A big shout out to my coauthors @jakeberv.bsky.social @paleodm.bsky.social and everyone who made this work possible @miamiuniversity.bsky.social

Whales span a range of symphyseal morphologies, varying in degree of mobility (fusion) and length (elongation). In this paper, we examine the evolution of these traits across whale phylogeny and geologic time.

How sex shapes transcriptome evolution in the songbird brain Sex differences have captivated scientists for a long time, yet the evolutionary rate of change in sex-biased gene expression has not been directly quantified. To address this issue, we leverage brain...

I'm a little bit late, but happy to see this new paper led by @imillercrews.bsky.social and anchored by @rosvall-lab.bsky.social now out on bioRxiv.

We analyze comparative songbird RNA-seq data using new features in our software package, CAGEE. Check it out!

Well, this is bad.

If you’re wondering what the deal is with beef tallow & seed oils, the summary is that seed oils are not less healthy than other oils & are probably healthier than most, especially saturated animal fats like beef tallow. Regardless of oil, fried & salted potatoes do not have good nutritional value.

A+

Same.

Maybe this means I get paid.

Deep.

switching to a lottery system doesn't happen in isolation. it also comes with lifting the enormous burden of gamesmanship that is now required. a move toward a system more like canada's would be a net positive.

Happy to report that Jurassic World Rebirth is really good. In the words of Alan Grant (JP3, which is lore), "what John Hammond and InGen did... is create genetically engineered theme park monsters. Nothing more and nothing less." Still holds. Best since 1+2. Possibly 1. Go.

Where?

Honestly this is about to be one of the most heavily cited R packages in ornithology 😂
