About the Blog Author: Sheela Turbek is a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Kristen Ruegg’s lab at Colorado State University. Her graduate research at the University of Colorado Boulder focused on how behavioral and phenotypic traits mediate patterns of genetic exchange between closely related taxa. Lately, however, she is interested in using genomic tools to […]
About the Blog Author: Taylor Williams (she/her) is a Masters student in Dr. Heather Spalding’s lab at the College of Charleston. Her undergraduate degree is from the University of Hawai`i, Mānoa where she earned a B.S. in Marine Biology and first became a scientific diver. Since then, she has become an avid scientific diver and […]
About the Blog Author: Alexis Oetterer received her BSc in Biology from Truman State University and is currently a lab tech in Dr. Stacy Krueger-Hadfield’s lab at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She will start grad school in the spring and is interested in studying life cycle and reproductive evolution and ecology. […]
One of the great perks of being President of the American Genetics Association is that you get to organize the President’s Symposium! An opportunity to gather the experts and best scientists that focus on a topic of your choice, and bring them together – I think of it as a two day scientific jam session! […]
About the Blog Author: Nicole Conner is a Researcher III at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Her thesis work at UAB was focused on developing both eDNA and UAV (i.e., drone) methodologies to enhance the detection of diamondback terrapins off the coast of Alabama. Her current research in Dr. Stephen Watts’ lab […]
About the Author: Hayden Waller is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University. He works with Hawaiian crickets to better understand the genetic basis of behavioral variation. You can find him on twitter @tbh_i_dont_know Next time you find yourself at a party, walk […]

About the Author: Marisa Lim is a bioinformatics training postdoctoral scholar at the University of California at Davis. Her past research has covered a range of topics from conservation genetics and high-elevation adaptation to species identification tool optimization. Read more on her website! She currently thinks about how to improve computational biology training for researchers […]
About the Author: Drew Schield (@drschield) is an NSF postdoctoral fellow working in Dr. Rebecca Safran’s lab at University of Colorado Boulder. He is interested in how evolutionary processes shape genomic diversity and identifying genomic regions that underly adaptive traits and promote reproductive isolation. His work also focuses on the evolution of sex chromosomes and […]
About the Author: Katherine Solari is a Postdoctoral researcher and the Associate Director of Genomics for the Program for Conservation Genomics at Stanford University. Her PhD research with Elizabeth Hadly focused on investigating the mechanisms underlying hypoxia tolerance in pikas (genus Ochotona).
