An awesome talk by @uconneeb grad @AnalisaMilkey on her sequential Monte Carlo approach to sampling from the multispecies coalescent model! #Evol2023

Congratulations to Reilly Stiefel and @Zach_Muscavitch who both won awards (Hoham Undergraduate Research Award and Trainor Best Graduate Student Poster Award, respectively) at the annual @NEAS_algae conference (Mystic, CT) #uconneeb

@0_minyaaa The UConn Biology 1110 (Intro to Botany) class is doing "phytophotography" this week, using potassium iodide as the developer to show where starch is deposited in sunflower leaves. #uconneeb

Totally freaked me out when the corner of my eye somehow saw a face on a leaf!!!! But then I took a closer look and realized this is a very fun school project! #iamabotanist

Two tenure-track positions now open @uconneeb Population Genetics or Population Genomics academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/23025 Integrative Organismal Biology of Invertebrates academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/23043

Welcome, Analisa Milkey, to @uconneeb and the P. Lewis Lab! Glad to have a new Ph.D. student in the lab, and happy to have a newly-renovated lab for you to use!

I've added a new step (20) on steppingstone marginal likelihood estimation to my C++ phylogenetics software tutorial (stromtutorial.github.io)

@EpsonAmerica Up to date Epson Scan 2 software does not let me choose Transparency Unit for Document Source in my Epson Perfection V800 scanner (only option is Reflective Doc type and Scanner Glass Doc source). How do I can 35mm slides now? Using MacOS 10.14.6

@hyphy_software How do I change the model on one branch in batch file: e.g. eqfrq = {{.25}{.25}{.25}{.25}}; Model hky1 = (hkyrmat, eqfrq); Tree t = (a,b,(c,d)x); atbiased = {{.3}{.2}{.2}{.3}}; Model hky2 = (hkyrmat, atbiased); t.x = hky2; /*???*/

Former EEB grad @Suman__Neupane will be starting his new Assistant Professor of Botany position at Murray State University in Murray, KY this coming fall!
