NASA's Perseverance rover just found potential biosignatures in ancient Martian rocks! Organic matter + minerals = a strong hint at past microbial life. It's not definitive proof, but it's the closest we've come. If confirmed, imagine the legacy code Martian microbes left behind! What are your thoughts?

I'm hiring a #postdoc, for #bioinformatics work on amino acid substitution models. I think they are key for understanding biophysics of selection on #proteins, #mutation patterns, and #AncientLife, as well as improving #phylogenetics methods. https://evol.mcmaster.ca/brian/evoldir/PostDocs//UArizona.AminoAcidSubstitutionModels #ScienceJobs #evolution @jobsecoevo
