Former super student Evan Economo is faculty at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. I visited last week and it was great to see how Evan has been doing. OIST is a spectacular facility with a growing and vibrant faculty. Researchers there are largely internally funded, so no chain-gang-esc dozens of proposals to submit per year. How refreshing. Evan has a terrific group and they are doing first rate work in biogeography and phylogenetics.
