Sujet de stage M2 sur la "dock mussel", cet écotype de moules hybrides qui habite dans les ports. L'objectif est de tester si la dock mussel s’est adaptée grâce à sa variance génétique d’admixture ou si l’admixture n’est que le corolaire du contact secondaire entre les deux espèces parentales.

I keep seeing the same questions asked in marine biology career advice groups. So along with some colleagues, I'm trying to compile a bunch of common questions and answer them all at once. Please share widely with anyone who might have questions!

FYI - Harvard law graduates alone comprise 8% of the federal judiciary
This will have massive downstream consequences on descriptive representation in the courts in 15-20 yrs

“Harvard Law enrolled 19 first-year Black students, or 3.4 percent of the class, the lowest number since the 1960s, according to the data from the American Bar Association.”

Black Student Enrollment at Harvard Law Drops by More Than Half
After a Supreme Court decision ended race-based admissions, some law schools saw a decline in Black and Hispanic students entering this fall. Harvard appeared to have the steepest drop.

My very first publication here and for a great reason 🎉
It was lovely to interact with @homerej.bsky.social during my time at the Technical University of Denmark. It is even better to see his article now out 🦪 🧬 📄

Harpy v1.0 is officially out and... YOU DON'T NEED DATA. You read that right, you don't need data to get started. It now includes a genomic variant and linked-read simulator, so all you need is a haploid genome and you can simulate the rest to try out haplotag analysis 😁

Darwin’s Origin was frequently (if unfairly) criticized as being a theory of the origin of species with the origin of species left out. I don’t know who said it first, but I’d guess it wasn’t long after its 1859 publication. I wonder if Dana was (consciously or not) calling back.

In 1866, James Dwight Dana called James Hall's theory of mountains "a theory for the origin of mountains with the origin of mountains left out." This is one of the most celebrated zingers in the history of geology, but is it true?

Higher mortality is not a universal cost of dispersal: doi.org/10.1086/726220
Our 32-year study of African wild dogs shows that dispersing individuals actually face lower mortality compared to residents. Time to rethink some of the long-held assumptions on cost of dispersal.
