PhD, Postdocs and Academic Positions (17) in Leiden University in Netherlands scholaridea.com/2025/01/18/phd…

.Universität München canceled Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt’s talk. Christine Binzel, Michael Barenboim, + I wrote the letter below to the university management as this is an attack on academic freedom, delegitimises the UN, and silences those who take a stance against Israel's genocide in Gaza.🧵 1/3

What does it say about a university that cancels a talk on colonialism, human rights, and international law? It is shocking to see how German universities, following the federal government’s lead, are abandoning human rights and international law. 2/3

The first many-analysts study in ecology is finally published! 🥳🙌 300+ coauthors and 5+ years, this was a massive effort by Elliot Gould Dr Hannah Fraser Tim Parker and co. Open access 👉 bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

A lack of genetic variation can constrain adaptation, and correlations between trait variability and divergence are testaments of that. But how do we interpret such correlations when they last over many millions of years? New paper with Patrick Rohner nature.com/articles/s4155…

The paradox of predictability deepens: why is macroevolution so predictable from estimates of variation from just a handful of extant species? A new exiting paper by Patrick Rohner and David Berger!

Have been using the pre-print of this article in class... Glad to see it finally published! Great work. Different experts can make different (valid) decisions in data analysis, requiring public documentation of your data and your code.
