My first scientific paper has been published! “Allelic recharge in populations recovering from bottleneck events” by Joseph D Busch, Jennifer McCreight, and Peter M Waser. It’s included in the new book developed by the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources at Purdue University, Molecular Approaches in Natural Resource Conservation and Management:
The book was actually released in June, but somehow I missed it. Just found out today because my professor gave me a copy as a going away present.
I guess I’m officially a scientist now. Woohoo!

That sounds fascinating. Do you discuss the cheetah problem? Or the H. Sap bottleneck a few kiloyears ago? Can we hope for a blog summary of the article?

Congrats.I got my name on my first paper at the start of the year. I say “got my name on” because I contributed nothing to the body of the paper, and technically the only reason I was involved was because my boss and his collaborator sto–borrowed a bunch of diagrams and illustrations out of my prospectus.

Something I hope to do myself one day, publish in an academic journal. I hesitate to sound like an echo, so…good for you! Nobody said that one yet, right?

Neat! The last time I thought about bottleneck events was when an instructor taught us about the strange case of Lengkieki pushing out healthy copies of alleles bearing chromatic vision in Micronesia. I’ll have to get my hands on your paper.

So I think I know what the paper might be about, but don’t explain it to me. I feel smarter thinking I am right, rather than knowing I am wrong!
