Population Biology Modeling & Theory (PBMT) is a peer-reviewed journal reporting advances in modeling and theory within population biology. Its scope spans demography, ecology, epidemiology, evolutionary biology, population genetics, and phylogenetics. PBMT will be online soon.

and I are back with the next installment of “Reflections on the history of modeling and theory”, supported by @smtpb.bsky.social. Bob Holt shares his personal history and stories of his life in science: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8hX...
Had a blast at the annual @smtpb.bsky.social meeting @nitmb.bsky.social! Thoroughly enjoyed sharing my work on cancer evolutionary ecology, connecting with old and new theory colleagues, and of course discussing toroidal snakes ;)
Next week: SMTPBconnect talk from Sam Scheiner (NSF) on May 1st, 8 AM PST - register here! stanford.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
