#NYresolutions

Given the changes to schools and exams across most of UK, I'm available for much of the next 4 weeks on Tutorful at sensible rates for tuition in a range of subjects but with a particular focus on #Earth and #Environmental Sciences. Virtual field trips too!

One of my favourite courses starts on Thu 21 Jan, 4-6pm: Scotland's Volcanoes, a six week online course.

*Also noticed I got a bit carried away with alliteration below: our Acanthodes is Early Permian

tom challands @2ndQuad It means we can have an 'internal' and a 'public' version of our data. With `pglogical`, any changes to data in the tables of the 'internal' PostgreSQL are automatically (and instantly) applied to the tables in the 'public' one. 1/2

So grateful for amazing collaborators like Dr Joseph Bevitt putting in the hard yards for us when COVID makes interstate travel difficult/impossible but we don’t want to lose precious ANSTO Australian Synchrotron beamtime 🙏🏾

palaeoware package TREvoSim and find that sampling of fossil taxa vastly improves the accuracy of phylogenies inferred from morphology. tinyurl.com/yycsy4rf
