Last week was a blast! Attending the @evoltree.bsky.social - @forgenius-eu.bsky.social conference hosted by INIA CSIC on "Integrative Diversity of Forest Ecosystems" was unforgettable.

Looking at the genetics 🧬 of trees 🌳 Find me in the forest, lab or analysing atcg data https://lauguillardin.github.io/
Rejection is the norm: During the summer I had two unsuccessful fellowship applications. Writing up another one and looking for postdocs as plan B…. I still put all my hopes and can’t help but imagine myself in the positions I apply to!
Second fellowship application submitted :) we will see! Then we had a little adventure 🌳🌲
How exciting, I just submitted my first application for a research proposal and fellowship @royalsociety.org #NewtonInternationalFellowship Fingers crossed!
Darren Irwin (he / him)@darrenirwin.bsky.social · last yr.OK who's ready for some science? Do you like speciation? Genomics? Hybridization? Bioinformatics? Then this is for you: Published today: "The Distribution & Dispersal of Large Haploblocks in a Superspecies" Bonus interest if you like ring species and cute greenish birds: doi.org/10.1111/mec....
Our SOM-based genotype imputation method wasselected as From the Cover article in the new issue of Molecular Ecology Resorces. So glad!

🧬 How to implement, visualise, and interpret simulations of genetic drift in R. emilmalta.github.io/blog/2025-01... Spent a long time exploring Wright-Fisher model. And made a shinylive app! #rstats #shinylive #genetics #genomics #databs #bioinformatics #biostatistics #populationgenetics #databs
Wright-Fisher simulations in R – Emil Nikki Malta
How do random changes shape the genetic makeup of a population? Explore the Wright-Fisher model to understand genetic drift, visualize its effects, how to implement it in R.

Revealing local adaptation of Quercus suber L. populations under climate change through Genome Scans and Environmental Association Analysis - Tree Genetics & Genomes
Climate change is having an impact on locally adapted species, including the cork oak (Quercus suber L.), a key tree species in the Mediterranean region especially due to its role in carbon…

I am looking for a Postdoc (2 years, start Spring 2025) with strong bioinfo. skills to work on herring adaptation to climate change at @naturhistoriska The project will use modern + aDNA, climate data, SDM and genomic simulations. #aDNA #conservationgenetics #consgen Ad will come soon!
Grinding larch cambium for DNA extraction. How cool but also, 520 more samples to go lol
I am excited to announce that registration and abstract submission is now open for Forest Genetics 2025 – ‘Harnessing Genetic Diversity for Resilient Forests’. Join us in State College, Pennsylvania from June 23-27, 2025 - all are welcome! forestgeneticsconference2025.com #forestgenetics2025
#firstpost I'm a postdoc fellow at Teagasc Forestry Department, Ireland. I hold a PhD in forest genetics at the University of Oxford, UK. BSc in Forestry Engineering and MSc in Agroforestry Biotechnology at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain. #trees #forest #genetics #conservation
