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!
Might have actual nightmares about Matthew Broderick doing a Jonathan Pruitt by like asking a bot to “do the spreadsheet”

I don't know. You seemed to care enough to propose a correlation and provide some (admittedly anecdotal) evidence for it.
Dude, this is Berkson's paradox.
"We welcome PhDs to a round table table discussion from assistant professors who were recently on the job market"
Agreed. I don't recommend learning trigonometry solely from that video.
