Justin Borevitz is a researcher and professor at The Australian National University. The Borevitz lab works on evolutionary plant genomics, moving from model organisms to foundation species of agriculture and ecosystems. They are interested in the identification and prediction of climate adaptation alleles, the traits they control, and the environments they are filtered in. Borevitz’s lab takes a landscape genomic approach, using long read sequencing, assembly and (structural) variant calling of individuals across large, diverse populations. They also take a phenomic approach to dissect adaptive traits among offspring in selected families, grown across common gardens (seedlings to saplings to satellite).

Experts shed light on the past, present, and future of the eugenics movement and how it persists in society today
Eugenics is a stain on the founding of the field of genetics, one that modern geneticists must still reckon with. The Allied Genetics Conference 2024 featured a thought-provoking panel discussion on this subject, moderated by past GSA Presidents Denise Montell and Tracy Johnson. Panelists Katrina Claw, Nathaniel Comfort, Steven Farber, Daniel HoSang, and Jazlyn Mooney…
