@SpeciationLab @jrossibarra @gcbias @jby mine tried to force feed me a whole kiwi today. I feel like we're on track.
@JadeMasterMath I saw a talk earlier this fall from someone working on this type of stuff. Lots of differential equations and then simplifying assumptions to get some intuition about what was happening.
Being an academic parent is like "Hey does your daycare have oppenings in one year" "Yes, can you come tour Tuesday mornings" "I teach that day" "How about Thursday mornings?" "I also teach that day" "Wednesday morning?" "Yes, but this Wednesday I'm on a seminar visit..." and so on until the daycare no longer has openings. Repeat.

Seeing so many UC professors openly support the strike is truly amazing, very different from when UofT grad students went on strike during my PhD. My hunch is that Twitter has helped build connections between profs & students, make everyone more aware of student struggles.
@jstinchcombe Fair, I guess that is a lot of data to assemble. Congrats to you and Georgia!!!
@jstinchcombe how often does selection in a common garden experiment match btw pop divergence? Seems like a meta analysis someone should have done, right?
