Why PEQG is the meeting population, evolutionary, and quantitative geneticists can’t miss
What makes the Population, Evolutionary, and Quantitative Genetics (PEQG) Conference so special? For many researchers, it’s the rare chance to gather with experts who work across an incredible range of model systems, approaches, and questions, all while sharing a deep common interest.

Community VoicesPolicy changes are closing the door on the “American Dream”
The American Dream once promised that talent and hard work could open doors. For early career scientists, those doors are now closing. Research is being paused or studies outright canceled, funding delayed or completely pulled, and careers cut short—not because of bad science, but because of changing political priorities. Researchers are being forced to choose: leave science or leave the country. These setbacks send a clear message: the U.S. commitment to supporting the next generation of scientists is waning.

Community VoicesHow policy changes are driving top researchers abroad and what that means for the U.S.
The U.S. has long been a global leader in science, but that position is at risk. As research funding drops and political pressures rise, scientists, particularly in academia and research institutes, are at a crossroads—what will happen to their labs and their research? Innovation is slowing, and the next generation of researchers is being driven out. Without renewed support, the future of American science and the benefits it brings to our nation could be lost.
