Bodega 2017

Posted on 17 March 2017 by bob — No Comments ↓

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.

The Bodega Cycle

Coffee and an absurdly nice sunrise

Lecture and practicals all day.

Brief pause for bourbon and beautiful sunset.

Analyze all night. (…rinse repeat).
