Haven’t used it myself yet but seconding the calibre recommendation based on research I did while belatedly shifting into reading ebooks on a kobo: calibre-ebook.com
calibre - E-book management
calibre: The one stop solution for all your e-book needs. Comprehensive e-book software.

I taught with these materials after mutation and before selection and gene flow. Many of my intro bio students now say "... well drift is happening all the time" in response to being asked about how evolution might be acting in various scenarios. 💖

We put together slides for three short lectures and created six activities, including data from scientific papers, simulations, Queer theory, and a poem! We aimed for the intro bio level, but I'm sure these can be adapted for upper level too.

Undergrad students often forget about genetic drift as an evolutionary process/ force. If you've also experienced this, we might have a solution for you! Our RIE2 (resources for inclusive evolution education) working group just published a week-length drift module: qubeshub.org/publications...

The way I have been thinking about it (in single cell amoebas for context) is mother to daughter cell is vertical, one individual to another is horizontal. I lean toward one individual to another as horizontal regardless of genotype too.

Suegene Noh @suegenenoh.bsky.social · Jan 8
Maybe sexual transmission? Since it’s specifically in the context of sex. Otherwise I’d lean vertical.

OK folks, I want to share with you my best homebrew use case for LLMs in teaching. Here, I’ll show you how to make detailed, textbook-style notes for your students based on a transcript of your lecture and your PowerPoint. I’ve done this for the last 2 semesters and the students love it. 1/16
