Sampling Saccharomyces yeast on oak trees on Stockholm university campus today. With Ayco Tack and Javier Pinto. This one had an ant colony living inside the trunk! 🌳 🐜 🍄

Reminder: We have a postdoc position (2yrs) available in comparative genomics in the Stelkens Lab! You'll be working with yeast genomes and time series data from experimental evolution in different temperature regimes. Very international team, beautiful city, inclusive work environment. Submit your application here, before 30 April: https://tinyurl.com/2p8fjtkj

We have a 2-year postdoc position available in the Stelkens Lab! Join our yeast evolution and genomics team at Stockholm University, if you like experimental evolution, comparative genomics, and functional validation. A background in Saccharomyces and bioinformatics is a plus but we will provide training if needed. Deadline is 30 April. Full job ad and where to apply here: https://tinyurl.com/2p8fjtkj

#ercCoG proposal submitted. On my way to the #GordonResearchConference on #speciation in Lucca, Italy. See you soon, friends! Now just to finish that talk… 🤪

Hjälp! What's your favourite example for functional validation of putatively adaptive variants detected in evolve-and-resequence experiments? #Yeast, #Drosophila, #worms, anyone?

Thanks @KenThompson for visiting us in Stockholm today! Awesome talk on the ecology of hybrid incompatibilities in #sticklebacks, #sunflowers, #Mimulus, #Penstamon, and hopefully adding #yeast to the collection soon!

Thanks @lmchev for stopping by our department! Was really inspiring to hear about your newest research on experimental evolution with Dunaliella. What a cool system!
