Another great evolution meeting will be held this week @SMBE2013Chicago. Wish I wasn't too busy moving for my postdoc @KusumiLab #smbe13
Team Tortoise has reached 25% of our goal! Please help support genetics research at asu.useed.net/projects/72/ho…. #science #herpetology #genomics
Why do some snakes and lizards give birth to live young just like mammals do? ow.ly/mmTA3

@GoUSEED @TooKulik @KusumiLab Thanks! Desert tortoises are amazing animals.
We're at 4% of our genome fundraiser. If we make 30%, its likely we'll make 90%! Help us get there. Go Team Tortoise! asu.useed.net
