Carlos Esperanza, one of our PhD students, shared his research on Western Bluebird population structure at the American Ornithological Society (AOS) Annual Meeting in Massachusetts last week! Great job, Carlos!

PhD student Carlos Esperanza's first GVL paper is out! He generated a high quality genome for western bluebird, the first for any bluebird species! He is using it to answer some cool conservation genomics questions, so stay tuned for more WEBL breakthroughs!
