I study diversification, species delimitation, trait evolution & other macroevolutionary questions, often using new methods. Also random coding projects in my own time. I'm a college professor.
Views my own. Living in Oak Ridge, TN, USA.
I often follow interesting mastodon servers by following all their users (basically, merging several local feeds). Bonus is this helps new people get at least one follower (me) quickly.

I'm taking over for the wonderful Nina Fefferman as interim director of NIMBioS, the National Institute for Modeling Biological Systems. For 17 years NIMBioS has been at the forefront of mathematics-biology, modeling, team science, and more. Much of my work wouldn't have been possible without it, and that's true for hundreds of people.
Please reach out to me with ideas for its next phase!

We are recruiting new EvoAllies for the Evolution meetings as part of our SafeEvolution initiative. The goal of the program is to improve the climate at the meetings, making them more welcoming for everyone. It is not enforcement (we have a safety officer to investigate and sanctioning committee), but rather to help de-escalate situations, direct people to resources to help them, and to identify any problems.
Apply by June 7 at https://forms.gle/vwmupy6tuXqLijWUA
We are recruiting new EvoAllies for the Evolution meetings as part of our SafeEvolution initiative. The goal of the program is to improve the climate at the meetings, making them more welcoming for everyone. It is not enforcement (we have a safety officer to investigate and sanctioning committee to put in place any sanctions if warranted), but rather to help de-escalate situations, direct people to resources to help them, and to identify any problems. People who sign up and are selected must attend a two hour online training on June 11, at 11 am US Eastern time (3 pm UTC, 8 am US Pacific) by members of the UT CLIMBS team (https://socialactionrt.org/utclimbs) and members of the Code of Conduct Committee. We want to recruit people with a variety of life experiences, perspectives, and career stages. Our goal is to make people feel safe at the meeting; to that end, if you are facing or have faced questions about your possible misconduct, or have other reasons why your selection would be controversial, we ask that you do not sign up. Applications will be evaluated by a subset of members of the Code of Conduct Committee and current EvoAllies. Applications close June 7 at 5 pm US Eastern time; chosen applicants will be notified by June 10 at noon US Eastern time.
