I'm pretty pleased to see that the main paper from my PhD investigating the angiosperm evolutionary timescale made it into the top 10 high impact papers in @systbiol for 2016 and 2017! academic.oup.com/sysbio/page…
Nice way to finish the year. Plenty of virome work to come next year with @KiWookKim816 and the crew 🕵🏻♂️🦠

Well done, @drlok! Nice review article here about Omicron, capably led by Lok, that I was able to contribute to.

My views on recent VF article % famous "deleted sequences" study by @jbloom_lab:
Neat sleuth work. But mostly ‘stolen valor’ & unsupported accusations of malfeasance, laundered by a compromised peer review process. Allow me to explain. 1/103

Australians want our wildlife looked after. This requires urgent action for a number of species on the brink.
Prioritising conservation and taking seriously the EPBC Act Review are critical first steps.

You mean to tell me the man who went on a holiday as the entire country burned in extraordinary bushfires, whose government put aside $5 billion for disaster relief, which still, years later, has not been spent––gave no relief––is within the margin of error to win the election?
After a long journey, I'm happy that I can finally share the culmination of my previous postdoc position at @SydneySOLES with @Camilla_Whitt: Different genes are recruited during convergent evolution of pregnancy and the placenta academic.oup.com/mbe/advance… 🧵
Thanks to the co-authors who put in hard work to make this project possible: @JamesUVanDyke, Mike Thompson (viviparity stalwart), Nicholas Smith (UQ), @SharkColin, Christopher Murphy (USYD), and @Camilla_Whitt 8/
Finally: here's a companion piece that myself, James, and Camilla put together for @ConversationEDU, with some very helpful editorial input from @MmichaelLlucy: theconversation.com/theres-m… 9/9
