To lighten up the mood from my last post, this is how I've spent the majority of my free time the past 3 years 😄
We're in the middle of Langstrecke season (last weekend in Solothurn achterrennen.solothurner-ruderclub.ch ) and will be heading to the internationally famous Baselhead in mid-November 🤞💪

Apparently I made the mistake of using my SNSF grant money to pay for publications from my Ambizione grant in 2023 and 2024.
Does anyone know of possible solutions for retrospective funding to save me from paying 6800 CHF out of my pocket to the SNSF to cover fees paid to journals in 2023 and 2024?

Great work by Leo Zeitler for his second PhD chapter! If you want to learn about ROHs, machine learning, and distentangling selfing from demography, check it out @genomebiolevol.bsky.social

Using runs of homozygosity and machine learning to disentangle sources of inbreeding and infer self-fertilization rates
Abstract. Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) are indicative of elevated homozygosity and inbreeding due to mating of closely related individuals. Self-fertilizati

Is anyone I know planning to attend #evol2024 and then planning to drive back to the US on the 31 July? I'd love to carpool/help pay gas. Can go to Burlington VT, NYC, or even as far Philadelphia or NJ depending on where you are going! Any big transit station also works :)

Took a first step into machine learning, with Leo Zeitler, using ROHs and random forests to understand and infer sources of inbreeding from selfing versus demography. Happy to hear any thoughts and feedback!
