Mike and Chelsey have a paper out in mBio!
Isolation has impacted us all. Hang in there.
Postdoc Mike Hague's work on wMel-like Wolbachia transmission and frequency variation is accepted at GENETICS and posted on biorxiv. Way to go, Mike!
Incoming postdoc Dylan Shropshire defended his dissertation, and in the same week he obtained an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to determine the rules of life governing CI-strength variation. Way to go, Dylan!
Undergraduate researcher Chelsey Caldwell was accepted to the Masters in Public Health Program at UM. Congrats, Chelsey!
Our work on how D. yakuba-clade hosts acquire Wolbachia, and how Wolbachia acquire incompatibility loci, is accepted at GENETICS!
 We have a new paper in Evolution. Congrats to Megan and high school student Sophia Richter on their first paper!
New paper on Wolbachia acquisition and horizontal transfer of CI loci between divergent Wolbachia is up on biorxiv.
Postdoc Mike Hague was awarded the Fleming Prize by the Department of Biology at the University of Virginia for his outstanding dissertation.
Congrats, Mike!
​High school student Sophia Richter will complete her undergraduate studies at Princeton. Congrats, Sophia!
Megan Meany was accepted into the Genetics PhD program at the University of Georgia. Congrats, Megan!​
The lab organized and attended a focused Wolbachia meeting in Big Sur, CA.​ Jon Hamm wasn't there, but the last episode of Mad Men was filmed at this location!
Tim Wheeler's lichen research and artwork was highlighted by Science Friday. Congrats, Tim!
New paper on mechanisms that maintain a divergent Drosophila hybrid zone is out in Current Biology.                        
-F1000 recommended by Norman Johnson
New paper on rapid wRi-Wolbachia spread among divergent hosts is out in Current Biology.
