Seminar at Penn State University
Today I had the opportunity to present my work at a special seminar at Penn State University’s department of biology, hosted by Professor Steven Schaeffer.
Paper accepted! Genomic inference accurately predicts the timing and severity of a recent bottleneck in a non-model insect population
This week, a paper I co-authored on the demographic history of the butterfly, E. gillettii, was accepted to Molecular Ecology and Evolution. In this paper, we recover the demographic history […]
Splash! November 2013
I taught a Splash! class at Stanford this weekend with my colleagues Shaila Musharoff and Sandeep Venkataram on “A Brief Introduction on Population Genetics“, geared at students in grades 9-12. […]
Stanford BioCore Explorations Class on Rapid Adaptation
This week, as part of the Stanford Biocore curriculum for undergraduates, I taught a mini course with my lab-mate, Ben Wilson, on rapid adaptation. This course was geared toward first […]
