We have released version 3.8 of Mesquite, a modular system for evolutionary analysis, now bundled with Zephyr (to run RAxML, IQ-Tree, etc.), Chromaseq, and Cartographer! The basic packages also have a few new features and bug fixes. @DavidRMaddison

At a thrift store I bought some random photos of random people, and snuck one of the photos onto a friend's fridge (yellow arrow) when I visited him. In 2019. It's driving me crazy that he hasn't said anything. What should I do?

The Tree of Life Web Project may be nearing the end of its life. The server that it is on will be retired on 31 December, and it is not clear yet whether we have the resources to move it successfully to a new one. #TreeOfLife

A lot of you are using outdated versions of Mesquite, including version 3.04, which is more than 2 years old. Spread the word: please update! The newly released version is 3.5. #mesquiteproject
