Assistant Professor in @uga_genetics. Evolutionary functional genomics, focusing on how humans and other primates respond to infectious disease. Opinions are my own and do not reflect the university. Former UChicago postdoc and grad student @EvAnthDuke. 🧪

Hey team - it’s looking very likely that I’ll be hiring not one but two four year postdocs! We’re a fun lab with tons of theoretical and applied pop gen projects - broadly in polyploid, conservation, and human evo. Competitive salary, sunny San Diego! Do share with your about to defend grads!

UC Davis Ecology & Evolution Grad Preview Program is accepting applications until July 20th! It's a fully virtual program where you are paired with a grad student mentor and learn about what grad school entails, how to apply, and what student life is like! Please share widely!

Probably a bit late, but if anyone in Cleveland for #Evol2026 has some free time, the Cleveland museum of art (open until 9PM tonight; 10am-5PM tomorrow) is FREE and has a ton of exquisite and culturally significant works of art! Here’s just one example. There were 4 Van Goghs on the other wall

Thrilled that our new review article on animal hybridization is now up on EcoEvoRxiv! 🎉 Working on this review with @mollyschumer.bsky.social was a blast, and it was such a wonderful opportunity to catch up on all the amazing work in animal hybridization over the last few years!

Excited to share this new pre-print from the fantastic @kelsiehunnicutt.bsky.social! Kelsie put together a thoughtful and thorough review on hybridization in animal evolution: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v.... She tracks notable shifts in perspectives on the study of hybridization through time.
