"Correlation is not causation"

To illustrate the point, Omar E. Cornejo and I built a model (SEIR w/ high- & low-risk groups). Because low-risk people are more common, their behavioral change can have *greater* impact on lowering peak number of infections. Ideally, everyone limits interactions, but... [2/8]

I have zero experience in a covid-related field, but I have a PhD, I am pretty goodz with the numberz, I am a man, and I know people really want to hear what I have to say so here is my take on covid-19:

You have an excellent background in #comparativegenomics or #populationgenomics, are looking for a post-doc on #comparativegenomics or inference of #populationhistory & want to apply for a #MarieCurie Individual Fellowship (ec.europa.eu/research/marie…)? Please get in touch!

Me: I love pastry Person on Twitter: I see that you like pastry and that’s fine but also I wondered if you ever knew that pastry was responsible for a murder in 1977 when someone set a sausage roll on fire which caused a fatality so you’re basically condoning murder here’s a link

#IQUIBICENPublica Les presentamos un trabajo publicado en Environmental Science and Pollution Research, que describe algunos efectos tóxicos de mezclas de nanopartículas de goethita con contaminantes metálicos y orgánicos, como el pesticida Clorpirifós, en la lombriz de tierra 👩‍🔬

Study evolution? Did you know the first African American to earn a PhD in evolutionary biology was Jospeh Graves- in 1988? His article should be required reading. We have work to do! evolution-outreach.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

It’s no secret that population genetics has roots in eugenics and scientific racism. But as a scientific community, we are skilled at avoiding the topic. Without confronting our history, we may continue to use eugenic frames of reasoning without realizing. genestogenomes.org/understanding-…

New paper is out! We studied how ECM fungi and elevated CO2 change root exudate and soil metabolites. 5 Reasons Why You Should Read This: - you love 🌳or 🍄 - soil fascinate you - you are concerned about climate change - mass spec rocks - colorful graphs sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

**Shameless self promotion** Looking for any short or long term evolutionary biology projects for 2021 around Australia. Willing to work remotely or travel. I would appreciate any retweets.. times are hard for ECRs right now!

Sé que estás ahí, referencia bibliográfica que leí una vez pero no recuerdo dónde. Y voy a encontrarte.

Biodiversity science and practice are permeated with values. Let's make this much more explicit and make biodiversity policy and action not only more legitimate but also more effective.
