The University of Bern's features the "Treasure Chest project", which uses real-world scenarios to teach stats to bio students. Our collaborator Stephan Peischl @spei.bsky.social connects genetics to epidemiology, bringing statistics to life! Article (in DE) in the link below:

Asymmetric life-history trade-offs shape sex-biased longevity patterns - Nature Communications
Males and females often live different lengths of time, but why remains unclear. Here, the authors present a theoretical model showing that trade-offs between survival and reproduction, together with ...

Check out our newest preprint! 📝 We find that adaptation on coevolutionary fitness landscapes is highly repeatable, but landscape-specific, and intergenomic epistasis creates coevolutionary fitness load for interacting species due to frequent fitness trade-offs 🏋️

Karolina Wąchała is building one of the things selection scans _really_ need: workflows for simulation so that one can check "whether you could even detect selection in your study". #eseb2025
