[Eric W. Jones @e_w_jones]

Thank you to @NSERC_CRSNG (Banting) and the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences for funding support

[Eric W. Jones @e_w_jones]

Happy to share recent work led by Ramis Rafay and in collaboration with Jane Fowler and @DavidASivak, out now in PNAS:

"How to quantify immigration from community abundance data using the neutral community model"

[Eric W. Jones @e_w_jones]

We address the practical question: "When sequencing, how many samples and what read depth do I need to accurately infer the immigration rate?"

We also introduce two distribution-based methods for inferring the immigration rate. They require less data than existing methods, too!

Out today in @PhysRevX: “Information Arbitrage in Bipartite Heat Engines”, with Jannik Ehrich & @DavidASivak @SFUPhysics. Check out the paper (https://t.co/kpQoasdPLV), or a Focus article in @PhysicsMagazine: https://t.co/IrvkV7JVH4 (1/10)

Thanks @LudingtonWill and @rendodge for the assistance!

The Department of Physics at Simon Fraser University (in beautiful and vibrant Vancouver) seeks applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Experimental Biophysics, encompassing all scales of life from molecules to ecosystems.

[Eric W. Jones @e_w_jones]

@MattLeighton5 @SFUPhysics @DavidASivak Woohoo!

[Matt Leighton @MattLeighton5]

Happy to share that I successfully defended my PhD thesis ("Stochastic Thermodynamics of Multicomponent Molecular Machines") @SFUPhysics earlier this week. Thanks so much to everyone who supported me along the way, especially my supervisor @DavidASivak!

[Eric W. Jones @e_w_jones]

Happy to share that I'm headed back to Colorado!

Introducing the Jones Microbiome Lab at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. We'll study the spatial organization and statistics of microbiomes, w/ a focus on making sense of real datasets.

Sound interesting? Let's chat!

[Jonathan Eisen @phylogenomics]

This is quite interesting. We have done a lot of indoor microbiome studies but I confess to never having thought of looking at microwaves. https://t.co/PQ8dWMepKI

[Eric W. Jones @e_w_jones]

Thanks to the entire @DavidASivak Group and @SFUPhysics for an awesome three years in Vancouver, @NSERC_CRSNG and @pimsmath for funding support,
and the collaborators that make research so much fun!

[Katie Sandlin @KatieMSandlin]

I put together a 50ish minute lecture on long-read sequencing technology covering:

1. Review of RNA-Seq Short-read Sequencing
2. Overview and benefits of Long-read Sequencing
3. @nanopore Sequencing
4. @PacBio Sequencing

The energy invested in animal reproduction is as much as 10 times greater than previously estimated, according to a new Science study.

The findings fundamentally challenge longstanding theories and biological models of animal growth and life histories. https://t.co/1zptaxe28H

[Eric W. Jones @e_w_jones]

Way to go, bro!
