#January 26, 1943
#OTD Nikolai Vavilov, Russian #Botanist & #Plant #Geneticist, died of starvation at the Saratov concentration camp.
Meanwhile, Nikolai's team of scientists were held up inside the Russian #SeedBank, saving the precious repository from the 900-day siege of #StPetersburg. Placing the security of the world's seeds (some edible) over their own survival, some valiant #Botanists starved to death.
Today the seed bank honors Niko as the Vavilov Institute of Plant Genetic Resources.

Excavating genomes:
In which (paleo-) #geneticist and Nobel Laureate Svante #Pääbo recounts how with his research he brought future into the past - and why #Neanderthals are not really extinct at all.

Found my current study organisms in the aquarium.
Everyone, say hello to Acropora spp.!
More pictures coming to research slides for the next 3+ years.

Having switched servers, I should give another #intro: I’m a #geneticist with a background in #neuroscience, #evodevo, #HumanGenetics, and #MarineBio. These days I work in #PublicHealth and #epi spaces, doing #DataScience, #sequencing, and #rnd, usually in #R. I used to be a #sysadmin, for my sins.
#PunkMusic, punk ethos, all things #ocean, cranky lefty #politics, #cocktails, #ttrpg, and #baking are all pretty much guaranteed if you stick around.

Figured I’d #introduce myself here. I’m a pome #fruit #geneticist with ARS and lead our #scion #breeding programs. In general, my program is looking at ways to identify and integrate novel genetics into pome fruit to address challenges related to abiotic stress resiliency, production efficiencies, and fruit quality! I’m fascinated with #bioinformatics #genomics and #PlantBreeding! Oh and a #postdoc position is open in my lab! https://www.zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/USDA-ARS-2022-0377
