For NSF GRFP proposals: does the chance of funding vary by directorate (e.g., BIO vs. SBE)? Iโm not asking conceptually about fit, but structurally -- do different directorates have different quotas or award numbers?

Fun news! @gcbias.bsky.social and I are teaching a 2-week online population genetics workshop this summer to raise money for the Center for Population Biology at UC Davis. We're trying to gauge interest -- please fill this out if you might be interested! And please share broadly!
We're excited to be recruiting an NSF funded postdoc to work in the Villanea lab at CU Boulder. We're specifically interested in candidates who want to work at the intersection of population genetics, ancient DNA, and computer modeling. Please RT

Interested in using aDNA time-series datasets to estimate selection?
Our study "Assessing Ancient DNA Sampling Strategies for Natural Selection Inference in Humans Using Allele Frequency Time Series Data" is now out in GBE! doi.org/10.1093/gbe/... @genomebiolevol.bsky.social @cegamorim.bsky.social
Really excited to see this paper out! We hope it will be a valuable resource for the paleogenomics community, especially given the recent surge in studies using aDNA to infer natural selection. Huge kudos to @anchieri.bsky.social for the outstanding work ๐

I havenโt watched it bc I donโt have Apple TV, but Iโve been super curious about Pluribus. Not sure if itโs good tho. I heard good things and the ratings on rotten tomato and IMDb are great. If you watch it, let me know what you think!
An overview shot of a portion of the collection: a long window box with wooden frames filled with glass models of plants carefully arranged and labeled on white backgrounds, as though part of a 3D herbarium. From this distance, they are indistinguishable from real plants.
Glass model of maple leaves, featuring blended molten glass that mimics the red hues of autumn foliage
A glass model of a Columbine (Aquilegia) with parsley-like leaves and pendulous, faintly red and yellow flowers that look like swans huddled together, necks touching and wings flared out.
Glass model of a Potentilla with almost ferny foliage and simple, open-faced yellow flowers with fuzzy centers.
Recently visited the Glass Flowers at Harvard, a collection of 4,300 extraordinarily realistic glass models of plants crafted by the Blaschkas, a father and son team of sculptors
Thatโs right, these are all made primarily of GLASS โ a fact difficult to accept given how accurate & lifelike they are

Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.
Any online, free teaching resources using the UCSC Genome Browser? ๐งฌ
Iโm preparing a class for seniors and MSc students from different fields of bio. Iโm looking for exercises that students can take on their own to explore the genome browser and learn about genomics.
