We want to congratulate Matt Wersebe on the successful defense of his Ph.D. dissertation entitled AN INTEGRATIVE ECOLOGICAL AND EVOLUTIONARY GENOMIC STUDY OF LAKE DAPHNIA ACROSS TIME”. This was a great deal of hard work, but you have produced an excellent body of work. You will be sorely missed in the lab, but we look forward to future collaborations, as you venture out to pursue future professional opportunities. Posted on December 31, 2022 Congratulations to Alisha Hemani! We are happy to announce that Alisha Hemani has successfully defended her Honors Thesis entitled Salinity Tolerance and the Combined Effects of Salinity and Food Quantity on Daphnia Life Histories”. We will miss Alisha in the lab, but look forward to keeping in touch with her, as she starts her medical school career in summer 2023. All the best, Alisha! Posted on December 31, 2022 February 2, 2023 Congratulations to Matt Wersebe! We are excited to announce that Matt’s third chapter of his doctoral dissertation has been accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) . Wersebe, M.J. and L.J. Weider . 2023. Resurrection genomics provides molecular and phenotypic evidence of rapid adaptation to salinization in a keystone aquatic species.
