New paper just dropped! Read on if you want to read about how traumatic insemination shapes the evolution of the bedbug seminal proteome, where we show rapidly evolving sperm proteins and an expansion of sperm leucylaminopeptidases.

Please share! My lab is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar in evolutionary development. For more details feel free to email me.

Come join the bio dept at Georgia Tech - we are hiring an ecologist!

I think earlier is better- gives an opportunity to potentially write fellowships together etc (also, agreed with Mark, too early is better than too late). Also, if the person is not American and needs a visa, these things can take several months for unis to process.

Interested in joining our lab (dunnlab.org) and YIBS as a postdoc? I'm looking for someone to work on siphonophores, diversity in the open ocean, or natural history. If that's you, please reach out this week to discuss a nomination for the Donnelley Postdoc Fellowship - yibs.yale.edu/donnelley-fe...

So lucky you were part of the team- the project would not have come to fruition without your hard work and genius!

Happy to share this preprint! I learnt so much throughout this project — from getting hands-on with plant physiology and measurements in the greenhouse to data analysis and the many discussions that followed. Grateful to have been part of the team 🌱

Please repost: My department (quantitative and computational biology at the University of Southern California) is hiring a teaching-track faculty member. The new hire will focus on teaching statistics courses to biology students. Apply by Dec 1 usccareers.usc.edu/job/los-ange...

New preprint out from my time as a postdoc in @jenncoughlan.bsky.social lab!

In a range-wide survey of M. guttatus, we found a lack of stomatal regulation in response to drought, which led to our inability to draw predictions from other known trait-associations

@jenncoughlan.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 2:44 PM

lastly- we would love your feedback if anyone has thoughts!
