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!
You can follow @RachelPenczy.
