New preprint out with @echinerd et al. on total-evidence dating showcasing:. 1) Sea urchins (the best clade).2) Lyrics by Peter Gabriel-era Genesis (the best prog band).3) Extreme effects of the type of relaxed clock on phylogenetic and macroevolutionary inferences (a bit scary).
But the clock, tick-tock: the preeminence of relaxed clock models in total-evidence dated phylogenetics #biorxiv_evobio.

Proud of having contributed to shedding new light on the lives of the largest arthropods that ever walked on land.
New research offers a more complete view of Arthropleura’s background, opening the door to answering remaining questions about the arthropod’s diet and habitat. Learn more in this week’s issue of Science Advances:

I was offered a chance to write a piece about returning to Argentina in the midst of the destruction of its scientific system. Here it is.
Opinion: The Fulbright Commission’s insistence that fellows return home is senseless in a country dismantling its science base, says Nicolas Mongiardino Koch.
