@OxyEvo not super biology related but just another take on the human evolution diagram, but instead for artificial intelligence!

AI constantly changes. What does Berkeley AI lab professor Michael I. Jordan have to say about the future of AI in the coming years? #DataScience #ArtificialIntelligence https://t.co/3FzMzRT4vu

@OxyEvo An interesting article about how COVID-19 could potentially evolve through mutations to become less virulent and thus less deadly (this study used some bayesian statistics to come to this prediction -- shoutout @oxybiostats ) https://t.co/A9mRNgvXhw

[Margot Murphy @Margot_B_Murphy]

@OxyEvo Poking fun at the typical (but not necessarily correct) depiction of human evolution

[Margot Murphy @Margot_B_Murphy]

@OxyEvo An article form a few years ago explaining how the ultra-social hypothesis and evolution have contributed to human morality.https://t.co/7sxSZvjDxx

[Margot Murphy @Margot_B_Murphy]

@OxyEvo A super interesting and relevant article that came out just a few days ago pertaining to the neanderthal genes we talked about in class and how they may impact how certain people's bodies react to COVID-19. https://t.co/0wYaZu7kPM

@OxyEvo German researchers discovered fossilized bones of a previously unknown species of Ape in a Bavaria clay pit during 2015-2018 which show a combination of anatomical features indicative both of tree living and upright walking!

@OxyEvo Very interesting article about how sympatric speciation is much more common than we initially thought! https://t.co/1fTovryiw9

@OxyEvo An interesting tweet from today about recently found fossilized foot prints from the Pleistocene epoch! The geological timescale is concept we covered early in the course, but very cool nonetheless. The Pleistocene epoch occurred just before the Holocene epoch!

[NYT Science @NYTScience]

Even during the Pleistocene, it seems, human toddlers wanted to be picked up and carried at the most inopportune times https://t.co/TpraiXufB5

We have one shot. One opportunity. One moment.

Don’t miss the chance — vote.

[Margot Murphy @Margot_B_Murphy]

Vote tomorrow!!!! Vote because science is real and so is evolution (and our future depends on it). @OxyEvo https://t.co/EaEy1irYE1

@OxyEvo A study looking into sexual dimorphism and female fertility with meiosis success with varying PRDM9 levels mice. It was previously thought that without high levels of the meiosis specialized histone PRDM9, these mice would be infertile.

@alisaditt @OxyEvo More neurotoxins were recently discovered in Cone Snails in the Schulz lab that could potentially reveal more of their evolutionary history! These snails have an even faster prey strike than snakes, but use similar harpoon-like teeth to deliver their venom. @OxyEvo

[Margot Murphy @Margot_B_Murphy]

@OxyEvo More info on the study determining that Neanderthals interbred with the ancestors of modern humans. They depicted this information using gene trees!

@OxyEvo Phylogenetic analysis of COVID-19 to examines the evolution of of the corona virus in a new host! https://t.co/ucm9GGp8JH

😴 Get a good night's sleep! Space history is happening tomorrow & you are cordially invited. @OSIRISREx will briefly touch down on asteroid Bennu to retrieve rock samples for return back to Earth.

@OxyEvo Evidence of Chimps evolving due to climate change, similar to the birds we read about in the Karell reading from this week! Adaptations are cool, but climate change is not :( !!
