Since the beginning of lockdown, @BaylaArt and I have been collecting bird carcasses from window strikes at @Yale SOM, which was unthinkingly designed to be one of the world's most effective bird killing architectural mistakes.
UNIVERSITY | As birds complete their biannual migration patterns, many find themselves running into an unexpected obstacle: the 130,000-square-foot glass walls of the School of Management’s Evans Hall. bit.ly/3kIcmv2
My partner @BaylaArt is an amazing scientific illustrator, but she doesn't use Tw much (even though I told her that this is where all the science is!). Think yall could RT to help her out? And maybe keep her in mind for all the quarantine papers your working on?

Earthworm people, a question: Are introduced worms in glaciated regions artificially subsidizing populations of critters like garter snakes and woodcock? This question has been bugging me since 2008.

Phylo folks, a Q: I want to get marginal R^2 for the factors in this PGLS: m1=pgls(y~a+b+c, comp_data). I'd take m1$r.squared and subtract the r.squared of m2=pgls(y~a+b) to get marginal R2 of c, right? Set lambda, delta, & kappa to 1 to make sure tree is same for all models too?

For the third straight year I won our fantasy football regular season and scored the most points. For the third straight year I finished third in the playoffs. This has taught me more about the importance of probability and confidence intervals than any statistics course could

Very excited to see our paper finally out in print! We found robust support for the notion of ecoregions as key units of biodiversity not only for plants, but also for vertebrates, invertebrates, and fungi! nature.com/articles/s41559-0…
