If you're local to Concepción, Chile, & you like #phylogenies, consider registering for this workshop we're offering at @USanSebastian sede Concepción. 👇.
Next week I'll be teaching in a workshop at @USanSebastian sede Concepción with @lukejharmon & hosted by Cristián Hernández Ulloa. I believe that enrollment is still open, so if you're local to Concepción, Chile, please check it out!

I'm not sure how, but I almost completely forgot I did this in #phytools even though it was only, like, two weeks ago: "A Pagel '94 type correlation model with one binary trait and one continuous character" using the discretized diffusion approximation (.

Should've been clearer that this was (unfortunately) only open to #evol2025 in-person meeting attendees -- and the book has already been won!.

Also posted to #evol2025 app social feed, but in case anyone's looking on here, I'd like to give away a copy of my book to a non-U.S./Canada grad student, since I know it can be harder to get outside N.A. Respond here or on the app want it! I'll pick the recipient at random. 🎲

I'm organizing an #Evol2025 meet-up run tomorrow (Sunday) at 6:15am. All ability levels & we'll do an out-and-back -- so no chance of getting lost. Meeting outside the Classic Center. Please email me if you want more details, or just show up!

Just boosting this & adding that the ticket is FREE for whoever gets it. 😅.
I mistakenly purchased an extra student ticket ("Meia-Entrada") for the Best of Blues & Rock festival in São Paulo, Sunday June 8th. If any Brazilian evolutionary biology student wants it, please email me by 12pm Wednesday! . I'll pick randomly from anyone who qualifies. 1/2

PS. My email address is very easy to find online, so I'm not posting it. PPS. This is what happens when you don't speak Portuguese!. 2/2.

This seems like a good postdoc with @MartBulla & Prague would be cool. More info: RT & share.

Amazing figure made with the help of #Rstats #phytools in "Adaptations to marine environments and the evolution of slow-paced life histories in endotherms" by Sol et al. in @NatureComms:
