@autosport When a driver (Alonso) can easily back up everyone behind him to allow a 21s gap so his teammate (Stroll) can pit without losing a position, you know the idea of racing is a joke

@autosport I think if they rename it as a “high speed parade” it would be less disappointing

@FriedmanJannice @ShelleyArnott @bobmontgomerie @majuarcaa Rats! I was inspired by your mastery. I have kept things simple to seemingly good effect but am looking for ways to improve. Keep me posted!

[Adam Chippindale @AdamChippindale]

@biologyFran @uOttawa @queensu A complete no-brainer from a rational point of view.

[Adam Chippindale @AdamChippindale]

@thelonglab T-Lo flipping fiesta! Yes there are some technical nuances. Thanks Tristan.

Super cool paper making the direct linkages between sexual selection on an exaggerated trait in males, natural selection against it, and intralocus sexual conflict where females pay an indirect price for it. https://t.co/MjgwyI4JU8

Brilliant work from the award-winning Jannice Friedman, tenured and heading to the beautiful South Island of New Zealand. Congrats!

[Jannice Friedman @FriedmanJannice]

A beautiful, important, and interesting talk by @andreajanereid at @UBCoceans A truly inspirational talk on learning from and with Indigenous communities to advance shared research goals on fish and fisheries. Thank you for sharing this important work with us @QueensUBio

@EvolOdonata All fond memories of Barry as scientist and friend -- Helene and I miss you!

[Erik Svensson @EvolOdonata]

I am so sad that my former postdoc host Barry Sinervo at UCSC has passed away.

We worked closely between 1997 and 2009 during and after my postdoc in California, and he shaped both my thinking and that of many other junior colleagues.

R.I.P. Barry! Your ideas will live on.

[Adam Chippindale @AdamChippindale]

Thank you to everyone interested! Now twenty generations into a new experimental evolution project with a PhD student, H. Thyagarajan, we are doing male-limited evolution again. It has been tough, with the lab gutted of help by COVID. Collaborations may be available.

Trump officials voice anger at G7 focus on 'niche' issues such as climate change https://t.co/bkUN6y2sM5

[Adam Chippindale @AdamChippindale]

CDN orgs asked to suspend ads re climate change during the election or face costly rules. Imagine if the same rules existed in the USA: climate change, gun control, endangered species, gender equality, immigration (etc) off the table as "partisan".

@ferrisjabr Dr. Prum has reemphasized the ideas forwarded by Sir Ronald Fisher and Michael Ryan (and many others) that preferences may commonly not be linked to naturally selected benefits. I don't think his ideas advance evolutionary biology in any other way.

[Adam Chippindale @AdamChippindale]

@ferrisjabr @jeffvandermeer Presumably we share sensory modalities with some other animals that make certain features "beautiful" (e.g., proportionate, symmetrical, vigorous) but we have to be scientists to understand the mate preferences in others.

[Adam Chippindale @AdamChippindale]

It was already a baroque story! Sadly, stories like Baker and Bellis' explanations for human sperm polymorphism as functional variants seem to persist.

[Alison Pischedda @AlisonPischedda]

I continue to be amazed at how complex fertilization is.
These fruit fly males produce at least THREE different types of sperm: fertile sperm (eusperm) and two forms of sterile sperm (parasperm) that have different functions!
