John Cale!!

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

Very nice haul there! That Go-Betweens album is A+. Been looking for it here in Fayetteville for a very long time.

🤣🤣🤣

Last week I gave my promotion seminar. Today, I have to give a 20 minute presentation about what I do to my 11 year old son's science class.

Guess which one gives me the most anxiety?

Fantastic meeting! I had a great time and honored to have been able to give a talk.

YouTube video by Rosana Z-F Zenil-Ferguson. The importance of quantifying rate uncertainty

Unfortunately, I couldn't join in person #eseb2025, but the organizers kindly accommodated a video. Posted here in case you missed it!

Congrats all around!

New paper on diatom phylogenomics from our lab. Ten years in the making, but it always took a backseat to student and postdoc papers.

Multiple transitions to high l‐DOPA 4,5‐dioxygenase activity reveal molecular pathways to convergent betalain pigmentation in Caryophyllales Many specialized metabolic pathways have evolved convergently in plants, but distinguishing multiple origins from alternative evolutionary scenarios can be difficult. Here, we explore the evolution .....

Excited to share a new paper with Sandra Guerrero-Rubio and @docbroc.bsky.social on the convergent evolution of betalains, now published in @newphyt.bsky.social! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/.... A 🧵

Deadline tomorrow, April 4th at 5:00pm! Apply & share!

@phylojennatics.bsky.social and @rlsavage.bsky.social, botanists and PhD students with the @maribethlatvis.bsky.social Lab in the Dept. of Biological Sciences at the @uarkansas.bsky.social recently taught students about botany, plant collecting, and biodiversity at the Holcomb Elementary STEM Night!

In recognizing that lots of students (undergrads and grads) are unaware of the dire situation created by the recent executive / DOGE actions, I am trying to compile a list of how these will impact folks so I can make materials and spread the word and get more advocates. 1/2

Hey! We’re looking for a woman in science who is actively promoted and supported women in biology to give a talk or lead a workshop. Let me know if you have any recommendations! #womeninstem

Does someone have a formal source on pauses on panels or funding for NSF?

I guess I hadn't posted this yet and didn't even know it had come out-- I was interviewed for (and co-wrote w/Daniel Rabosky) a Trends in Ecology & Evolution "TrendsTalk" article on "Disability in ecology and evolution" -- www.cell.com/trends/ecolo... #DisabledInSTEM #academicchatter #academia

The Pease Lab in the Dept of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at The Ohio State University is looking for a Postdoc interested in genotype-phenotype-environment evolution in plant and animal genomes. Details at osu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/OSUCar... and more info at www.peaselab.org

We begin reviewing applications on Monday!!!

Fantastic news!!! Congrats @tvasconcelos.bsky.social

Amen.

Some Thoughts on the Dylan Biopic I got the opportunity to see the new Dylan movie at an advance screening a couple nights ago. And I wanted to share a few thoughts about. I don’t know how to write a movie review. And I don’t know…

New paper with @snaildit.bsky.social❗

You can use paralogs to reduce long-branch attraction!
This will be especially helpful when there are no extant taxa that can be sampled to break up these branches.

(Last one) David Ruffin’s 1973 self titled album. The opening song is an absolute banger:

English Beat’s Special Beat Service (1983). I recommend this to students every year. Some actually say they love it:

Next we got the 1965 classic by the incomparable Buck Owens:

Semester is officially over. Drinking a beer and listening to records for the first time in like forever.

First up: Buffalo Springfield Again (1967)

As I look back on another semester of teaching Evolutionary Biology with @phylieu.bsky.social, I think what stands out the most was the student who, in earnest, told us he had a question about Harvey-Weinstein Equilibrium.
