I've always been impressed with @carpentries.carpentries.org and it is great to see their integrity in standing up for their principles, even when there are significant costs to doing so.👏

Super impressed by the integrity shown by this NGO. May we all have similar courage to stand up for our principles when pushed against a wall by this admin.

The new era of global bird phylogenies begins – this one built over several years by @snacktavish.bsky.social and team massively increases sample size and will be a fantastic resource for macroevolution and macroecology. 🪶 🌐 🧪

‘The Tree of All Birds’ is an excellent name for a medieval fable. But also an extraordinary accomplishment in evolutionary mapping and visualisation for around 11,000 bird species. 🧪🦅🦆🦜🦢🦉🐓🦩🐦⬛🦚
We made a tree of all birds! Preprint is up, comments are welcome.

We did a fun live phylogeny guessing game in evolution today! What's an animal more closely related to manatee than it is to human or cat? Students yelled out ideas, and we added them to the tree as we went! labs.minutelabs.io/Tree-of-Life...
