climbs on. Why, how, and to what extent is largely unknown and hopefully we can start to answer those questions. Gotta keep it alive first! 🌿

Excited to share our new preprint! 🍇🧬 We analyzed 639 genomes across 48 grape species to understand how hybridization drives adaptation. • ~14% of average Vitis genome is introgressed • Most parallel adaptations are shared via gene flow • Two "hybrid species" are actually hybrid swarms

I don't know how the US will recover from the effect this will have on an entire generation of early career researchers. Devastating.
