Statistical Rethinking 2026 is done: 20 new lectures emphasizing logical and critical statistical workflow, from basics of probability theory to causal inference to reliable computation to sensitivity. It's all free, made just for you. Lecture list and links: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

David Marques was an amazing speciation genomics researcher, a passionate birder, and a wonderful friend, husband, and father. May he rest in peace. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Follow up to our work on eco-evolutionary dynamics of host parasite systems in complex landscapes up in Evolution @journal-evo.bsky.social. This work was done during Ruthvik's Erasmus M1 project @ruthvikpsi.bsky.social with me and @efronhofer.bsky.social. academic.oup.com/evolut/artic...

#FemmesEnScience 🎉 Fierté pour l'UM!

I'm teaching Statistical Rethinking again starting Jan 2026. This time with live lectures, divided into Beginner and Experienced sections. Will be a lot more work for me, but I hope much better for students. I will record lectures & all will be found at this link: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

Finally getting off the other site and reengaging with social media. Please follow and suggest good folks to follow on here!

🌎 Experiments are central to understanding community dynamics, yet their use is declining. We're trying to understand why. If you work in community ecology, we'd really appreciate your input in a quick survey (<5 mins). 👉🏼 link.webropolsurveys.com/S/2022629791... Reposts welcome!

It took decades for the work of Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi—the winners of this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology—to have clinical relevance. That and more of the best in @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

I was recently invited by a cool student initiative from IISER in India @fishersfishes.bsky.social (fishersfishes.github.io) to talk about networks. I conveyed to undergraduates my ideas for how ecology, evolution and their interplay should be understood in light of biological system properties.

🌡️ Rares voire rarissimes en France au XXe siècle, les températures dépassant localement les 40 degrés sont devenues fréquentes depuis l’an 2000. Voici une carte animée localisant chaque année où les stations de Météo-France ont relevé ou dépassé 40 degrés (données au 17 août).

"The myth of meritocracy in science collapses under the financial sacrifices expected at every career stage. From unpaid internships and self-funded conferences to underpaid positions, these hidden costs disproportionately exclude those without generational wealth, compounded by race and gender."

@cnrsecologie.bsky.social regrette profondément l'adoption de cette loi à la vision court-termiste & ses conséquences graves sur l’environnement, qui méprise santé & bien-être de la population & le rôle des espèces sauvages dans la prod. agricole. La communauté scientifique n'a pas été entendue.

The two pictures are 11 years apart. On 10 May 1933 the Nazi party staged ideological spectacle of burning of 'un-German’ books. 2nd image: Auschwitz II-Birkenau, burning pits outside gas chamber V, 1944. #Auschwitz warns us of where ideologies of hatred can lead to.

Straight up racism and misogyny. Let us never forget, their issue with DEI WAS NEVER ABOUT MERIT.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Glad that the first thing that I share on here is our (@efronhofer.bsky.social , Vasilis Dakos and Oliver Kaltz) work from my PhD thesis at @isemevol.bsky.social on host parasite eco-evolution in spatial networks out now in Evolution Letters @evolletters.bsky.social ! doi.org/10.1093/evle...
