Is your research described by one of these: #popgen, evol. #genomics/#epigenetics, #life-histories, #biotic interactions, eco-evolutionary dynamics, long-term #field studies, #anthropology?

Come and make us stronger! Full #professorship at Uni #Mainz. Lots of recent turnover has happened here with fantastic young faculty, we have a lot of exciting plans for the future!

Ever heard of Gutenberg workshops? Perhaps not but it's a beautiful location and should unisexual reproduction be of interest, do look at what we will organize 11-13 July in Ingelheim, which is a pretty old town near Mainz, which in turn is close to Frankfurt (thus easy to get to).

Since the info about registration costs is a bit hidden, I put it right here: 200€ for PhD students, 250 for postdoc onwards. Don't hesitate, the deadline for registering is May 18!

A new #PhilTransB theme issue marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of the article that described evolutionary game theory, now an indispensable part of modern evolutionary theory. Edited by Xiang-Yi Li Richter and Jussi Lehtonen. Read: http://bit.ly/PTB1876

Visited a city where I spent some time in childhood, cousin (who visited during that time back then) was with me. Observation: a tram from back then can now be ridden as a museum experience. Now we're debating if this implies we too belong in a museum.

I've heard that "find yourself in #Pisa? Take a photo of the thing that's meant to be vertical but isn't" is part of the human behaviour repertoire. I didn't want to break the norm.

Coding something, some of my subscripts are letters and some are numbers, suddenly I need two versions of each, using lowercase and uppercase to denote a small difference...

...and I cannot do this. Why don't numbers come in lowercase and uppercase?

I never thought of this before.

It’s very funny to me that the dominant Twentieth Century conception of AI was a slightly awkward nerd with an inhuman mastery of facts and logic, when what we actually got is smooth-talking bullshit artists who can’t do eighth-grade math.
