A bibliography for the 2025 IDEA plenary
The recording of my talk for the 2025 IDEA plenary is now posted over on the Evolution meeting YouTube channel (there’s a bunch of dead air at the start of the recording; the action starts a bit after the 19 minute mark). A few folks have asked for copies of the slide deck, and you can now download that here. It also occurred to me that I should really provide a bibliography for the many papers I discuss in the talk, and that’s below:
