Dr. Moisés Expósito-Alonso, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Freeman Hrabowski Scholar and Assistant Professor, wins the Genetics Society of America Early Career Medal for outstanding contributions to the field of genetics. He is being recognized for pioneering research on evolutionary adaptation, spanning the genomic architecture of adaptation across climates, rapid evolution in near-natural long-term experiments, and the loss of genetic diversity across species. The award also celebrates Moisés’s leadership of an international outdoor Arabidopsis experimental evolution project GrENE-net.org, and his commitment to mentorship of students at the University of California, Berkeley, as well as his science communication work in international biological conservation forums.
