A request to make a small donation if you are able:
My friend and colleague, Gumercindo Crispin, is undergoing surgeries after having broken two vertebrae in his neck. He is an important force for science, community, and conservation

What should we think about when creating new protected areas (PAs) to meet with #30x30 goals?
Our new @CommsBio article focuses on amphibians to explore the conservation potential of microreserves:

This is a call to value microreserves and use them strategically-- each one is an โจopportunity โจto draw microendemics, critically important habitats, and critically important populations into our PA network-- particularly for currently underrepresented taxa!

University of California folks-- how are you dealing with reducing your google drive storage ๐ตโ๐ซ
Getting threats of discontinued email service... Have spent DAYS trying to reduce below 5GB limit as Berkeley alum and just my email still consumes 7.32GB !

Here is a detailed thread about SINGER (thanks @yun_s_song for putting it together!). I will keep improving SINGER and developing new ARG inference/applications methods. Feedbacks/critiques are welcome, and they can be incorporated into our future works!

We are delighted to share our work on a robust, accurate method for sampling genome-wide genealogies (aka ARGs) from the full posterior distribution. This is a product of years of hard work by @YunDeng5, who is jointly advised by @ras_nielsen and me. doi.org/10.1101/2024.03.16.5โฆ
