📢New WP!📢 The Class Gap in Career Progression: Evidence from US Academia, w/ Kyra Rodriguez Class is rarely a focus of research or DEI in elite US occupations. Evidence suggests it should be: we find a large class gap in at least one occupation - tenure-track academia...🧵

Developed & led by (old-grad-school-mate, friend & fantastic theoretician) Jeremy Draghi, w/ Luis Zaman, Todd Parsons, & k.a.n.e *Relaxed selection can speed the evolution of complex adaptations* biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨Our paper on the major update to R package mvSLOUCH is out!🚨 Now w/ rapid speed for your large multivariate datasets + measurement error + missing data + crucially, the ability to specify precisely how sets of traits evolving by OU/BM interact, e.g. for modularity tests!

Too many to thank for helping to get this over the finish line. Flying back home from #Evol2024 but will write up a thread shortly!

Interested in a PhD or Masters at the intersection of AI and Ecology? This research area is growing rapidly, and it can be hard to figure out which research groups where are doing what! Come join our infosession to hear from PIs worldwide about their research and goals!!

First time I've ever retweeted an MMA fighter, but he's definitely not lying.

I realized I haven’t had the chance to properly celebrate Moritz Lürig joining the lab at the beginning of the year. But now Moritz has his first paper in the lab out in Ecology Letters. And it is a fun one. Go check it out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Me looking at this board across the country:

The chronospace R package is now published!! I hope it'll provide useful tools for visualizing and exploring sensitivity in estimates of divergence times. A really fun project with lifelong friend Millacarmonia besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…

Phenotypic variances across six levels of biological organisations are all correlated. We propose "dialectical" relationships between micro- and macroevolution to explain our finding. Thrilled to hear what readers think about our idea! Keita Saito biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm hiring a post-doc to work on a new NSF-funded project. This is funded up to two-years and is in collaboration with Andrew Dickerson at UTK. Start date is very negotiable. Job description here: tinyurl.com/2whyry36. Contact me if you're interested. Please RT!!!

Nice profile on Eliot Miller! blogs.umsl.edu/news/2024/09/0…

If he keeps gaining tugging at our heart strings like this the evolution meetings might look a whole lot different in a few years.

If he's Sceloporus minor than what's a Sceloporus major look like? Beautiful!

A milestone for Virginia Tech Computer Science The Sanghani Center at Virginia Tech Ph.D. student Mridul Khurana @ECCV 🇮🇹 in Milan, Italy, to present his 1st, 1st-author paper European Conference on Computer Vision #ECCV2026 #ECCV2024. Full list of collaborators -- including ılkın kerımov M. Maruf Josef Uyeda Anuj Karpatne (from VT) -- and link to paper: arxiv.org/abs/2408.00160

Awesome postdoc with Diego Sasso Porto in Helsinki working on bee morphology & ontologies! This will be a very cool project. Please share. jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki-P…

I really thought this tweet was just normal popgen

Unifying statistical #genetics & #phylogenetics. Joshua G. Schraiber🌹 Doc Edge & Matt Pennell show that the distinct ways of mapping phenotypes while controlling for ancestry in these two fields are actually special cases of the same general approach #PLOSBiology plos.io/4eZvKiv
