"The wheels of academia turn slowly..." - someone, probably. Finally got the first chapter of my MSc thesis published! (4 years later...) A pop gen look at the evolution of southwestern African Western Rock Skinks Trachylyepis sulcata and T. ansorgii. Link below ⬇️

Had a blast teaching a workshop at the Mexican National Herpetology Conference. Introduced themes on homology, data collection, sequencing techniques, alignment, ML and BI phylogenetic inferences, and species delimitation. @SociedadHerpet1 @fciencias

@maddreptiles @uprm @NSF Great work! Love all the Mexican species included. Also interested in some metadata, specifically collection localities. Thanks!

Today is the last day to register your poster/talk abstracts for the XVII Reunión Nacional de Herpetología hosted by @SociedadHerpet1 in Merida, Yucatán 27-31 January 2025! I'll be talking about Coleonyx biogeography and giving a workshop in Phylogenetic Systematics 🇲🇽🦎🧬

@LabSpiritu any repeat samples between batches? that would help standardize

[Brett Butler @redgcko7]

@ConTexUT when will applications for the postdoctoral fellowships be open?

Thanks to our host @AGonzalezVoyer, my co-instructor @lukejharmon, & (especially) a wonderful group of student participants for the amazing Phylogenetic Comparative Methods in #Rstats workshop we had this week at @IEcologiaUNAM in #CDMX. Until next time!

Conference prep tip #1: sign up to present at a lab seminar 2 weeks before conference to avoid procrastinating
