Very happy to announce that Shermineh Minai successfully defend her Masters thesis today.  Shermineh contributed greatly to the population and genetic evolution studies we undertook over the past two years.  She was a co-author on the recent paper on the effects of management on genetic diversity in the honey bee, in addition to co-authoring a very exciting manuscript on the effects of recombination on GC content and molecular evolution in the honey bee (currently being reviewed).  She also wrote another manuscript on the molecular evolution of transcription factors involved in regulating worker behaviour.

Congrats Shermineh on a very productive masters.
