Derek Lowe's "unapologetically angry post about what’s being done to US science" deserves to be shared here:

"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."

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.)
