Congratulations to Brad Nelson, who recently became the first Master's graduate from the Brown Phyleaux lab. Brad's thesis includes two very nice chapters on improving Bayesian branch-length inference by using informed priors and applying posterior predictive approaches to assess the reliability of an inferred squamate phylogeny.

During the Fall 2012 semester, I will be combining last semester's phylogenetics reading group with the departmental molecular evolution seminar (BIOL 7946). We will meet on Tuesdays from 12-1 in LSB 248 (my lab). Feel free to bring your lunch with you. We will post papers and share comments using a Mendeley group. If you do not already have a free Mendeley account, please sign up for one.
