Today, I happened on a very nice summary of how to avoid such biases in letters of recommendation, which provides an comprehensive outline. Check it out

Here's the first episode of my new podcast about the science of aging. I talk to two scientists who have a long-running bet about whether someone alive today will live to 150. Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... & Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0o4P...

A few months ago, this guy went viral online, proving once again that people yearn for cool invertebrates!

Now, follow its journey to the Smithsonian, where this specimen is helping scientists better understand life in the deep Gulf: ocean.si.edu/human-connec...

Congratulations to Paola Carrion-Aviles on today's successful defense of her PhD thesis:

The terroir of the finch: spatio-temporal dynamics in the evolution and ecology of Darwin’s finches.

You would think they would have considered sending this on April 2 instead.

Well, then, at least I have my health.

Live near New Haven, CT, and looking for something interesting to do April 23?

I am giving the Bass Distinguished Lecture, titled “The World Without Evolution?” taking place Wednesday, April 23 at 5 pm in O.C. Marsh Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
