October is Canadian Library Month! Libraries are absolutely awesome; I use them daily to support my scholarship, to read for pleasure, and much more.

Earlier this year I seized on a different excuse to write about libraries:
In love with the library
Warning: a little bit saccharine. Today is World Book Day, which is perhaps a flimsy excuse for me to rhapsodize about libraries. So as a second (and equally flimsy) excuse, let me mention that I’m…

ggplot2 4.0.0 is out and the new `paper`, `ink`, `accent` theme variables look super cool! Just pick 2-3 colors 🎨 to make your plots look great! I'm excited to hook this up to brand.yml 😉
A ggplot2 plot showing a classic `mpg` scatter plot. The code uses `theme_gray()` with `paper = "cornstalk"` for a light yellow background, `ink = "navy"` for navy blue text and points, and `accent = "tomato"` which is applied to the smoothing line created with `geom_smooth()`

With Jeff Barrick's return to #MSU, the #LTEE was restarted today after a short pause (frozen) for the move.

Today was daily transfer 12,301. With ~6.6 generations per day, they are now at ~82,007 generations.

100,000 generations is fast approaching! Are you ready, #Spartans?

Today, my @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social BIOL 2F03 course started our first labs with a canoe trip through Cootes Paradise to learn about the ecosystem. We saw egrets, ospreys, & great blue herons! The students had a blast & for some it was their first time canoeing!

I found this history fascinating, especially how the US under Bush I a) pushed to create the IPCC to center government representatives, not scientists, in UN climate action; b) used the IPCC to block binding emission targets and carbon taxes on rich countries, which seemed imminent in 1988.

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”

Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Beatriz Vicoso: Artemia brine shrimp have complete dosage compensation of their Z chromosome. She proposes that they're using a system similar to MSL for Drosophila X. Cool contrast to e.g. birds, whose ZW are doing something different entirely. academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

Abstract. The males and females of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana are highly dimorphic, and this dimorphism is associated with substantial sex-biased

OK, I've not yet managed to attend an #ESEB conference, but this looks really intriguing. Can the "hub" model reduce environmental impact of conferences, but still be vital and interactive? We should be trying out lots of things!

There are several recent papers which could fall under the heading ‘Economic History of the Scientific Revolution’ but this network analysis tracing how scientific ideas diffused amongst scholars in the period 1084-1793 is a real milestone, an ‘epidemiological’ model of how ideas spread like disease

Hey #ESEB2025 folk! I'll be presenting my work on describing evolution in finite populations at 11:30 am on Tuesday in S-03. Drop by to learn how taking ecology and variable population size seriously changes classic pop gen descriptions like the Price eqn, revealing novel directional eco-evo forces.
