It's not that complicated. We can and should simultaneously celebrate Dr. Kariko for her ideas and persistence in the face of adversity, while acknowledging that she succeeded in spite of us, and realize it is our duty to do whatever we can to never let it happen again.

I want to feature a series of "Molecular Ecologists of the Week" to my students to showcase the diversity of awesome people doing cool work in this field. Who should I present? (self-promotion welcome!) Thanks for the idea @RachaelABay

Implications of Large-Effect Loci for Conservation: A Review and Case Study with Pacific Salmon. Just published in #JHered doi.org/10.1093/jhered/esab0… Freely available! By Robin Waples, @dpscruz @charrgirl @martykardos and a slew of Pacific fish folk.
ALT Adult spring Chinook salmon holding in a deep pool of the Salmon River, California on a hot summer day. Early-migrating salmon and steelhead can access prime spawning and rearing habitat not accessible to adults that migrate later. Waples et al. review new genomics data that document strong associations between adult migration timing and specific alleles at a small region of one chromosome in both Chinook salmon and steelhead.
