🎦 I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chris Perrins lately. He has been a monumental figure within avian ecology for nearly 70 years. He is also a very nice and pleasant person. So, I sat down and chatted to him about his life in science. Here is the result. ⬇️

#Snakemake 9.21.1 has been released with lots of bug fixes. In addition, we had several more releases in the past 2 months with improvements for between workflow caching, profile handling, and semantic helper functions. And there is more in the pipeline!

Both @nilomr.bsky.social & @andreaestandia.bsky.social have a superb eye for design of data visualisation coupled with cutting-edge bioinformatic, ML & Bayesian statistical analysis - have a look at their new company website

After nearly 7 years in Oxford and 10 abroad, it’s time to head back home to Northern Spain 🌊🏔️🌳
Thanks @sheldonbirds.bsky.social for organising the leaving party and for all the good times over the years!
But this isn’t quite goodbye yet! I’ll still be working with Ben on genomics and stuff 🧬🐣🦋

Read ‘Genetic parallelism underpins convergent mimicry coloration in Lepidoptera across 120 million years of evolution' from @york.ac.uk @sangerinstitute.bsky.social @joanameier.bsky.social, et al., in @plosbiology.org ⤵️

A few summers ago, we individually reared 1200 wood tiger moth caterpillars with the aim to understand the associations and genetic basis of different traits; colour, chemical defences, behaviour, pheromones and more. The results are here!
Excited to share the first chapter of my PhD thesis as a preprint! We investigated the genomic consequences of secondary contact between passerines on a remote oceanic island, finding evidence of three-way hybridisation and spooky “ghost introgression” 🏝️🪶🧬

A fun use of our open-access bird song data: helping argue that the results of a widely publicised study on individually specific, name-like calls in African elephants may instead reflect spuriously learned structure in the acoustic data.

Many of my group round for dinner last night on a beautiful evening to wish @andreaestandia.bsky.social & @nilomr.bsky.social well as they move back to Spain. Both of them did DPhils here then postdocs & brought so much to Oxford & @egioxford.bsky.social in terms of science, culture & friendship
Data science, machine learning, and interactive visualization studio. Oxford-based researchers turn complex data into compelling insight. Remote & worldwide.
