BEACON Researchers at Work: Directed and Real Evolution
This week’s BEACON Researchers at Work blog post is by University of Texas at Austin faculty Andy Ellington. Evolution in Action. That’s the BEACON motto. It always struck me as a bit wishful. Because evolution is mostly glacial. Sure, it … Continue reading
BEACON Researchers at Work: The genetic basis of biofilm formation
This week’s BEACON Researchers at Work blog post is by University of Washington graduate student Elyse Hope. “Remember to finish your full course of antibiotics” is a phrase we have probably all heard from a doctor at least once. Intuition … Continue reading
BEACON Researchers at Work: Evolution and the nano-scale
Today’s BEACON Researchers at Work blog post is by NC A&T faculty Dr. Joseph L. Graves Jr. One nanometer is defined as 1 x 10-9 meter. This is about the size of one glucose molecule. The nucleus of a human cell … Continue reading
BEACON Researchers at Work: Climate effects on algae… and undergrads
This week’s BEACON Researchers at Work blog post is by MSU graduate students Jakob Nalley and Danny O’Donnell, with University of Texas undergraduate Farhana Haque. Go ahead, take a deep breath, and let it out. Almost half of the oxygen … Continue reading
BEACON Researchers at Work: Evolving Complex Traits
This week’s BEACON Researchers at Work blog post is by University of Idaho postdoc Matthieu Delcourt. The evolution of complex traits is one of the major enigmas in evolutionary biology. While we know a lot about phenotypic variation within populations, … Continue reading
BEACON Researchers at Work: The Invisible Hand of Evolution
This week’s BEACON Researchers at Work blog post is by MSU postdoc Jeff Morris. As the 18th century dawned over Europe, pretty much everybody believed the world was as it was because of a mysterious divine plan. But during the … Continue reading
BEACON Researchers at Work: Genetic and Environmental Basis of Trait Loss, or, How to Lose a Trait: Organismal Spring Cleaning Edition
This week’s BEACON Researchers at Work blog post is by MSU graduate student Samuel Perez. The study of morphological traits, physical features that are directly observable and measurable, is important for the study of evolution, and play a central role … Continue reading
BEACON Researchers at Work: Discussing evolution is fruitful: Or, Why I don’t shut up about evolution
This week’s BEACON Researchers at Work blog post is by MSU graduate student Emily Weigel. As a woman raised in the South, and now returning to it as I finish my dissertation, I am reminded of a gem I have … Continue reading
BEACON Researchers at Work: Of Moths and Math
This week’s BEACON Researchers at Work blog post is by University of Washington graduate student Octavio Campos. We can all appreciate the beauty and diversity of flowers. After all, they come in so many different shapes and sizes – not … Continue reading
BEACON Researchers at Work: Notes from the field
This week’s BEACON Researchers at Work post is by MSU graduate student Kenna Lehmann. It never ceases to amaze me how returning to place after years away results in this dizzying contradiction: so much has changed, but everything feels the … Continue reading
