  Thoughts on traveling by train to 2 international conferences a bit far: Lausanne - Glasgow for #EED2026, 13h of train to, a bit more with a night train fro. Lausanne - Copenhagen for #SMBE2026, 22h each way including a night train. #NoFlyEED #NoFlySMBE #NoFlyAcademics

  "we should start to stigmatise X usage for what it really is: a small and selfish part in making the world measurably worse. You are not special. You are not immune to fake news, delusion, anti-reality. You do not have a unique ability to maintain your critical faculties in an ecosystem where everyone else is losing theirs." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/may/28/still-on-x-ask-yourself-why-platform-twitter-malign-actors-misinformation

  Interesting study of the performance of phylogenetic models for gene expression evolution, although they seem to have only investigated single-optimum OU models, which IMO limits conclusions on datasets with orthologs and paralogs. (Indeed they find poor performance for our 2016 dataset testing the ortholog conjucture.) https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.09.527893v2 #phylogeny #GeneExpression #MolecularEvolution #bioinformatics #phylogenetics
