Hello EVOLDIR members A reminder - Turn evolutionary analyses into manuscripts that colleagues can assess and build upon. Writing Your First Paper (Free Seminar) is a 2-day seminar livestreaming October 5–6 with Jenifer Lopes (Department of Organismic & Evolutionary Biology, Faculty of Arts & Sciences, Harvard University). Structure evolutionary and genetic findings around a clear inferential argument, from hypothesis through methods and results. Learn to write concise abstracts, map relevant literature, and select outlets whose scope and audience suit an evolutionary study. Apply ethical AI-assisted editing and citation practices to make manuscripts reproducible and well situated in current debates. Details and registration: Full details are available on the Instats seminar page.
