What should the early lines of code written during a new outbreak look like? We've got a new viewpoint piece in Lancet Digital Health on how to improve early outbreak analytics, with a great group of contributors: linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii...

Non-homogenic lineage diversification models are the way to go, and Tianjian is taking a first step towards more realistic diversification models like those. Great read!

Impact of evolutionary relatedness on species diversification and tree shape
Slowdowns in lineage accumulation are often observed in phylogenies of extant species. One explanation is the presence of ecological limits to diversi…
