Kenny’s PhD defence last week went super well, and we are pleased to announce Dr. Kenneth Askelson!

Dr. Askelson’s dissertation is titled “Introgression, recombination, and genomic differentiation in a cryptic species complex of North American passerines.”

This week we are also celebrating the publishing of one of Kenny’s papers:

Askelson, K., G.M. Spellman, and D. Irwin. 2023. Genomic divergence and introgression between cryptic species of a widespread North American songbird. Molecular Ecology 32: 6839-6853. Link

Congrats Kenny!!
