Last week I gave my promotion seminar. Today, I have to give a 20 minute presentation about what I do to my 11 year old son's science class.
Guess which one gives me the most anxiety?

In recognizing that lots of students (undergrads and grads) are unaware of the dire situation created by the recent executive / DOGE actions, I am trying to compile a list of how these will impact folks so I can make materials and spread the word and get more advocates. 1/2

You can use paralogs to reduce long-branch attraction!
This will be especially helpful when there are no extant taxa that can be sampled to break up these branches.

As I look back on another semester of teaching Evolutionary Biology with @phylieu.bsky.social, I think what stands out the most was the student who, in earnest, told us he had a question about Harvey-Weinstein Equilibrium.

Very cool stuff!
I wrote this about finding the optimal discrete character model structure. I hope this will be useful for empiricists. The main point is that relying only on the package default models is bad and can have nasty consequences or parameter estimates and ASR.
