    A bibliography for the 2025 IDEA plenary

    ByJB Yoder 21 June, 202521 June, 2025

    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…

    Hear the story behind our latest paper

    ByJB Yoder 5 September, 2024

    This summer’s Evolution meetings in Montréal included an event that has become a popular part of the conference: a Story Collider show featuring stories told by conference attendees. The 2024 edition collected tales from “Outside the Distribution”, including personal experiences in fieldwork and navigating the early stages of a research career — and also the…

    ByJB Yoder 5 August, 2024

    The next scientific conference featuring Yoder Lab research is already underway, but it’s a good deal closer to our home base than Montréal — the Ecological Society of America annual meeting in Long Beach, California. Here’s where you can see the very latest research on Joshua trees and their pollinators, considerably less than two hours from…

    Policy report: “Inclusion and Advancement of LGBTQ+ People in STEM Fields”

    ByJB Yoder 12 June, 2024

    Last May I was invited to Washington, DC, for a symposium and workshop hosted by Northwestern University’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing. Presenters in the symposium and participants in the workshop worked together to sum up the state of knowledge about lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and otherwise queer folks’ experiences in…

    Talking BARTs in Bavaria

    ByJB Yoder 17 May, 2024

    Late last summer, Colin Carlson messaged me with an unusual proposal: He’d been invited to give a workshop on Bayesian additive regression trees and embarcadero, his package of BART-training utilities for R. The workshop would be in Germany, and Colin couldn’t make that trip. But, since our current collaboration drew heavily on embardacero, could he…

    Queer meetup at #Evol2019 — “Outgroup” goes official

    ByJB Yoder 16 May, 2019

It’s called “Outgroup”, for the obvious phylogenetic double-entendre, and it’s operated largely unofficially. Someone would post a time and location during the meetings, over a lunch break or at a…
