Hi all. I am very excited that after 6 years I finally got my phylogenetic comparative methods book and online exercises online. Feel free to use and share. The book is here: nhcooper123.github.io/pcm-primer/. Note that it is not finished, we had to abandon it before the sunk costs fallacy broke us
I’m in idiot for wading into this, but I can say in my experience that there’s more democratic-socialist discussion about climate, and certainly about Gaza, on X now than on BlueSky, which trends straight liberal.
And it’s not true that climate content is always being suppressed over there.

💢 THREAD: Iranians form human chains around power plants and bridges as Trump warns “a whole civilization will die tonight”

Children in Gaza are increasingly being bitten by rats as Israel continues to deny displaced families proper shelter under the ongoing blockade. Medical workers report bites on bodies & faces, with overcrowding & collapsing sanitation worsening conditions and leaving children especially vulnerable.
🚨new paper alert🚨
In this review paper including an international team mixing geologists, biologists, and paleontologists, we synthesize current approaches for integrating paleoclimate and paleogeographic data into macroevolutionary models.

I got over my skis on that one, but I think it's at least arguable. Despite people's exaggerations here, Musk's algorithm tweaks have not *completely* suppressed left voices over there. There are still lots! In aggregate it would be better if there were more (though, y'know, I'm not volunteering).
US Israel have bombed Iran universities, one by one, including where Maryam Mirzakhani won the Fields medal, the first women to do so.
Terrorists of humanity. Silence or thinking this means freedom is complicity and idiocy!
