Excited to release a huge evolution project on the works for many years:
An experimental evolution project across climates to understand rapid adaptation

New paper from our #MOILAB at @OUPBioinfo from @LucCzech w/ long term collab @spence_jeffrey_
Lucas created a ⚡️speed C++ code for popgen analysis using Pool sequencing!

New @ClimateChangeAI blog post by @LucCzech, @bjornlutjens & @dwddao presenting ForestBench and talking about their efforts in technological innovation and community engagement for carbon data collection in the Global South. Read more: climatechange.ai/blog/2023-1…
Our new preprint is out!
grenedalf: population genetic statistics for the next generation of pool sequencing
Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2306.11622
GitHub: github.com/lczech/grenedalf
with @spence_jeffrey_ and @MExpositoAlonso
also to be presented at #evolution2023
Another episode of "have you ever fought with software X?"
Current tools for pool-seq in Evolve+Reseq data are too slow or have other problems (🧵)
@LucCzech wrote from scratch an easy to use C++ tool for pool-seq + comp popgen stats w @Spence_Jeffrey_
arxiv.org/abs/2306.11622
Getting ready for #evolution2023 #evol2023 - come find my talk, Friday 23rd, 4:30pm, Brazos/115:
"Population genetic statistics for the next generation of pool sequencing"
Also don't miss out on the other #moilab talks: @BellagioTatiana @ksmualim @leg2015 @LauraCLeventhal
Come join us at #evolution2023, with several hot topics from the #moilab
The #MOILAB will be at #evolution2023 presenting in diverse topics: experimental evolution and popgen, ecology and local adaptation, to conservation biology, and biogeography!

me: makes all figure in pdf form, so they are infinitely scaleable without loss of resolution
journal: please convert to tiff or eps, both of which look like garbage at the maximum allowed file size. Thanks!

So together with @eth @medialab @filecoingreen @bjornlutjens @LucCzech @WWF @fsc_if @SimplexDNA @GainForestNow @CeloOrg @frcamillerivera @DavaExplorer and many more, we build a system to reward local communities for data. End-to-end. And tested it out in Cagwait, Philippines 🇵🇭

All those new AI driven code suggestion tools are a great resource. However, I think a major task now will be to avoid that future programmers just blindly rely on these, as that will lead to replication (and probably self-reinforcement) of suboptimal code. (1/2)
Fun with phylogenetic placements! That's like taxonomic assignment, but with colors! ;-)

Finally a generation of young experts that can bring about the desperately needed change! Politics has been concerned with profits instead of solutions for far too long! @guadarivasr

Wide-ranging consequences of priority effects in ecological communities can be surprisingly simple to explain. Accepted @eLife manuscript led by Callie Chappell (@eco_genome) posted today, full online version to follow.

Excellent academic work meets creative mind: Our student Thomas Huber blew us away with this lyrical abstract of his thesis on neural climate models 😍
© All credits goes to our brilliant student Thomas Huber (co-supervised with my fav collaborators @LucCzech and @bjornlutjens) 🎓

Our paper "Genetic diversity loss in the Anthropocene" is out in @ScienceMagazine!
We study how genetic diversity is lost by habitat loss to help define @UNBiodiversity #Sustainable targets

It's worth spending some time discussing what this new @whitehouse Open Science policy does and doesn't do, and what is still be to determined. whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upd…

The postdoc labor shortage isn't a labor shortage, it's industry out-competing academia for good talent by offering higher wages.

Looking forward to interesting talks and posters in this beautiful location #PEQG22. Come stop by tonight for pop gen statistics with pool sequencing, poster 276W!
