Matthew van Dam and I will be offering a new class in Barcelona with Transmitting Science this year, based in large part on the class that Nick Matzke and I taught last year. It's called Model-based Inference in Historical and Ecological Biogeography, and if last year was any indication it's going to be a lot of fun. We'll mostly be focusing on BioGeoBEARS and the new ENMTools R package, and there's a whole lot of very cool stuff going on with both. Join us if you can!
