Grok on Musk, Trump, and what we can learn from Dune in 2025:

Our institute of Ecology and Evolution, Uni Bern, Switzerland, is opening a competition for a post of professor (tenure-track) for Conservation Biology. Distribute as widely as you can. ohws.prospective.ch/public/v1/jobs…

The Institute of #ecology and #evolution at @unibern is looking for two tenure-track assistant professors (APTT): APTT Mathematical or Computational Ecology 👩‍💻 APTT #Conservation #Biology 👨🏾‍🔬 More info: tinyurl.com/IEEjobs Application deadline: 1 March 2025

@jgschraiber Same here… probably people submit before summer break?

Why do review requests seem to arrive in clusters? I think I went like 3 months without a single review request and now I've gotten like 5 in 2 weeks.

Do you use Local Ancestry Inference (LAI)? Wanna know how much error to expect given source divergence or time since admixture? Wanna apply LAI to your aDNA study but have only one high-coverage ancient individual that could represent a specific ancestry? Check out our new paper:

The 2024 Molecular Ecology Prize has been awarded to Professor Michael Whitlock, Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Congrats to Prof. Whitlock! Read more: buff.ly/49wpOLa (1/5)

@georg_renner @MartinThuer @sinnreich wirklich grossartiges spiel! Empfehlung für ein nicht zu langes, sehr politisches und intrigantes spiel: Root. Einstieg ist aber nicht so leicht wie bei D:I

@MartinThuer @sinnreich Für kürzeres: Ich bin zuletzt in Dune:Imperium gekippt, das ein bisschen weniger backstabby ist, aber von den Mechanismen ein Traum.

Über diese Studie denke ich schon länger nach: Ist Lügen und Betrügen ein Problem der KI oder nicht einfach die einzige Möglichkeit bei Diplomacy zu gewinnen? diepresse.com/18456134/luege… (Auge @georg_renner, @sinnreich)

Universities should be the fountainhead of a “we should talk” movement.

“We should talk” from @kaltoons

I am looking for a PostDoc with a background in math/physics and a strong interest in biology (or vice versa). Are you excited about inversions and local adaptation? Want to live in Bern, hike in the alps and swim in the Aare? Come work with us! ohws.prospective.ch/public/v1/jobs…

I haven't read the Haidt book, and overall I think the current evidence is uncertain. But good grief, the discourse on here indicates something is fundamentally broken with how academics engage with ideas in the public. There so little substance beyond "Haidt sucks, lol".

@DevoEvoMed @HannesSvardal Yes. We discussed the kammerer work in our journal club and Hannes wrote a paper on it, he then got some for the office and set up a webcam sonwe all could admire them 24/7. I think it was a birthday present for Joachim Hermisson

@DevoEvoMed @HannesSvardal did it back in the day - maybe he still does?

Very proud to promote our new pre-print, exploring how recombination landscapes diverge between ecotypes in early stages of speciation with gene flow. With @MarionTalbi and @Dlimnothrissa
