Alright now that I’m home I guess it’s time to officially announce some really good news: I have received an NIH R35 MIRA!! This award will fund five years of research in my group using Aiptasia to study context dependency and GxGxE interactions in animal-microbe symbioses!

Sheila’s lab is doing amazing symbiosis work, and the EEB department at Stony Brook would be a truly incredible place to do a postdoc. And you’re only a ~1hr train ride away from NYC! #SymbioSky

🧬 New preprint on coral somatic evolution! We compare the robust coral Orbicella faveolata with the complex coral Acropora palmata. 80x whole genome sequencing shows that O. faveolata has high fixation of somatic variants in older interior polyps consistent with a segregated germline.
