I thought the bridge over route 2 of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail near Concord, MA was going to open in November, but it's open now, and it's beautiful! shar.es/afse5Z . Enjoy the nice day on two wheels, wherever you are! Friends of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail #adventurecycling


Exciting opportunity Allison Perrigo !!

Overjoyed that Svante Pääbo has won the #nobelprize2022 !! A great boost for the importance of #evolutionarybiology! I had the honor of working in Allan Wilson’s lab UC Berkeley when Svante was a postdoc there. A truly exciting time. Congratulations 🎈 Svante!!

It's #BlackHistoryMonth in the UK. University of Bristol just put on an amazing display of success in science by Africans and African Americans. There are some great scientists and several good friends in this display!


Listening to the incomparable Shane Campbell-Staton, Ph.D. on Science Friday wesa.fm talking about climate change and evolution. He's the dean of the #anthropocene !

via The New York Times. Where are @evolutionarybiologists moving to after Twitter? I need to know so I can move there #evolution #ornithology nytimes.com/2022/12/07/tec…

If you're a fan of safe cycling and more open roads for #adventurecyling, here's a good place to make an end-of-year donation. Happy new year to you! 🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️ Adventure Cycling acayearendcampaign.funraise.org/fundraiser/sco…

New Program Director needed: a great opportunity to support the next generation of diverse conservation scientists through the UCSC Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program Conservation Scholars program. Contact Faculty Director Dr. Erika Zavaleta and conservationscholars.ucsc.edu for more information.

#phylogenetics software MP-EST 3.0 github.com/lliu1871/mp-est is finally out and available on #bioconda anaconda.org/bioconda/mp-est !! Species trees from thousands of rooted gene trees fast. And a likelihood, for better testing of hypotheses. Thanks Liang Liu and Gregg Thomas!

Very excited to see the paper "Likelihood-Based Tests of Species Tree Hypotheses" in Molecular Biology and Evolution academic.oup.com/mbe/article/40…. We need to return to direct hypothesis testing when using species trees, rather than the 'ol bootstrap. LRTs using gene trees as data are a great way to go!

Excited to share our latest contribution to mapping genes for traits using phylogenies #PhyloG2P #PhyloGWAS Molecular Biology and Evolution! PhyloAcc-GT incorporates gene tree variation and improved ease of use ! academic.oup.com/mbe/article/do… phyloacc.github.io Tim Sackton, Gregg Thomas


Very excited to share a news article about our paper on a nuclear genome of a little bush moa, the vision of the late Allan Baker Royal Ontario Museum, drawings by Wren Lu ‘19 Harvard Organismic & Evolutionary Biology. Great help from friends #Maori #Aoteroa from whom I learned much abcnews.go.com/International/…


Got a life bird for my birthday! #WillowFlycatcher in downtown Waitsfield, VT, while watching my daughter run the half Mad Marathon. I know…I’m sure I’ve seen before but never really connected song to great view. Nice #commonmerganser family on Folsom brook a bonus!

Here’s an opportunity to lead one of the great American bicycling organizations! Adventure Cycling Association Adventure Cycling needs an Executive Director! See adventurecycling.org/about-us/emplo…
