Excited for a master's student in my lab who will give his first ever conference talk this afternoon! He is also looking for a PhD opportunity! #evol2025
Thanks for being so speedy!
We used to be able to also customize online and export a printable custom itinerary. Is that feature still available? I keep logging in online but do not see any options for my itinerary there?

So incredibly proud of @natbio.bsky.social who defended her dissertation research in my lab today! These moments are always bittersweet, but she did a fantastic job today earning the title Doctor!

Leaving lovely Lawrence, KS after an amazing visit to KU! Lovely to see so many familiar faces! Thanks again @meorive.bsky.social and Jenny Gleason for having me! And just in time as they get a major snow storm!
We are deeply sadden by the sudden loss of Scott. He was an astounding mentor and brought so much to the community on top of his excellent science. His legacy will live on
