Penultimate-year UK undergrads: if you're looking for a paid 6-8 week summer project before your final year, come to UEA in Norwich and create some transgenic Drosophila! The project is about sexual conflict and evolution/genetics. Please repost.

2-day per week part time teaching job at Edinburgh Napier, biology undergrad and MSc! Lovely place to work, AMA.

Want to learn R and stats, or improve your existing skills? I'm running an online course in February - ideal for biology MSc/PhD students. Cost is £120, open to all, & fits around your schedule. Feel free to write me with any questions, full details here:

We show that despite low policy compliance, code- & data-sharing are much higher in journals WITH than WITHOUT a code-sharing policy 1. Code-sharing: 27% (policy) vs 5% (no policy) 2. Data-sharing: 79% (policy) vs 37% (no policy) 📰

Now our special issue on the relationship between @microevolution and @macroevolution is online @JEvBio! We hope that it marks the beginning of a new era of exciting discoveries. link to the issue: https://t.co/7tsZVhwrbO link to the editorial:

So good to have this one finally out! A massive effort by a very large group of authors to give a sort of view from space of the current ecosystem of niche modeling and distribution modeling software. I think this will be a really useful resource! https://t.co/rfHSv1GIuI

New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻‍♂️ @WelchLab_UTSC @RSocPublishing https://t.co/4H5dg7TsNK

OK folks, I want to share with you one of my best homebrew uses for LLMs in teaching. Here, I’ll show you how to make textbook-style notes for your students based on a transcript of your lecture and your PowerPoint. I’ve done this for the last year and the students love it. 1/16

Here comes the sun! Over Edinburgh.

A few of the #thylacine skins behind the scenes of @NHM_London. The adults have clearly never been on display - their coats are much darker than the taxidermy #thylacines we usually find in museum galleries, which have faded in the light; & the smallest known #taxidermy thylacine
