Tonight on Biased Transmission

Tonight on Biased Transmission the guest will be Adam Jones, an evolutionary biologist and Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at Texas A&M University. He received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Environmental, Population and Organismic Biology from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1992. He then moved to the University of Georgia and earned his Ph.D. in Genetics under the mentorship of Dr. John C. Avise in 1998. Jones then took a position as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Stevan Arnold in the Department of Zoology at Oregon State University. From 2002 to 2004, Jones was an Assistant Professor in the School of Biology at Georgia Institute of Technology.

In the summer of 2004, he moved to his current position at Texas A&M. Professor Jones’s areas of expertise include: the use of molecular techniques to resolve unanswered questions in sexual selection; theoretical studies of quantitative genetics and behavior, and the evolution of major morphological innovations. Other research projects in his lab involve population genetics, conservation genetics, speciation and molecular evolution. Tune in if you’re interested in understanding why you chose your mate and why your mate chose you. It should be an interesting and informative show.
