You could contact GSAC and see if they want to host them at the student table www.evolutionsociety.org/content/stud...

Few entry level jobs, no one qualified for them, “AI is as good as an intern” so we’re not training them - it’s going to be a collision.

I had a faculty member in my department make an account over here to do that.
Hope they’re well.

And there’s room here for faculty to advocate for their postdocs to their research infrastructure. Maybe you don’t need to allow postdocs to be PIs Willy-Nilly, but a mentored grant experience would be a big sell for a lot of pdocs

Mike’s instructions are good for the site. The app has more sophisticated calendar integration. You should have an email from yesterday titled “Virtual Evolution and the app” with install instructions

When they see live-streamed content that was watched on average 12 seconds, yeah, societies will question the value of paying through the nose to do live streaming and virtual.
Want that content? Consume it actively!

My advice to anyone who wants more robust virtual meetings:
Volunteer to organize a virtual event.
Host a virtual watch party in your lab. Show people VM can be fun and social!
Actually attend and watch your society’s content. Societies are looking at attendance, watch time on YouTube, etc.

However, there is still significant resistance to virtual meetings. We did a survey recently about doing a virtual year. You can see the results in our FAQ item on virtual meetings here: www.evolutionmeetings.org/general-info...

I already updated the code in my GitHub repo. Readability? Not guaranteed. It would all be old hat to the Foote crew anyhow…

Weird branch length thing - turned out I had accidentally turned off samples ancestors globally and it pushed all my divergences super deep

The first time my kids ever saw beavers, we were up on a cliff face looking waaaay down at the beavers building their dam. And my daughter caught on first and was like “Mom…how big are those if we can see them so well up here???”

This must be how people feel seeing beavers for the first time
