@deboraycb.bsky.social, @aidaandres.bsky.social, Tim Connallon & @maxreuter.bsky.social support the intuition that a large fraction of loci under balancing selection will be invisible to standard tests for balancing selection.

Thank you!! I’m so glad to publish it in MBE. It’s my first time publishing in MBE as a first author and SMBE is my favourite society :)

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Now that it's officially out, I have to say I'm quite proud of this work🙂 I got involved in it after a bit of a failure in another proj. Took way longer than it could. Started pregnant, published close to baby's 3rd bday😅 Very grateful for my patient mentors and collaborators

@prof-tregoning.bsky.social argues that scientific paper format does not reflect how we do science:

🤥are we telling a false story?
💡are we dismissing the central role of creativity in science?

What do you think? Let us know in the comments...
