#TweetYourScience How will the birds of NZ respond to climate change? I research how such responses are tied to habitat preference, both in the past (using genomic data) and in the future (using distribution data) 🐦🦜🦆🦅 🏞️#AWIS2021
Keen to learn about bioinformatics, genomics, and evolution? @nic_rawlence_nz , @michel_knapp and I have a great opportunity to do just that in Dunedin!
If you are interested in doing a PhD in bird evolution and wouldn't mind spending three years in New Zealand, we might have a solution for you:

Had a wonderful time at #CAVEPS2023 - many thanks all for making me feel so welcome. Always a delight to meet so many passionate and excellent people! First Nations panel was a highlight, as well as the incredible palaeoart on display + obligatory IMAX Jurassic Park 🦕🦖🦴

Whole-genome sequences of nearly the entire population of the critically endangered kākāpō, flightless parrots native to Aotearoa, are presented in in @NatureEcoEvo. These data are helping inform future management and conservation plans for the species. go.nature.com/45OLHUc

I was watching Lord of the Rings last night and realized there are many parallels with academia!
A thread 🧵👇
I wish I couldve delivered my talk at #ICG2023 #Paleogenomics session in person- absolutely gutted to miss it! I chat about work I have done over the course of my PhD thesis @otago exploring the relationship of New Zealand birds to climate change past and present! @Genetics2023
There's far more to this body of work than I had a chance to talk about, and if you're interested about it feel free to message me on 🐦 or find me here: pascalelubbe.com #ICG2023 @Genetics2023

And an errata: I called PSMC the "partially sequential" but I misspoke; it's the "pairwise sequential". I'm embarrassed to admit how many times I've had to Find+Replace that in everything I've written over the last few years 😂 #ICG2023 @Genetics2023

Going to @Genetics2023 & want to learn about palaeogenomics. Come & see my invited talk in Rm203 at 2.30pm tomorrow, as well as many other fascinating #ancientDNA talks from @mitoPR, @michel_knapp, @Lubbe_P, @cjcollins_nz, & Anna Gosling - with @MatisooSmith @otago @GeneticsOtago
If anyone is on the fence about grad school, know this: 24 hours before my thesis deadline my reference manager has decided to take a long vacation. Goodbye bibliography! :')

Had a wonderful time at #BirdsNZ2023 - thanks @OSNZBirdsNZ for the opportunity to present, the spread of excellent talks, the great company, and the inspiring work being done on our manu 🦅
This morning I got not one, but TWO rejections...for the same job. They really wanted to make sure I knew where I stood 😂

Continuing the #moa theme, #NewZealand's spear or Spaniard grass (Aciphylla spp.) evolved spiky leaves & spines probably as a defense mechanism against herbivory from large birds. Wouldn't want to be a moa trying to eat this speargass 😲.

Kia ora Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿: This @Space_Station pass over the most southerly region of Te Waipounamu / South Island starts a little cloudy in the west but opens to wonderful views over Waihōpai / Invercargill.

In case folks missed it, a new non-stop flight record was set four months ago. The godwit codenamed B6 completed an 8,425 mi (13,559 km) non-stop, flapping flight migration in 11 days. They may look cute and silly, but shorebirds are among the most athletic animals to ever exist.
