caroline polachek also on the same wavelength, too for "Blood and Butter"

So! Evolutionary biologists: be careful using hybridization summary statistics if you have substitution rate variation across lineages, and consider using methods that do not assume constant substitution rates. (4/4)

We also found the power to detect hybridization events decreased when there were more hybridizations, for all three tests. So it seems that hybridization events can "hide" each another if they occur within a small subset of taxa. (3/4)

Variation of rates between lineages had the largest impact on false discovery of reticulation (type-1 error) across all three methods. D3 was the most sensitive with ~80% type-1 error. (2/4)

oh my god I feel like a wuss with my careful 5am oatmeal and banana

Why in the world are we still charging people to apply to grad school??? That is the biggest diversity barrier to applying to grad school... $50-$75 bucks/school might be nothing to privileged applicants, but it adds up fast if you are anything but. This should be fixed. It's an easy fix.

I regret to inform you I have fallen hook line and sinker for this cosplay of a song and it is catchy
