Mammals & genomics. Diane Genereux and I distill it to (comparative) essentials in @broadinstitute public lecture “Clarity from comparison: How other animals' genomes illuminate our own.” Sadly, few @ZoonomiaProject species survived the #2021MMM #carnage piped.video/YKjYFydrje0

Find out about our science today! Public lecture @broadinstitute on how we’re using mammalIan diversity to understand how genomes work.
TOMORROW! Join us for a virtual Science for All Seasons talk from 5 - 6 pm EST. @eenork and Diane Genereux will present “Clarity from comparison: How other animals' genomes illuminate our own.” Learn more and register at: broadinstitute.org/sfas. #BroadSFAS

Diane Genereux and I are talking #mammal #genomics (@ZoonomiaProject) @broadinstitute next week! Public lecture, open to all. @scribbler_tom now has me pondering what cool mammal trait I’d want to have. Echolocation? Hibernation? Ability to survive deep ocean dives?
What do other species' feats of physiology (think squirrels' ability to hibernate for MONTHS) have to do with human biology? Find out when I host @zoonomia scientists @eenork & Diane Genereux for our next #ScienceForAllSeasons.

Unfortunately, and despite CDC precautions, the western lowland gorilla troup at the @sdzsafaripark has tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. sdzsafaripark.org/update

First up, the western spotted skunk. Spilogale gracilis isn't a true hibernator (sorry @faunabio), but it's got a great strategy for avoiding the winter blues: snoozing for several weeks! We just may try that when the weather gets unbearable this year... doi.org/10.2307/1380869

Gambian pouched #rats have a keen sense of #smell. One, named Magawa, won the @PDSA_HQ Gold Medal 2020 for detecting landmines in Cambodia. This @HeroRATs has found 39 landmines and 28 unexploded munitions so far! bbc.com/news/world-54284952
