New paper from Richard Wang, Samer Al-Saffar, Jeff Rogers, and me!

Tracked down original article: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/cambridge-archaeological-journal/article/an-upper-palaeolithic-protowriting-system-and-phenological-calendar/6F2AD8A705888F2226FE857840B4FE19
super cool that it was decoded by amateur who lined up parturition dates of animals depicted in cave paintings.

A question that stems from my almost-complete ignorance of the academic humanities:

How much difference is there in being (say) an English professor at an R1 versus R2 university in the US? Different teaching loads? Book expectations?

Anyone have any insight?

New paper by postdoc Megan Smith: GANs for phylogenetic inference!

My first post! And of course it's an advertisement for our new software package, CAGEE:

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.18.517074v1

Our new software is out!

"Here, we present a new software package (CAGEE) for inferring patterns of increases and decreases in gene expression across a phylogenetic tree, as well as the rate at which these changes occur. In contrast to previous methods that treat each gene independently, CAGEE can calculate genome-wide rates of gene expression, along with ancestral states for each gene."
