Will Booker
I used to study frog genetics, now I work on other genetics to help make gooder plants. Got a soft spot for things with doubled genomes, mutts, and fish eating dry flies.

- Yeah man when our town was flooded & elderly or disabled people were stuck in their home an instantantly activated mutual aid group getting them out into hotels and shelters so they didn't get sick from mold and their lifelong belongings into storage was definitely not effective. Shut the fuck up.

Please pass along to any students interested in the quantitative study of speciation, secondary contact, and the build-up of biodiversity!

- My company is hiring a computational biologist! This role is the same position as mine, and will involve building genomic prediction models, some bioinformatics, and a lot of independent research on developing new methods to improve our crop development initiatives. www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...

- Also if you're ever in the area, check out D's rod shop in Cliff, NM. The coolest fly shop I've been in, which was pretty much a tinkerer's basement where the owner is just thinking up unique rods/flys. Snagged this 11' 2-3 wt. that has a switch handle doubling it as a 5wt spey.
- Also on the trip, managed to get the AZ rare and wild salmonid slam with Gila and Apache trout as well as arctic grayling. Very cool fish in some very unique places!
- Banner morning before hitting the airport outta Tucson after a 10 day vacation in the deserts and sky islands of the southwest. A nice end that makes 8 species of Crotalus seen this trip.

- An incredible film. It has so much going wrong in it, and it's beautiful.
- Got lucky to sneak up on a couple of snapping turtles wrestling (mating?) while wading up the Eno last weekend. Hard to tell if it is mating, I would normally guess yes but seems a bit late for here. Either way the smaller one seems unconvinced.
