Very happy to report that, after months of hard work, we’ve just heard that our study will be published in PNAS – a top science journal. Can’t tell you much about the article now – it is embargoed until published – but it is very very neat in my humble and biased opinion. We had a little mini-celebration with PNAS cake… Yum! 🙂
Hmmm, 40^3!

Caramel Crunch or Autozygosity with drift and mutation?
Last week was a bit of a milestone for me. It was the grande finale of my first course as a professor. I developed and taught a 4th year course on population genetics and I was fortunate to have a really great group of students. To celebrate, I delivered the final quiz of the term using the best and tastiest medium for disseminating higher knowledge – cake! The students had to explain the meaning of the equation inscribed on the cake (extra points were given for the complete derivation :)). [hint: it was called the mutation-drift cake !]
Thanks all!
