Part 2. This week in #sistematicaunam @ib_unam, an intro to the Coalescent. I wrote/debugged two htmls to demo Wright-Fisher drift and Kingman’s (see vid) models in #Spanish using @antropic.bsky.social Claude Sonnet with custom number of individuals sampled. #systematics #popgen #phylogenies.

We just released a blog post about something I'm very excited about: Great Docs. Post is in the *new* Posit Open Source site:
opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-04...
Great Docs is a #python pkg for creating beautiful Python package websites. We make it easy to use but also give you lots of options.

The Mongue lab and Kawahara lab @dr-akito.bsky.social are hiring postdocs!!
If you're interested in the genomics of extreme sexual dimorphism and/or silk production, come work on bagworms with us!

This week in #sistematicaUNAM Susana Magallón led the BEAST2 by @arambaut.bsky.social @adrummond.bsky.social et al. tree calibration/dating lab by @trayc7.bsky.social using Malpighiales 🪴 (BTW, if screen log saved in 2.7.7, it won’t show it but you can open such file in your fave text editor.)
Preparing a #phylogenetic #bioinformatics #stats #birdos care package for my mentor, taking advantage a colleague from MN is here at @UNAM_mx You think he’ll like it?
Pretending to be #teamfish two days in a row… 🐠 🐟 It’s going great so far! cavefish.ib.unam.mx @ib_unam great science & ☕️ 🍪 🍌 🍎 #AIM2026 #cavefish #astyanax

#ggtree by @yulab.bsky.social is fantastic for visualizing #phylo data in @rconsortium.bsky.social as it’s mounted on the @posit.co tidyverse. These are some phylopic.org homework plots from the #sistematicaunam class at @ib_unam real purdy ain’t ‘em?
Check out the elegant level of #phylogenetic #dataviz in @rconsortium.bsky.social & @posit.co my graduate padawans are pulling in the advanced @systbiol.bsky.social class @unam_mx! How neat is that!? I’d say pretty neat 😎📈📊
Birdo nerd peeps, it’s happening!!!! #IOC2026 in Merida Yucatán, Nov 30 - Dec 5. Early Bird (doiiii) just opened! iocongress2026.com #orno #ornithology
Is that Bayesian time of the year in #sistematicaunam @unam when we use the pain of non-convergence @nmkphylo.bsky.social experienced some years ago, that make for a great cautionary tale on parametric #phylogenetics
We also have a job search open for a researcher/prof in systematcs & malacology 🐌 🦪 🐙 🦑 @ib_unam! Here’s the info www.ib.unam.mx/ibunam/Convo... Malacólogues del mundo, venid a la @UNAM!
Come join me and other great colleagues at @ib_unam !! We’re searching for a new orno 🦅 🦢 🦉 systematics researcher/prof. for the largest bird collection in Mexico. See details herein www.ib.unam.mx/ibunam/Convo... Amigxs ornitólogxs! Habemus búsqueda de nuevx investigadorx! Apliquen!
Thanks for the comment, Hernán, we'll pass it over to the training team leads for consideration.
In the meantime, you can access the materials from last year's edition of the course for free in the on-demand section of our training catalogue: www.ebi.ac.uk/training/mat...

It looks awesome!
It’d be great if at some point there is an online version, for people on the other side of the pond :)
Did u know u can fully run R, Python, Julia in your browser using @Google Colab ♾️?
Can’t wait to try it in #systematics class @unam !!
Got’em!!
Oooops! Edmundo already made them spirits. He and Miguel say they’re Mexigonus! Two reproductive males and one female. There should be more at my mom’s though.
Using my Spring Break to play arachnologist & collect some Habronattus jumping spiders 🕷️ from Hidalgo. Maybe @waynemaddison.bsky.social will take a gander.
