I recently a preprint - "Testing the mettle of METAL" - that examines the performance of many different methods for phylogenetic analysis of large-scale datasets. https://t.co/K7blgu2nO8 A thread 🧵 (1/8)
It’s our birthday! To celebrate 177 years of art, music, science, and discovery enjoy these 177 collection items (we counted). All of these are part of our #SmithsonianOpenAccess collections—you can use, transform, and share these assets without asking permission from the Smithsonian.

Unveiled today, the B-21 Raider will be a dual-capable, penetrating-strike stealth bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear munitions. The B-21 will form the backbone of the future Air Force bomber force consisting of B-21s and B-52s.(U.S. Air Force photo)
In the @NatEyeInstitute intramural program: @noordwhite is mapping out the evolution of vision in search of clues about the genetic causes of retinal diseases.

Today, after years of training and preparation, I follow in my father's footsteps and begin what I hope is a long, productive career in civil service. 🇺🇸

Congratulations @noordwhite et al.! 🥳 Their probe set targeting vision genes in birds will allow researchers to utilize existing museum specimens to study the evolution of visual phenotypes 🧬🦉🦅🦃🦜
