This fall, Jeremy Brown and I will be offering a short course in Phylogenomics in Valencia, Spain. Registration is open now. More information is available here.
Short Course in Phylogenomics (Valencia, Spain)
University of Hawaii Phylogenetics and Math Symposium
Ahead of next weekend’s AMS sectional meeting in Honolulu, Elizabeth Gross (UH Math), Sean Harrington, and I have organized a special symposium/discussion on the intersection of mathematics and phylogeny which will take place here on the UH campus Thursday March 21. It features talks from several mathematicians focusing on phylogenetic issues, as well as phylogeneticists that are interested in math. Please visit the symposium website for more information, all are welcome to join.
“I have deeply regretted that I did not proceed far enough at least to understand something of the great leading principles of mathematics, for […those…] endowed seem to have an extra sense.” – CRD

Book review for Thomson et al. 2016
The first review of the California Herp book has now been published in the Society for Study of Amphibians and Reptiles journal Herpetological Review. You can check it out here.
Bodega 2017
I’ve been spending the week teaching in the Bodega Marine Lab for the 2017 Workshop in Applied Phylogenetics. It’s been a fun week of statistics, phylogenies, data analysis, and beautiful weather. This year, Jeremy Brown (@jembrown) and I put together a new day long session focusing on model selection, model performance, and the challenges of big data in phylogenetics. My slides are available over at treethinkers.org.

Lecture and practicals all day.
Brief pause for bourbon and a beautiful sunset.
