We study evolutionary processes including speciation, trait evolution, and biogeography.

[Clemson University Biological Sciences @clemson_biolsci]

We invite applications for 2 open rank positions in Ecology, Evolutionary and or Organismal Biology.
The anticipated start date is Aug 2025.
For full consideration, apply by Nov 8, 2024, through Interfolio: https://t.co/WM4iKbcNXX.

Current sequence-based models capture gene expression determinants in promoters but mostly ignore distal enhancers https://t.co/eaXBymw4xf

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:

This week the AGC hosted an excellent seminar by Mark Scherz @MarkScherz, 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 https://t.co/96Z2C7zRgY

Thanks to everyone who played a role in helping me get here! On to the next!

A lot of bioinformatics requires editing sequencing reads to facilitate QC and make them suitable for processing. To help with such tasks, @DelaneyKSull developed splitcode, now published at https://t.co/9bbTPPAgdh 1/

Kentucky C. horridus pit stop for the @SnakeLabClemson en route to #SSAR2024.

[Liam Revell @phytools_liam]

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: https://t.co/BYV7P2z1LE.

I would like to share our paper on "ReptTraits: a comprehensive dataset of ecological traits in reptiles" that was published today in @ScientificData

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!

Please read this thread!!!

If you're studying #bioinformatics, there comes a time when you have to decide between:

- staying in academia
- going into industry
- give up #bioinformtics and do something else

Well, let me tell you what it was like for me to work as a #bioinformatics in the biotech industry! /1

Apply now for the 2024 @ASNAmNat student research award! https://t.co/AwL7tdeAnX 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!

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 😉

[Iker Rivas-González @irg_bio]

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)

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

As an academic writing coach, here are the 7 mistakes I see supervisors and PIs make in the process of co-writing a paper with their PhD students or mentees.
