Is the “Connecticut” a reflection of a southward drag from living in New Jersey and Virginia, or did my Connie mother really pass on that much?

Dunno about you, but I'd watch ralph fiennes fight to defend the MRCA or listen to tom brokaw narrate the site frequency spectrum.
I might be late to the party, but one of my summer readings has been "Project Hail Mary". I've enjoyed it, but I've had some trouble suspending disbelief (1/n)
"El mal entès" de @mariusserra.bsky.social acabat! Tot un gira-pàgines, que dirien en anglès. Si Joan Ferrer és John Smith, un qualsevol, si calgués identificar el seu cadàver s'hauria dit Joan Dou?

Potser arribo tard a la festa, però una de les meves lectures d'estiu ha estat "Project Hail Mary". Com a la @biblosfera.eurosky.social, m'ha agradat: una aventura francament entretinguda. Però la suspensió de la incredulitat m'ha costat (1/n)

Una escena de la novel·la "El mal entès", de @mariusserra.bsky.social, ha disparat el meu ofici de genetista de poblacions. La segona mala notícia que rep el protagonista només pot passar amb una probabilitat del 3%. Ja és mala sort!

Trobo que que et caigui bé el Papa perquè és baralla amb en Trump és una mica com anar amb Espanya perquè hi ha jugadors catalans

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.
Absolutely thrilled to see our work featured on the cover of @nature.com, with the stunning artwork of Emiliano Bellini! Deeply grateful to all collaborators, the Indigenous communities who made this work possible, and the funding agencies for their support!
🚨 Check out our new paper in Nature! In our new study, we sequenced 128 high-coverage genomes from Indigenous peoples across Latin America and uncovered their unique genetic diversity and history. 👇🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Es pot tenir una societat d’individus amb sentit crític sense coneixements científics? La ciència, la filosofia i, en particular, la teoria de l’evolució són puntals necessaris que s’han de reforçar, no debilitar, en el sistema educatiu. @ara.cat @ibe-barcelona.bsky.social
This project (with Stacy Rosenbaum and Nick Grebe) began in the dark days of Covid, and is finally ready to share. We've built a living database of primate paternity data (52 species, 3000 paternities) and completed first wave of analyses of paternity distribution. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
