Preparing tenure talk, the one thing that I am the most proud of and will mention first is that the lab has been consistenly 50% first generation college students at all levels. My lab is a vehicle for #firstgen to get into science as succesfully as possible.

@ejustin46 @falsel_net My lab is now working on designing "better lenses" to see a sharper, less blurry image of past epidemics.

RT @AprilWei001: Our work w/ two co-first authors Drew DeHaas and @ZiqingP is now published. GRG allows large amounts of WGS polymorphism d…

@AdamRutherford Hotspots of positive selection in vertebrate genomes. Co-occurrence of selection signals across primates and further is why I never believed in claims that sweeps were rare: they can’t possibly co-occur if they are so rare in the first place.

We found high levels of adaptive evolution in genes expressed in barrier tissue immune cells, and/or expressed early during immune responses --> host adaptation likely works best when it cuts infections short early, before pathogens reach high numbers.

@OdedRechavi We have an expression in France: "la terre ne peut pas le porter" "the earth cannot carry them" which fits this very well.

RT @PetrovADmitri: Very proud to be a part of this massive study. And very happy that our effort to sequence all Drosophila species and gen…

@Adrien88Lambert @Spartaks @GerardAraud C’est incompréhensible de devoir autant le répéter. Que les gens n’utilisent pas une définition exacte ne change pas le fait que l’inflation élevée a duré assez longtemps pour amener les prix a un niveau absolu trop élevé pour beaucoup, ce qui est ce qui compte politiquement.

@vsbuffalo I can almost smell the beautiful forest just looking at the pictures.

@SashaGusevPosts I would validate the presence of selection with a method that is not as good at estimating selection parameters and allele trajectories, but better at testing sweep presence/absence with demonstrated robustness to BGS.

@SashaGusevPosts Many older papers on the topic are also likely obsolete because they relied on datasets with severe ascertainment bias.
