Hi! I'm an Indonesian moslem researcher working on conservation genetics/genomics of island species (which is most species in Indonesia also).
I'm currently working on population genomics of Indonesian cattles with wild introgressions, also learning the limit of speciation using African mammals.

Happy International Day of Women in Science, folks!
Is there any grant available to keep women in science without having to uproot their family somewhere else around here? Happy with 3 months mobility but not 1-2 years "have to move from country where you have spent more than 12 months in" :D

US seems to have a lot of job ad going on, I thought science fundings were cut there? Are they back because POTUS decides to focus on Greenland?

A bit of a long shot, but does anyone know of any good (short) courses and/or reference books in/for zooarchaeology? I've had an interest in zooarch (esp microfauna) for a while, but have limited specialist knowledge/hands on experience to take it any further! TIA 😊

The crazy mumbo jumbo output of LLM texts is actually a good source of inspiration for making a research grant proposal. Now that I see this thing envisioned similar idea with me I am not sure if I should be happy being vindicated or sad that my imagination is not even better than an artificial one.

Thought long-read sequencing had “solved” structural variant genotyping? We did. Turns out many SVs still have high genotype error rates with current tools. Our new method SVUPP uses long-read pre-phasing to reduce errors and improve genotype quality
