Dear colleagues, Transmitting Science is offering a new edition of the live online course "Dive Deep into Probabilistic Phylogenetic Comparative Methods". Course webpage: https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/evolution/introduction-to-probabilistic-inference-of-phylogenetic-comparative-methods-pcm-using-julia/ This course offers an advanced understanding of probabilistic inference and its application for Phylogenetic Comparative Methods (PCM). Participants will gain a deeper knowledge of the stochastic processes, their inference and computation behind PCMs as well as their biological interpretations. Topics covered include basic foundations (i.e., diffusion processes such as Brownian motion, time-continuous Discrete Markov models, birth-death models) to then build-up to the more advanced models that allow for interdependence between processes (i.e., environmental and geographic diversification, inference of biotic interactions). The course will combine introductory lectures and hands-on exercises. For any questions, please write to courses@transmittingscience.com Best regards, Haris Haris Saslis, PhD Course Coordinator Transmitting Science www.transmittingscience.com [1] Links: [1] http://www.transmittingscience.com Haris Saslis - Transmitting Science (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
