We are pleased to announce an intensive short course on using R to perform
comparative methods to be held in Santa Barbara on June 11th to June 15th. This
course is funded by the National Science Foundation, and a number of stipends
to cover or defray travel, room, and board are available to qualified students
and post-docs. Topics covered will include an introduction to the R programming
language, tree manipulation, independent contrasts and phylogenetic generalized
least squares, ancestral state reconstruction, models of character evolution,
diversification analyses, and community phylogenetic analysis. If you are
interested please submit your CV along with a short (maximum 1 page)
description of your research interests, background, and reasons for taking the
course. Admission is competitive, and the best applications come from students
with data sets to analyze. International applicants are welcome.
