Our new preprint is out! grenedalf: population genetic statistics for the next generation of pool sequencing Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2306.11622 GitHub: github.com/lczech/grenedalf with @spence_jeffrey_ and @MExpositoAlonso also to be presented at #evolution2023

Another episode of "have you ever fought with software X?" Current tools for pool-seq in Evolve Reseq data are too slow or have other problems (🧵) @LucCzech wrote from scratch an easy to use C tool for pool-seq comp popgen stats w @Spence_Jeffrey_ arxiv.org/abs/2306.11622

Come join us at #evolution2023, with several hot topics from the #moilab
The #MOILAB will be at #evolution2023 presenting in diverse topics: experimental evolution and popgen, ecology and local adaptation, to conservation biology, and biogeography! evolutionmeetings.org @CarnegiePlants @CarnegieEcolo @Stanford @HHMINEWS moilab.science/team

me: makes all figure in pdf form, so they are infinitely scaleable without loss of resolution journal: please convert to tiff or eps, both of which look like garbage at the maximum allowed file size. Thanks! me:

So together with @eth @medialab @filecoingreen @bjornlutjens @LucCzech @WWF @fsc_if @SimplexDNA @GainForestNow @CeloOrg @frcamillerivera @DavaExplorer and many more, we build a system to reward local communities for data. End-to-end. And tested it out in Cagwait, Philippines šŸ‡µšŸ‡­

All those new AI driven code suggestion tools are a great resource. However, I think a major task now will be to avoid that future programmers just blindly rely on these, as that will lead to replication (and probably self-reinforcement) of suboptimal code. (1/2)

Fun with phylogenetic placements! That's like taxonomic assignment, but with colors! ;-)

Finally a generation of young experts that can bring about the desperately needed change! Politics has been concerned with profits instead of solutions for far too long! @guadarivasr
Young climate experts ready for top roles in negotiations at COP27 context.news/just-transition… Sixty newly trained youth negotiators will join their country delegations at the U.N. summit in Egypt with an aim to speed change @MarieClaireGrafm @archieyounguk @guadarivasr @evelynaddor

Wide-ranging consequences of priority effects in ecological communities can be surprisingly simple to explain. Accepted @eLife manuscript led by Callie Chappell (@eco_genome) posted today, full online version to follow. elifesciences.org/articles/7…

It's worth spending some time discussing what this new @whitehouse Open Science policy does and doesn't do, and what is still be to determined. whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upd…
