It's NSF GRFP season! Applications are due in October. Here is a link to a Google Sheet with essays from many successful applicants. #AcademicChatter docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

The manuscript describing my software to assemble phylogenomic datasets, Captus (github.com/edgardomortiz/…), is finally submitted!, here you can access the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am at fault for multiple ones of these. Gotta work on these for sure.

Sci Hub is a "pirate" website with 88M research papers freely available. Using it is not advisable. We should all try to make billion-dollar acdemic publishers richer. Here's a thread on integrating Zotero with Sci Hub to get free articles. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS 😉

I am delighted to present TRAILS, a new hidden Markov model that - reconstructs the speciation process (ancestral Ne and speciation times) - infers the multi-species ancestral recombination graph (ARG) Stay here for a brief summary of the paper! (1/17) doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Apply now for the 2024 @ASNAmNat student research award! amnat.org/announcements/… We offer $2K in research funding for post-candidacy graduate students working to achieve the ASN mission of conceptual unification of ecology, evolution, or behavior. Applications are due March 15!

I would like to share our paper on "ReptTraits: a comprehensive dataset of ecological traits in reptiles" that was published today in Scientific Data More details can be found at: nature.com/articles/s4159… #ScientificData #reptiles #Traits #OpenAccess #Science #Database

I have made my entire "Introduction to ggplot2" tutorial available on my website! The tutorial covers the basics of ggplot2, geometries, colors, themes, etc. It includes code and comments, as well as references to Pokémon! #RStats #ggplot2 #dataviz brunomioto.com/posts/intro_gg…

Please read this thread!!!

I field a lot of questions about ancestral state reconstruction of discrete traits so I posted a new tutorial to my blog that contains a number of useful #Rstats #phytools demos. 😀 Check it out here: blog.phytools.org/2024/04/a-few-….

A lot of bioinformatics requires editing sequencing reads to facilitate QC and make them suitable for processing. To help with such tasks, Delaney Sullivan developed splitcode, now published at academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… 1/

Tucker Heptinstall, M.Sc. Thanks to everyone who played a role in helping me get here! On to the next!

To be a good geospatial data scientist, you need good tools. My tool of choice is R. Here are the packages I can't live without: #rstats

This week the AGC hosted an excellent seminar by Mark Scherz Dr Mark D. Scherz, the Curator of Herpetology at the Natural History Museum of Denmark. You can watch Mark's talk and the many others we have lined up for the year by joining the AGC at go.unimelb.edu.au/k2ss
