A statement from our Chief Science Officer, Dr. Beth Shapiro, on the dire wolf project
Scientists just brought back the dire wolf... We’re officially one step closer to this becoming a reality 👀 🐺
Yesterday, @TIME broke news of a landmark advance in gene editing and de-extinction. This piece has proven divisive, and many criticisms I have seen are misplaced or incorrect. This 🧵 is intended to provide my take, based on my own expertise, and set the record straight.
Lifestyle is a stronger predictor of aging and mortality than genetics. A new Nature study of ~500,000 people found: 🎯 17% of mortality variation was linked to lifestyle (exposome). 🧬 <2% of was explained by genetics. Here’s what you need to know 👇🧵 1/10
My entire team wrote an opinion paper about Common misconceptions of speciation research. Each section is written by 1-2 team members. The bulk of the writing happened during two writing retreats. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result. academic.oup.com/evolinnean/art…
Musk predicts a massive victory for Kamala Harris while calling half of Trump supporters idiots.
So excited to have our paper “Spread of yellow-bill-color alleles favored by selection in the long-tailed finch hybrid system” out now in @CurrentBiology ! Check it out: tinyurl.com/billcolor
I will die on this one: pay is the single largest gatekeeper we have in academia. This crap isn’t viable. It’s hurting people, and limiting the pool of talented folks that think it’s a good idea to do science or have the resources to do so.

🦜Very excited to share a study on the molecular mechanism for the vivid #parrot #plumage #color! We have discovered that a single enzyme is responsible for controlling the red and yellow 🪶#feather color in parrots. Now published in @ScienceMagazine (1/7) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
A new article I co-authored is out! Along with Marcel van Tuinen and @fieldpalaeo, we succinctly summarize current knowledge on the origins and diversification of birds. This will be an entry in the 2nd ed. of Encyclopedia of Evolutionary Biology (2025). sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
A small step outside my usual field of study on bird migration during my postdoc at @GGBC_GU. In this paper @FunEcology, we explored the evolutionary trajectories of >350 endemic (extant&extinct) species from diverse island bird communities. doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…
I'm thrilled to share that I’ve joined @colossal on the wild mission to bring the dodo bird back! 🦤 #DeExtinction #ComputationalBiology #Science
