Looking for an amazing #PhD opportunity to study #evolution or #ecology or both at the same time? Follow this thread to choose your own adventure and meet my fantastic colleagues in EEPB at Washington University in St. Louis @WUSTLdbbs

Do you like your evolution to be fast 
? Do you marvel at the colors
of fish
in nature, and wonder why they are so colorful? Want to travel to Trinidad
and/or work in experimental streams @WashUTyson? Reach out to my colleagues @swannegordon and @lopezsepulcre!





Do you like your evolution to be fast 
? Are you interested in
fish love lives
or risk of predation
? Do terms like "nutrient stoichiometry" and "stable isotopes" make *your* heart race
? Then you should also reach out to my colleagues @swannegordon or @lopezsepulcre!






Or are you dazzled by the colors
of animals in nature, but prefer those animals to be flying? And want to study how those animals evolve? Great! If moths
are what you have in mind, contact @swannegordon. But if birds 
are more you type, contact Carlos Botero.




Are you interested in #evolution over longer timescales
? Do you like solving biogeographical 

puzzles by combining different types of data 


? Then contact @landismj!








Perhaps you're only interested in studying #evolution of lizard
superpowers, such as the ability to cling to buildings
, tolerate heat
, or withstand hurricane-force winds
? In that case, you'll want to contact @JLosos!




Come join a great group of people (who happen to be scientists) in unlocking the mysteries
of the natural world

. There are plenty of EEPB grad students here on Twitter who I'm *sure* will be happy to answer your questions, too! Maybe some will even chime in here...




Also, 1st year PhD students in our program do lab rotations before affiliating with a thesis lab. So if you are having a hard time deciding among the above adventures, fear not!
