Do you know how much CO2 emission our supercomputer produce?

Let's safe the Earth by not running jobs on Earth Day :v

How can you investigate nutrient cycles & plant composition as affected by large vertebrates, which the effects can only be seen yearly for 10 years, using grants that only have 5 years cycle at maximum, most even 1 year? 🥲

Peer reviews can be so long that you are afraid your species already evolved differently than your paper when your paper is out 😭

Wanna learn how to explore your genomic data to know how related your samples and populations are to each other? Come and join us and @jolijnerven.bsky.social on our next #AaRCademy workshop! April 16h at 14:00 CET!

My physicist colleague asking me about this paper as he thinks I'm doing enough popgen to understand, but I don't think I'm doing enough human genetics & simulations do justice in my review.

Anyone can, care to, & can fairly tell me what makes sense & what not?

Thanks a bunch Laura! I always see these & forgot which & where when I need them.

I think I need practical details on what to say to decision makers because there isn't exactly a lot of time to chat & when we do they want quick easy answers 🙃 to have a guide to not be misquoted will be great 😂

Anyone has a guideline/template of how to use genetic data in management recommendations that has *actually* been used by the government to make a management decisions? #consgen

Academics Need to Wake Up on AI Ten theses for folks who haven't noticed the ground shifting under their feet

"Perhaps it’d be a good thing if AI finally pushes us to move on from a system where universities spend taxpayer money to pay commercial publishers to very slowly produce paywalled PDFs with outdated results of publicly funded research."

We recommend a read of the new MBE editorial on how society journals work towards protecting the scientific record.

Publishing in society journals, such as @molbioevol.bsky.social or @genomebiolevol.bsky.social, promotes transparent science that benefits the research community.

Crop scientists have long recognized that reproduction is going to be the first point of failure for plants with rising global temperatures. However, this has often been overlooked by those studying natural populations. In this new review, we try to change that. ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

I never know when people use "prefer not to say" in their gender dropdown question, are they actually queer or just do not want to register to the diversity inclusivity effort here.

I am pleased to announce that my Google Calendar invites has been all ACCEPTED.

Currently counting the days I may not be able to do science anymore as no grants nor contracts coming in 👻

Happy International Day of Women in Science, folks!

Is there any grant available to keep women in science without having to uproot their family somewhere else around here? Happy with 3 months mobility but not 1-2 years "have to move from country where you have spent more than 12 months in" :D

Davis Summer Population Genomics Program Want to learn population genetics? Please fill out this form to indicate your potential interest in a 2-week intensive online summer population genetics course taught by Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra and Graham...

Fun news! @gcbias.bsky.social and I are teaching a 2-week online population genetics workshop this summer to raise money for the Center for Population Biology at UC Davis. We're trying to gauge interest -- please fill this out if you might be interested! And please share broadly!

US seems to have a lot of job ad going on, I thought science fundings were cut there? Are they back because POTUS decides to focus on Greenland?

A bit of a long shot, but does anyone know of any good (short) courses and/or reference books in/for zooarchaeology? I've had an interest in zooarch (esp microfauna) for a while, but have limited specialist knowledge/hands on experience to take it any further! TIA 😊

Another shoutout to people working in selection and local adaptation to submit to this very special symposium on #SMBE2026 😆

We hope to hear and discuss works from systems where non-equilibrium happens 🤩

The crazy mumbo jumbo output of LLM texts is actually a good source of inspiration for making a research grant proposal. Now that I see this thing envisioned similar idea with me I am not sure if I should be happy being vindicated or sad that my imagination is not even better than an artificial one.

Thought long-read sequencing had “solved” structural variant genotyping? We did. Turns out many SVs still have high genotype error rates with current tools. Our new method SVUPP uses long-read pre-phasing to reduce errors and improve genotype quality

Indonesia floods were ‘extinction level’ disturbance for world’s rarest ape Conservationists fear up to 11% of Tapanuli orangutan population perished in disaster that also killed 1,000 people

The worst flood I've known in the country claiming all kinds of life and yet the government still does not want to declare it national disaster and even refusing foreign aids!
