Brief 🧵

First official day UVa Biology 🥳
So excited to get the lab up and running!

Congratulations Zach Stevenson now Dr. Stevenson!! Incredibly impressive science 🥳

We are hiring multiple #Microbiology and/or #Infectiousdisease tenure-track Assistant Professors! Come join us in the interdisciplinary Department of Biology at University of Virginia! Questions to search chair at [email protected] or apply at apply.interfolio.com/130419

Post-insemination sexual selection in males indirectly masculinizes the female transcriptome dlvr.it/Sv65v5

🎉Yay!🎉Check out our paper on popgen in C. elegans and C. remanei. It's the first comparison of genomic patterns of diversity in phylogenetically close metazoans with different reproduction modes! We explored how various factors can affect diversity & did a bunch of SLiMulations

Our latest preprint, from Katja Kasimatis' terrific experimental evolution work: Post-insemination sexual selection in males indirectly masculinizes the female transcriptome biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm excited to announce that my lab is moving to Johns Hopkins University in Johns Hopkins Bio and Cell, Molecular, Developmental Biology, Biophysics grad program this fall! We are hiring at all levels, including grad students, technicians, postdocs, programmers, and staff scientists. Please DM me if you are interested!

Applications are now open for the GREG Rosemary Grant Advanced Awards! These grants provide up to $3500 US for students in the later stages of their PhD who are conducting evolutionary biology research.

Apply by October 2!

The tenth 'Evolution of Caenorhabditis and Other Nematodes' meeting will be held on June 17-20, 2024 at the Vienna BioCenter! #evoworm2024

Hello #JMIH23 ! I am recruiting PhD students to my new lab UVa Biology starting Fall '24. I won't be at JMIH to meet in person, but I look forward to chatting with interested students about opportunities in the lab - thanks for spreading the word!

We finally have TARDIS out in eLife - the journal! This was a great project, and I was super excited to hear everyone’s thoughts and interest at #worm23 I can’t wait to see what the community does next and show show everyone what else were working on with TARDIS!

Sorry to miss #Worm23 but we’ve made our own worm meeting at #Evol23
Worms 🤝 Evolution
Better together

Hi #Evol2023 ! The Kasimatis lab will be joining UVa Biology in January 2024. I’m recruiting grad students, a postdoc, and a lab tech. If you’re interested in the evolutionary genomics of sexual conflict, please come chat with me!

Come see my #Evol2023 talk on Saturday on Rumex phylogenomics!

Super excited to present my work in #Evol2023 on the role of #generegulation in #nematode #speciation .

Come see me talk on Thursday at 10 30 am (Speciation I)!

Can't wait for my first in person conference!

Looking forward to #Evol2023 ! If you want to learn about a cool seminal fluid protein come check out my talk!
