Proud of the latest edition of my free intro biostats book.

Not complete but at a good point to take a break, and I think its quite usable
dm me with comments , ideas etc

I cannot believe our work is finally out there and in @journal-evo.bsky.social ! This was an enormous group effort!
We provide an updated estimate of the number of buzz pollinated angiosperm species, genera, and families, look at consequences for diversification, number of transitions, and more!

New paper by former MSc student @christeinecke.bsky.social! ⭐ A behemoth effort to apply artificial selection on clonal reproduction in #Mimulus guttatus. We show that clonality evolves quickly, but not symmetrically in both directions, and multivariate life history traits are altered too! 🧪🌾

SO ANGRY
As a Harvard international graduate student… I’m sad. And scared. Really scared.
Harvard has just under 6,800 foreign students enrolled. Every one of them would have to give up their dreams of an education in the US or transfer elsewhere, if Noem's attack on Harvard is upheld.
None of them have done anything wrong, they're just collateral damage to Trump.

I hope every single Tufts parent out there calls the University and their reps about this.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
