I just got back to Colorado yesterday from a trip to present some of my postdoctoral research at the annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative biology. The other talks I attended were excellent and the diversity of topics on display was delightful!
Just prior to the meeting I put up a preprint on bioRxiv of a new paper with my postdoctoral advisor; “Computational modeling of anthocyanin pathway evolution”. It was awesome to get a chance to talk about this work to the SICB audience and have some good follow-up discussions. Looking forward to attending again!
Of course, I also took the opportunity to check out some interesting Florida wildlife.
