$340K in new funding awarded to #ANUexperts battling #COVID19   With support from Biohub Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Dr Minh Bui's #OpenSource software IQ-TREE contributed directly to the development of the COVID-19 vaccines. cecs.anu.edu.au/news/czi-award…

I have news. I'm so excited. We're hiring! The ecology and evolutionary biology department UC Santa Cruz are recruiting an evolutionary biologist (broadly defined). More info here: recruit.ucsc.edu/JPF01140 or DM me!

Our new paper estimating male and female generation times across the past 10,000 generations of human history is up! Project led by the amazing Richard Wang (with Samer Al-Saffar and Jeff Rogers). A brief thread: 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Extraordinary research by #ANUExperts to conquer viruses, cancer and malaria has been backed by almost $12 million in the latest round of NHMRC funding. Congratulations to these remarkable researchers!👏 📖 Learn more about their outstanding work: anu.edu.au/news/all-news/…

I am honored and quite surprised to be joining the group of HHMI Investigators.

📌 Matplotlib, DeepLabCut 🦄, NumPy & ApacheArrow are a few of the #OpenSource tools that are widely used in biomedicine. 📌 Meet the creators + maintainers who are ensuring these tools are accessible to scientists across the globe czi.co/3hJ3FRn

If you want to get involved with ABACBS, nominations are open for positions on the 2022 National Executive Committee. Elections happening at our AGM next month. I highly recommend it to anyone who is passionate about developing our community #bioinformatics

Our newest funding opportunity seeks to address computational challenges and bottlenecks in #SingleCell biology by advancing tools and resources for analyzing datasets that make it possible to gain greater insights into health + disease bit.ly/3Ba6faQ

Want to learn about “phylogenomics" but don’t know where to start? A new Primer in Current Biology, by David Duchene, gives a short intro to phylogenomic data, sources of error, and gene-tree discordance. It includes suggestions for further reading. cell.com/current-biolog…

Job alert! There's three jobs at various levels here in Oregon - want to do quantitative work in a supportive, interdisciplinary environment? And/or teach? In lovely Oregon? Read on...

@RobLanfear Bui Quang Minh et al made being scooped a pleasure; I look forward to more collaboration. They know inference and we supposedly know proteins. Here are the departures from detailed balance. We can't figure out what these net fluxes mean but Hanon McShea made them pretty! 2/3

It’s fabulous to see so many strong and engaging phylogenetics talks this year at #COMBINE21! Perhaps this has something to do with our combined conference with Phylomania 🤗

Dr Minh Bui's software for inferring phylogenetic trees has contributed directly the identification of #COVID19 variants & the development of vaccines, earning him a spot on the 2021 list of Highly Cited Researchers. 🔗 cecs.anu.edu.au/news/cecs-acad…

1️⃣ Mikaela Jade named Indigenous Leader of the Year 2️⃣ Minh Bui listed among world’s most ‘Highly Cited Researchers’ 3️⃣ Hanna Kurniawati developing robot co-pilots for safer helicopter rescue, & MORE! 🔗cecs.anu.edu.au/news/good-news… @ANUcybernetics ANU School of Computing @profNickANU

I am extremely happy & proud & honored having been awarded an ERC Starting Grant! European Research Council (ERC) A big thanks to my longtime collaborators and friends who have helped and supported me to achieve this.

After two long years we are finally back! The #MolEvol2022 workshop is starting tonight with both new- and old-comers. So happy to be here, but missing Mark T. Holder

A few months ago we posted a pre-print regarding a new approach to likelihood-based phylogenetics at short divergence scales (e.g. genomic epidemiology). I have now further optimized the code and updated the preprint doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…

Why does ARC ask reviewers to submit 3500 characters long review? It's asking too much from a reviewer, given that we voluntarily do this.

Our new study led by brilliant PhD student Kelsey Williamson (along with many wonderful collaborators), resolves the root of the Eukaryote Tree of Life 🌍🧬 with unmatched precision! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
