Delighted to see our paper characterising the inbreeding history of dogs and wolves over the past 10,000 years published this week in @pnas.org. Work led by the excellent @katiabou.bsky.social, and co-supervised by me, Laurent Frantz and Fernando Racimo www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

(A) Genomic inbreeding coefficient (FROH) of imputed and modern dogs plotted as a function of time, calculated based on ROH. Imputed samples are colored based on their geographic grouping, while modern samples are colored in gray. A loess regression was applied with each colored shaded area depicting the SE. (B) Total number of ROH segments plotted against total ROH length for the imputed dogs. Colors correspond to age of imputed samples in years before present (ybp)., while modern samples belonging to each dog group are colored in gray. (C) Map of imputed dog samples colored by their inbreeding coefficient (FROH). Samples with FROH values above 0.1 are indicated.

Only half of UKRI's future budget going to curiosity-driven research could sound worrying to some, but it's not actually a change of tack

Back in June, Patrick Vallance said that's how UKRI's budget already breaks down

What's different is limiting the non-curiosity-driven part to named priorities

What's that? You didn't know boxfish made sound? Me neither...

It turns out all species (Atlantic & Pacific) do, yet little is known about how this evolved. A novel structure found only in the Atlantic species offered the answer, but it isn't quite what you think...🌍 🧪

Headed back to #TTRPG night at the Blue Moon pub in Cambridge, after 3 weeks in hospital and time off for recovery. Exciting to get gaming again! Running #DeltaGreen epic scenario "Artifact Zero", which if you know it, is super weird and challenging.

📖 Exciting reading for today, the anniversary of the publication of On The Origin Of Species:

The Darwin Online project has just released Darwin's address book, filled with unique insights not found anywhere else. It has been transcribed and is now readable at the link below!

For my (fellow) American friends: an old #JohnsFreezer blog post (from the glory days) with fun facts about turkey anatomy. Happy Thanksgiving-to-come!

(image has "graphic media" label because it shows a turkey dissection; nothing worse than that)

Have an Anatomically Awesome Thanksgiving!

Hey, Americans and others happening to be gobbling down Meleagris gallopavo today– don’t forget to practice your anatomy! Such a great opportunity. Dig in to that carcass and horrify/am…

Today is National/World Walrus Day! These semi-aquatic mammals, which are a type of seal, share similar bones with humans. Their specialized forelimbs have evolved for swimming.

"Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters" (Prime)- excellent documentary, heavily featuring Mignola (& his brothers & wife) & other key figures in his career incl. Del Toro & Perlman. From childhood to struggling comic artist, to rise of Hellboy & its huge success, the movies & "Mignolaverse". Enthralling.

It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

A new feature on Elon Musk’s X has given deeper insight into the online “America First” movement.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

"Rainbow: In their own words" (Prime)- 2006 documentary on the rise (and troubles) of the underappreciated, influential metal band Rainbow from the 1970s onwards. Album-by-album reviews by critics (many of them longtime Rainbow fans, or even band members) & live concert footage. I learned a lot.

A new #PhD opportunity supervised by @drmambobob.bsky.social and me at the @uniofreading.bsky.social on dragonfly and damselfly evolution!

It is competition funded through the CROCUS partnership, and involves a mix of palaeontology and comparative biology.

During filming of the Rancor sequence for "Return of the Jedi", Tippett and the ILM crew had some fun pitting the beast against their earlier creation, Vermithrax from "Dragonslayer" (a good film that still should hold up as having good effects).

Rancor fighting Vermithrax dragon. It has two hands wrapped around the dragon's neck, and the dragon has its mouth wide, starting to spread its wings.

"Queen - On Fire: Live at the Bowl" (Prime) full-length concert video, 100 minutes, from 1982 show in Milton Keynes. Incredible performance by the band at their (lengthy) peak. Crowd is going bananas. I would too if I'd have been there. Youngster 1982 John already loved Queen. Still do!
