Latest from the lab: @ruolinwu.bsky.social integrates fossil and molecular evidence to estimate the timing of origin of flowering plants. Thanks to @sabifo4.bsky.social @jameswclark.bsky.social Yue Tong, Shan Wan, Davide Pisani, Harald Schneider and Daniele Silvestro for helping to make this happen

The broader implication extends beyond flowering plants. Many famous "rocks vs. clocks" debates may not require choosing sides. The challenge is finding better ways to let fossils and molecules speak to each other. Link to our latest: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Registrations are open to attend the Computational Molecular Evolution course next year (May 9th - 20th) in wonderful Crete! ☀️ Do not miss the deadline, follow the link below for more info and registration details! 🔽 meetings.embo.org/event/27-com...

Tribble Lab & University of Washington Herbarium crew at #Botany2026!

I am recruiting Ph.D. students this cycle. Students interested in deep-sea fishes and phylogenetic comparative methods are an especially good fit.

Hey Bluesky! Emerging from my dissertation-formatting cave to share that I defended my PhD last week! So many incredible people helped me reach this point, especially over the last few months as I scrambled to finish in time. I’m lucky to be surrounded by such good friends.

There’s still time to apply!!

#Evol2026 I’m launching a new research group at UNC Charlotte in January 2027. Prospective students, postdocs, and collaborators are welcome to get in touch: jacob.berv@charlotte.edu More at jakeberv.com, lab website coming soon.

I’m recruiting a PhD student to join our lab in the fall of 2027. If you’re excited about phylogenetics, comp bio, paleobiology, stats theory, macroevolution, etc. please get in touch! Folks at #Evol2026, you can talk to @brpetrucci.bsky.social & @sigournie.bsky.social to learn more about our lab

From lenticular printing to mounted displays, #Evol2026 is pushing the boundaries of what it means to present a poster

The Brock Lab is hiring a postdoc to help us study sensory ecology and sexual selection in urban reptiles! 🐍🦎🌆 Comes with a $5K travel stipend. App closes July 1! careers-sdsurf.icims.com/jobs/20539/p...

Reminder for the #Evol2026 folks. At the Princeton Uni Press booth, if you give them your contact info, you can reserve a book to take home free at the end of the conference. (Limit 1 per person)

Hope to see y'all at #Evol2026! I'll be talking about my simulation tests of cutting-edge fossilized birth-death models, and what we can learn from the Canidae phylogeny using these models. Come through! It'll be on Sunday (June 21st) at 5:15PM, room 22. Last talk first day 🤙

Some angiosperm groups are highly diverse, yet their flowers are surprisingly uniform. Investigating Mimosa flowers, we found that floral morphology is homogeneous and constrained, especially for traits linked with inflorescence, suggesting that development and function canalize floral evolution.
