Go team!!!
Ooo such a hard one! I'll never say no to a good quality Scottish Breakfast or a well-steeped jasmine though 🍵🫖
Definitely a good read!

A new paper I'm on is out today! Led by Stanley Somogyi, we suggest that ancestrally variable characters stabilized independently in different bird lineages, causing distantly related groups to retain similar traits and creating headaches for bird systematists. www.cell.com/current-biol... 🪶🧪
Stable ecology jobs are few and far between at the moment, but the team I'm on is actually hiring!
Come coordinate the third Ohio Bird Atlas! This'll be a 5+ year role, based at Ohio State. Bachelor's degree required (Master's preferred).
Please share!

🧵 New paper! We’re excited to release OPTICS: software that immediately predicts color sensitivity from any opsin protein sequence.
In other words: give OPTICS any opsin sequence, and it predicts the wavelength of light the pigment is most sensitive to 🌈👁️ academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-...

Abstract. Predicting phenotypes from genetic variation is a central challenge in biology. Here, machine learning (ML) offers great promise, but its use is
