We've been funded to start using Dictyostelium as a model system for early endomembrane evolution!! Now I'm hiring a Postdoc to join the lab in Edmonton and start playing with Dicty in the lab:) iaejup.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Our new paper is out! We find that different molecular clock methods recover distinct evolutionary timescales. royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

Take home message: driven by priors, different methods support competing scenarios for croc evolution. To find out which method we think is closest to the truth, follow the link to the paper! Thanks @phil-donoghue.bsky.social, @sabifo4.bsky.social, Davide Pisani, Alessia Tasca, Chris Brochu

The broader implication extends beyond flowering plants. Many famous "rocks vs. clocks" debates may not require choosing sides. The challenge is finding better ways to let fossils and molecules speak to each other. Link to our latest: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
